This is how I feel after Covid-19 ruined my trip to the Black Hills Model Engineering Show...

I think we're all feeling a bit like that now Nick ..... Damn Wuhan Flu and the CCP  .....  and the fires and the smoke too, for me here!!!

Well illustrated Nick!

Guess the feeling is worldwide at the moment...
Not much public fun Covid-19 hasn´t ruined over here this year either, and at the moment it doesn´t seem to loosen its grip at all.
Cheers

Wilesco, take note! We want a man running a fire extinguisher for all the fires around the world!  :D

The Virtuelator is truly an icon for these times.
So compliant that he perpetually & obediently wears a mask ... alone ... futilely banging a pan —- with zero efficacy.

In my American city he could get a black mask n’ hoodie Andytifa update. Use that little hammer to fight systemic somethings. Bash a few shop windows to acquire some Nike tennis shoes. Replace the hammer with a matchstick to ignite a patrol car. Or simply add a sickle to the hammer for homage to the expertly engineered Chinese Wuhan virus.

Yep, that there Covid sure did ruin a lot of the free world this year.
I am begrudgedly in awe of its’ strategic and tactical use by the CCP designers.

I have been corrected that this is a D5 as the D6 did not exist till sight glasses were introduced and then the kit version of that became the D5. Confusing, but not as confusing as Wilesco making a completely new version of the D4!
