Sorry haven’t had a chance to pick it up for ages. Was hoping for a bit of time on my week off this week, but I’ve been found other things to do around the house. Including installing a new cooker and finding out the hob I fitted in a few years ago has had an electrical fault and nearly burnt out the neutral wire. No idea when that happened, but now have to get a new one and fit it. Not a single second to get any modelling done.
I might have to admit defeat with this little project.
As I continue to learn on harsh terms, no one escapes real life. Definitely get that electrical stuff fixed.
I will let the campaign run for the full extension, just in case.
Thanks.
Real life really has found a way of getting in the way of a lot of projects the last year or so.
This one though is strange. I don’t remember hearing anything pop or noticing a burning smell, so I have no idea when it happened. Until I flipped it up to put the oven in and checked the terminal under the hob, I had no idea and had been using it. I’m not going to use it again just to be on the safe side. I dread to think what could have happened had I not checked. Doing a bit of googling, loose wires arcing seems to be the most likely cause. So it’s possible the screw could have loosened. I don’t know. I think a new hob and new wires are the way to go.
I am currently replacing a lot of old light switches and power power receptacle in my own house. It is clear that in many cases, the plastic deteriorated with age, causing a few failures. In my kitchen, a few of the end connectors for florescent lights were ready to fall apart. I will rewire that for LED bulbs.
Wow! I don’t envy you that task. If I had to do that, I would be calling in the professionals. Sounds like you caught that just in time before something more serious happened.
But yeah, electricity is not something to be taken lightly. I can manage simple connections and changing plug sockets, but anything major I’ll get more qualified people. Gas, that I won’t touch!
Unidentified Flying Object is now concluded!
Congratulations to @justsendit, @KoSprueone, and @Trisaw for your successful entries!
Campaign information was submitted for campaign medal awards. If your campaign medal does not show up in a week or two, please let me know.
Thanks for the fun campaign. I already have kits for another one if it happens.
Thanks for the great campaign and the unique campaign ribbon. When I saw the campaign ribbon of the UFO over the road, I really wanted it, hence I entered. 
Thanks for running the campaign. It was fun seeing the builds come together.
Disappointed in myself that I never finished that little F-19. A very frustrating little model, probably should’ve chosen something better in hindsight. I’ll post some images when I do get around to it again.
How would all of you feel about an Alien Technology campaign? Build a model of a piece of alien technology, an alien wearing some form of alien technology, an alien craft, a human using some form of alien technology, and/or or a human craft augmented with alien technology. The alien technology should be an obvious focal point of the subject.
I’m for it. I can reenter my 2025 Sci-Fi Campaign Japanese garage kit resin mech as “Alien technology.” I barely started that kit last year.
