    Pull Along Block Spinners - Another two.
    My daughter requested one for a girl friends baby daughter so I did two.
    The photos give you a better idea of the process to make them.
    Cheers, crowie

    Very cool Crowie. Thanks for the WIP photos. What ingenious idea for painting. Also the second to last photo I spy a race car perhaps. It has a racing strip

    Looking good. I take it the workshop has dried up enough for your presence.

    G'Day Bret, The race car is a repair from KinderGym.
    We've finally had enough fine weather for the shed to dry out, but no rain at all for May thus far.
    Cheers, crowie

    Thanks all for the encouragement.
    No special paints Graham,
    Just gloss acrylic with a couple of coats of pressure pack clear gloss.
    In fact most of my paint was "old stock" bought through a mate at Hudsons at very actractive prices.
    I've got about 40 off 1lt cans of bright colours plus a few cans of paint colouring; though I still need help from my wife & girls to get the right colour combinations.
    Cheers, crowie

    Not at all but I never asked....
    I'm happy to take the credit for the painting.
    The colours & some of the design must go to my beautiful wife.
