Here is an update on the scale MER I'm working on:

The scale model Rover progresses. There will be well over 700 individual parts to the model (the "curse" of having many close-up photos) so it's taking a great deal of time just getting the parts ready to install.

I'm also planning to retire in September; I've been busy ending my 27-year involvement in my "day job" and handing it over to my sucessor. I'll have more time in a couple of months to work on the model! I've also been developing a couple of side businesses to supplement my pension, so my time has especially been at a premium.
