All the way back in 4th!I was loving it until the the Aberdeen flag. It's all the way with Celtic over here
Ah well, at least you're above the Huns!

That reminds me of another very early lockdown obsession - Marbula One! (Or Marbula-E once they got proper sponsorship)
A lot of grand plans were made to build our own Marble Racing courses. Sadly none have come to fruition yet...

How's the pilot supposed to see out of it? Looks like a recipe for disaster if you ask me...

Great thread!
I find that working from home and homeschooling my kids means I have way less time than ever but an increased need to focus on something just for me (without noise).
During lockdown 2 in Melbourne I decided to do some model car building and enjoyed it. Here are a few shots of completed projects. Not even remotely pro but I'm also not investing anything in it and therefore just using dodgy brushes etc.

Lol. I had a scale Huey for a bit. Nothing terribly authentic. Just a plastic painted shell with a raised tail rotor kit but it had windows and a little pilot. He was a good little pilot. Didn’t say a lot though.

Noice. What's the go with the penguin?I bought a guitar and signed up for fender play. Has been slow going but it’s something I’ve always wanted to do and figured it was the perfect time to start.

Didnt pay $250 for this custom title
I did this a few years ago pre-kids. Lasted 3 weeks.
Really should sell it.

Yeah great hobby. I started as an adult years ago self taught, and it's been a good side gig to keep me occupied. Hitting a plateau now though so probably need lessons or something.
Me I bought a rower.
kids birthday was in the first week of lockdown and we got him a guitar. 9 years old and a lefty makes learning on line even harder for him, but cant see face to face lessons starting in the near future.

The model is a Gretsch penguin, I kind of like it.
I'm about 6 months in and had to push myself to keep going as I found it really hard.
That's awesome, I don't think I will ever make it to be able to plays gigs but I'm enjoying annoying the gf atm.

This will be a hard pill to swallow but he should learn how to play guitar right handed. Have a mate who's a lefty but plays as a righty and he wouldn't have it any other way.

I found the fender play app to be super helpful with learning. There are quite a few apps and lessons so hopefully you can find one that he clicks with.

Yeah same. Once you learn the basic chords it really opens up and you start making huge progress. More enjoyable too as you do campfire gigs. After that it's finger picking which is where I am stuck. I really need to learn theory too lol

I'll be happy when I can get to that stage. Finger picking is super cool. The more I learn the more I want to learn if you get me.

What the hell kind of mad Victorian-era 'beat-it-into-them' style of learning is this!?
These chaps were lefties and they all managed just fine!

My boy is a southpaw and a talented drummer. His first teacher encouraged him to set up the kit right hander but play open hand (left handed) so he could play any drum kit in the future. Seems to have done the trick. Curious thing his when he picks up a guitar or bass he plays right handed.

Yeh, I love Gretsch guitars. I was wondering on the significance of the penguin?

Yep. I have given up though. I just youtube cool vids and complain about how unco I am haha! The koreans seem to have a monopoly on finger picking geniuses.
