Seems I've been a victim of a Senior Moment. You know how you leave the room and then can't remember why you left the room in the first place LOL.

Here is the photo I planned to post but somehow slipped into senior forgetful mode. This is for the G3 Building Construction Set.

A couple of YY Works In Progress. All my in progress work has ground to a halt do to an accidental eye injury. I'm now Pirate Joe with a black eye patch over my right eye. Being temporarily one eyed wouldn't normally be so bad, but back when I had cataract surgery, I opted for Mono Vision. For those not in the know, they place a lens in one eye for close up vision and the other eye for distance vision. Sadly, my right eye is my close up eye.  I can read by enlarging the screen and using a pair of "cheaters" but it's not something I can do for too long without getting strained.  Hopefully I can ditch the patch in a few more days.

I finally finished this set right before the injury.

Thanks for the comments!

I put red the Bentley together today. It's shown with my original BRG Bentley (left rear) and my lighter green custom (which, when made, I didn't realize was close to a rare variation) and my newest Metallic Red custom.

Now, before someone comments on the red interior on the red custom, that interior is from the dark green (BRG) original model. The interior now in the dark green model is broken on the far side (which can't be seen in the pic) and is the interior that came with the beater that is now red. I've ordered a new interior from Flowers and when it arrives, the red model's interior goes back into the dark green model. The new interior will have tan leather look seats and I am considering one of the two for the tonneau & boot cover:
Tan seats and tonneau cover with black boot cover.
Or
Tan seats and black tonneau & boot cover.

Considering putting all three on a custom made stand with the color photo of the real 1:1 Blower Bentley on the headboard.
