Fausto Coppi's 1953 Bianchi

The other great love of my life is... My wife, clearly.
But the other other love of my life is cycling, so when I was asked to build this as a favour to a friend I jumped at the chance.
The kit is by Italian manufacturer Protar, who as far as I can tell did a nice line in car and retro motorbike kits. And apparently, the odd bicycle.

Sometimes

Sometimes you just don't feel it.
The paint doesn't flow properly, your brushstrokes look messy. It's just, not, "there".
Tonight is one of those nights. So instead i'll have a glass of wine, watch a brilliantly dreadful movie and have another go tomorrow.
That's the important bit, tonight might be a bit of a letdown but there is always tomorrow to have another go. So, don't be discouraged and keep trying.

It's a journey, not a race.

Peace

Something Rotten this way comes



I fell in love with this model when I first saw it. Which is a little bit creepy when you stop and think about it...

 Say hello to the first finished member of the slavering horde. He's a nasty looking piece of work isn't he?
