Set Back

For some unknown reason the glue did not set properly on the circus board. I'm blaming both my ineptitude and the weather! The reality is I have no clue. I have used the glue before and had no problems so I really am at a loss. Anyway I went to work on it yesterday and half the pieces fell off. Looking back it's quite comical really, but it dd not feel so at the time.

Anyway moving forward I have been to B+Q and bought some tiny nails and a different glue and I shall fix the problem over the weekend. SO slightly behind schedule in my mind, but nothing to much to worry about.

My main concern is that I nearly got sidetracked so early into the year. I did not and have not succumb to way ward projects but I must say it did start to come close. My mind was wandering about Victorian Zombie games. They could have a vastly different feel to a contemporary zombie game. BUT I am not going to look into it as an idea any further, I need to focus on the projects I have identified and not get sidetracked on a whim.

That's today's very brief post. All the best and I'll post again soon!!!! All the Best Clint

    1. I plan to work on it Saturday afternoon. I am sure it's only a temporary set back. I am confident the new B+Q suppies will fix the problem.

    1. Nials gaffer tape and more glue! If I can't fix it with that what kind of model maker am I? Now just waiting for it to dry out.

    1. Thinking of bringing in doors from the shed overnight. That might fix it (along with more glue nails and gaffer tape, as mentioned above).

  4. I'm always of the opinion that all modelling catastropes can be fixed - more glue, nails, gaffa, spit, clamps, pins, just use whatever it takes.

    1. All done, now just waiting for it to dry out. I will not even look at it until Monday. Maybe think about doing more on Tuesday or Wednesday depends how it dries (or not).

  5. Nothing better as some good woodglue and tiny nails! I hope you can fix it, because this is a very nice project!
