Not really homesteading, but I realise I do probably need some hobbies that don't earn money. One that's been nice is my lads interest in models and model making. I was into this when I was about his age (and older) and so a few months back we got all my old stuff out again.
It's really reignited something in me, and it's been lovley to sit on an evening and do some painting with him and watch his skills grow.
As always with me we've gone all in on this. We have a 3D printer (although this will be for work as well), and have a lot of models we've been putting together and painting up. Of course that means we need somewhere to keep them.
The downstairs loo is just painted brickwork, so I thought it could do with brightening up with a few models on the walls. I made up a unit from some good quality ply and ordered some glass doors to protect the models.
A fun project and a good way to make use of a narrow bit of space. I'm going to build a second one of these units for the opposite wall next I think. We've already filled this one! I've been told we'll have one each then.
I could do with those doors Kev. We have similar shelves full of ornaments that attract dust especially when the stove is lit.
ReplyDeleteI'll find the place where I go the glass from. It was about £120 with the hinges which I didn't think was too bad. Not sure tehy'd ship to Ireland though is the only downside.
DeleteThis is very nice!
