News (of sorts)

The architectural model that I've been working on recently is ended, not finished but ended.
I had a meeting with the architect, during which we discussed the progress of the model, which was slow (to put it mildly), and the relevance of it. He informed me that his client, who the model was being made for, was having problems with the neighbour's granting planning permission to develop the whole plot as originally intended. This, as it transpired, meant the model I was making, from the plans he'd given me, wasn't actually going to be of what would eventually get built - if anything does in the end.
Because of that, and what appears to have been a serious misunderstanding about the scale I was making it at (which I discussed previously), he confirmed that the model was no longer needed and that I didn't need to carry on with it.
Needless to say I was a little irked at this news. Although I wasn't particularly enjoying making it, because of the lack of relevant information on the plans I was given and the slightly tawdry subject matter, I would have liked to have finished it, if only for my own satisfaction.
I was paid (only half of what was originally agreed, but paid all the same) on the principle that I'd made roughly half the model. That seemed only fair and I was happy to leave it at that. I was a little annoyed a short while after he'd left, when I realised that I hadn't taken any photos of what I'd done, apart from on my shockingly poor camera phone, which will not be gracing your screens.


All in all this trip back to Bournemouth was a fairly fruitless endeavour. Having spent close to four whole weeks down here I have very little to show for it other than managing to find somewhere to live for September.
It's unlikely I'll post anything else between now and when term starts at university as I'll probably be at home, working on the projects I'd planned to spend my summer doing. Namely, stripping, priming and then re-spraying my old Royal Enfield bicycle frame and, hopefully, fitting a few new parts to it.
You never know though. I might get incredibly bored and go and do something productive, like join Rich at Seamless on work experience for a couple of weeks. But for now, that's it.
