Henschel 123, an Airfix retro build, I first made this kit way back in the day, in the 70’s! 🥴. Very nostalgic to build it again.

Very much discouraged as a kid to build models - which makes me more determined to build as a so called grown up! Especially Airfix

Feeding time this morning - I was tearing up the ham into kitty sized pieces & feeding her - I was clearly taking too long fashioning a bit, my hand was head butted & hissed at! - ‘hurry up sunshine, there’s a Hungary cat here!’ - humans are so annoying!

Slow progress with little pudding, I went for an ear scruffle, 😦 backed off ears flat to her head hissing not at all happy! - deli ham & packets of Felix & being patient is the way😍 - I think with the food she’s looking healthier A trip to the vet is still a ways off! 🥲🐈🙏

As a man very much of the jet age ✈️ the homestead is preserved in the late 40’s it’s only old once the original Terrazzo floor, hardboard clad stair case, & 70’s pattern stair carpet with a worn Persian runner. Not everyone’s taste! 🤓 & I get hammered for it! 🥲 but I like it!
