But what? Got a little bit of trail building planned, and lots of books to read, but I fancy something to make when the weather's awful and I'm not out getting wet.
Never really got into Airfix models as a kid, should I give them a second chance? Lego is awesome but expensive... Any ideas?

Fix my bike, if you like. 😉
Susan the Commencal, currently in a state of deep knackeredness.
Collection only. 😀
Technical Lego ?
A 3d printer ?
Raspberry Pi ?
Pron subscription ?
Second hand prices normally remain high though, you could have fun building a set and admiring it for a while before selling it on. You might even make a profit if you pick the right set - all Lego is limited edition and the 2nd hand prices of some particular sets are unbelievable.Lego is awesome but expensive
I have a model Karmann Ghia stripped and ready to rebuild for the right money 😀
(Scale 1:1)
Should have said, cheap is preferable 😉
A 3d printer would be cool, but I fear it would simply languish next to the computer if I even managed to get it to work.
Offcuts from the local timber yard, some basic woodworking tools, and make something for your/someone elses kids? Or a chess set - that would keep you busy!
Edit: Making a chess set, not just playing chess.
Come and sort my garden out if you like 😆
I want to get something like [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Project-bmw-R75-7-possibly-worlds-fastest-classic-cafe-racer-bobber-airhead-/251332187228?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item3a8490d45c ]this[/url]
and build one of these

Hey Mr Queue Jumper! My Commençal first, then your garden!
Speaking of which, what time's convenient for you to collect, flyingmonkeycorps? 😉
baking?
trails near me need a good pruning fetch a chain saw to wigan keep you busy for 6 months
Got a kawasaki zx7 R that would fit the bill for you 😉
STOP TRYING TO SELL ME MOTORBIKES! The Mrs would kill me. Plus we don't have room, sadly. I get in enough trouble building push bikes in the kitchen.
Quite like the idea of woodworking, but again space is an issue. Chess set though. That would be a proper challenge. Then I could learn to play chess next weekend!
Camo16 - Tuesday? You should probably look at the state of some of my bikes before letting me loose on it though.
The Karmann has 4 wheels - much safer
Takes up more space though, don't think it'd fit in the kitchen.

Just don't respray it pink and it's happy days.
Tuesday's fine. If you're lucky I'll also show you my wood (pile).
But pink is the only colour I have :/
Themz the breaks I guess. 🙁
Find yourself another winter project then. See if I care.
* sulks *
Commencals look good in pink anyway. See?

Knitting? You could make yourself a snuggly warm balaclava 😉

I'm converted. Tuesday back on then? 😉

What year is your Ghia, and are you serious about selling?
🙂
I was going to tech up my garden, adding some raspberry pis to record sensor data and stick some cameras here and there to record critters, then write a website to make it all accessible.
You are free to steal this (Admittedly not very original) idea.
I would. If I had a garden to speak of!

Do the inside version then. Simple. Original. Slightly weird. Perfect.
At least I'd be able to keep up with progress as you [s]butcher[/s] repair my newly pinked up Commencal.
I think butcher is probably more apt... I'm thinking of a kind of "raw meat" kinda finish.
Plans are forming already then? Excellent, Smithers. Raw meat's the in look for 2014, so that suits me perfectly.
Sounds like you're spare time's sorted this winter! Might as well close the thread now. 😉

Nice.
It amazes me what google throws up sometimes. Possibly literally in this case.
Oh, I thought that was one of your past efforts, as per...

Ah well. As you were. 😉
Buy an old Landrover.
I havent had so much fun since my first Technics Lego kit!

It's a 69 and for the right money yes it's for sale. Drop me an email if you are interested. Paul at Vividink dot info
Build a go cart (proper gravity only type) out of wood and wheels (possibly a brake).
Heres my winter project:

More of that Landy please Stoner!. . . .
cc - am in the middle of painting the internal body work (seat box, floor panels etc) and then Im waiting on the return of my bulkhead from the galvanizers before making much more progress. I will put some pics up when there's something more substantial to show.
My winter project I picked up a while ago, 77 Yamaha xs750 triple.

Have done quite a bit already, but still a long way to go. Hoping to get the engine turning over in the not too distant future.
Buy a fatbike.
No need for winter projects then...
Papercraft Howl's Moving Castle?
I guess you'd have to get it printed A3 somewhere so might cost £20 or something.

I think we may have a winner...
Hey flyingmonkeycorps, yesterday was Tuesday, right? I bloody stayed in all night waiting for you to pick up my Commencal for meat-based fixing over the winter. Where the hell were you?
