Alistair Taylor Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I'm hoping for the 10x6 Sherwood Pent.It will of course be known as the Penthouse....This is the least expensive shed that one can stand up in....Or stand half a 100" wing up in....ahem.Alistair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Taylor Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Right - I've ordered it now.10 x 6 with lining and extra window - £650 all in.Now to finish the fence around it and decide how to arrange the balsa supplies.Alistair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Is that big enough Alistair, You'll need essentials like a fridge, drinks cabinet, TV, satellitebox, dvd player...just to make it habitable ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myron Beaumont Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 This is not Myron, this is Chrissy. What puzzles me is why men think they are the only ones who need a shed. As it happens,I have the garden shed for my gardening stuff. It doesn't have a CD player, or heating, or any of these luxuries that men seem to need. Nesh, nesh. No, I have a bench and my plant pots.Now, Myron does his modelling in the lounge, with the TV on. He has used my bread board, my chopping board, and generally covered the place in balsa dust. Do I mind? Actually, I don't. I find aeromodelling very interesting, and usually read RCM&E as well. I even prove capable of going to the model shop (on my own) and coming back with the right gearOf course, what is required are two sheds.Seriously though, surely it should not be an exclusively male hobby?

Tim Mackey Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 It is not. More females are joining in, and my wife is due to take her A certificate test this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myron Beaumont Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 TimboWell, that's great. I was only half joking, except of course about the shed. Incidentally, have just read your very helpful reply about batteries. tell me something. LiPos - what is the chemical composition? i do not understand why they do not self-discharge? i used to sail RC boats, years ago, and always had battry problems. What exactly are LiPOs chemically? I know they are Lithium polymers, but I do not understand the electrochemical processes that are taking place as I would in a conventional batteryThank youChrissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Taylor Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 My missus is very supportive of my aeronautical efforts, and has had a go on a couple of occasions.She's a big fan of jigsaws so I reckon there's potential for participating in kit assembly in the not too distant future.The only problem is the balsa dust sends her into sneezing fits.David - 10 x 6 is going to have to be big enough - the garden is only about 25' x 25'! I suspect that the ISE (In Shed Entertainment) is going to be limited to a radio, possibly a tape player (ooh! Old skule!) and an optic borrowed from the local publican with an assortment of single malts attached.....I was sorely tempted by the pile of classical LPs growing mould down the local recycling centre the other day....Ho hum, that's progress for you.Alistair T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myron Beaumont Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Slightly off thread but so wnat- I think I could make her a tiny bikini out of glosstex !!? (any excuse to go & buy a couple or so sheets) & I'd have loads left for my next "model"? Hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
