Yes but only at dusk when they laugh at each other for about 10-15 minutes. During the day they turn -up and sit in the trees looking for worms and snakes. They keep our place clear of snakes in the summer. Kookaburra's are my favourite bird. Very handsome with loads of personality.
....and yes to a good spot for creativity. I have breakfast out there every morning now.

My progress on the RFM T-80U..
I have moved the T-80U build to its own post, so please find the model build info there on this tank. This post will be saved for reference and general russian modern model kit info.

Using the hook for a holder? Building up nicely Ian.

So I thought I should show the hook set-up so it doesn't seem so mysterious.........just fits in the AK vice.

"I would like to show the engine deck slightly raised as in the photo but it all depends on how much engine detail I need to add."
I found a pic......'doable' I think.......a bit of 'gizmology' should work. Only has to look the part through a small gap!

Wheel time...........
I filed-off the tread pattern on the tyres to varying degrees to simulate wear and tear. I will put the most worn ones up front, next to the front wheel. I also collapsed the suspension on the leading left wheel as in the photo.
The next steps will be on the superstructure/ upper chassis and the turret.
I have made a start on the side plates and will be detailing these a little more by cutting sections out, adding scratches and replacing some of the molded latch pins and matching mounts so some are missing etc.
A start.....

Nice touch, looks like you hollowed out the pin retainer between those plates.

yes but a few more to go, plus a few pins to create out of wire. The scratches need a little sanding as well.

Some more work done on the T-80U
more PE attached and body details........drilled out the small holes where the clips for the front rubber sheets are joined.
