So to all those out there who read this then big apologies for the technical glitch. Still no idea as to why we crashed but we’re finally alive, back off the slab and stumbling around making the usual strange noises.

Finally managed to get my fume extractor fitted today, which means painting can start at last.

Been going round in circles on this new image for a while now, my indecision getting the better of me yet again. What I’ve found interesting is with the slightest change the image can take on a completely different feeling. The first version was this…
