Been busy working on Sammy the Volga…
-
- Did body work on Sammy the Volga…
-
- Went for the serious start of spots rusting first…
-
- Found too many spots…
-
- Poor wing on top is just in bad shape…
-
- Poor Sammy getting old…
-
- But she is still a pretty girl and she loves the Tiny Russian Village….all done for now!
I mixed paint myself from blue, green and black and came pretty darn close to the color. A little bit of this and that and finally reached the happy color level. It works, for Sammy is a country girl and things like this give her more character…
I used a dremel tool and ground out the rust. A dremel is a fantastic tool. Then cleaned well and body puttied the spots. Then sanded the best I could by hand and after cleaning it again, used my magic mix of paint and touched Sammy up. I found three more spots to do next week, I have enough horsefly bites for this week…
Sammy is going on 22 years old and still looks good….and runs good…
Then here are images of some extra stuff that has been going on…
-
- Had to rebuild stairs on back of home…
-
- All painted and waiting second coat of paint…
-
- painted my table I built…
-
- Vova came by to say hi. I guess he is dreaming of going to a beach somewhere?
-
- Then my sweetpea sent me a picture. I guess she has become a rabbit while I left?
-
- The grouchy American Bear at TRV…
Vova is just about ready to turn 70 years old, Sweetpea seems to be turning into a rabbit and me well I am just a grouchy bear fixing everything I can in our Tiny Russian Village homes. Just like I need to mow today? Maybe?? and well maybe Big Village first then mow?
Mowing will make anyone grouchy…
Thought maybe you would like to see the criminals behind the Tiny Russian Village escapades…
