I looked at the ice cream maker but I think it’s for the standard models not the bowl lift, so happily for my waistline it won’t work biggrin
I do need to use it more though.
Bye bye waistline (I seem to recall you're an ice cream fan?):

Ice cream is my utter downfall biggrin
Still not convinced though, my old mixer was a tilt head and my understanding is that you need this type for it to work. My KitchenAid is a bit different as the head doesn’t lift - there is a handle on the side and rather than the head moving the bowl moves up to the machine if that makes sense?

I’ll look into it properly later and double check. Be amazing if it would though!

Just had a Lego Ornithopter from Dune delivered.



It’s a bit more, er, technical than I expected; the assembly instructions run to 227 pages yikes

Mrs DS says I can’t hang it from the lounge ceiling frown

Wicked Brick do a pretty decent stand for it that holds it upright. They had a wall mounted one that was very nice but it was a limited edition and sold out.

Love Propstore but it's a dangerous place. Him indoors has a small Fett obsession and one of the most memorable scenes for him from his childhood was the cloud city dinner.
We were at an even some years ago and Propstore were there, was amazed to find a call sheet for that scene so bought it for him. Had a few other call sheet/artwork bits from them over the years.

Off to Disney for the first time this year next week, managed to squirrel away a nice little sum to spend, so expect me to turn into a human whirlwind in the Phantom Manor store biggrin

Colin Skeaping mentioned in that picture used to own a 1960's TVR Griffith my father later owned. He managed to crash it at least twice, requiring a new bodyshell.
