scratch - building with BB

Sorry guys i'm having trouble with my PC,it keeps cutting out. A failed update caused this problem.i hope to be on line again soon. It is my blueprint of my water-wheel. BB

[Beano Boy]

Once upon a time in the flat marshy fenland of East Anglia, it was there a little plump fellow living the best possible way that he could was beginning to make cut up and away books that would open up to reveal ripping yarns.
Is there no end to this compulsive disorder? Nope!
two samples have been made up.



Smallish Book Covers, leading in headway direction to a few of my tiny wee books!



My new PC, is out of its box,and although i decorated the top of it with a few pieces from the toy box, it was my dear Mrs B, that ran her magic fingers upon my keyboard in regulated style and got me on Line again.Applause! Applause! Indeed. BB

It seems my idle jest regarding .25 cm high books that actually open has turned into challenge accepted.

[Beano Boy]

The smallest book that i have ever seen.











Sir Percival Nots G Nivil a Doctor of Archaeology and Mathematics
is a discoverer of strange new worlds Time Traveler!

The journal he has tucked under his arm was used to scale each of the Bookcases.




The open book cover with the spine running down the centre is what is needed for more individual folded books. i guess Gunnar could help me? After all he is The Librarian!

i hope upon this brief note that it finds you all well, and full of the activity of life. BB

This endeavour inspired by Bluefalchion! BB

I suppose I will have to guard my words carefully going forward, but then again, it might be more fun just to throw caution to the wind.

Where would BB Be without Mrs. B? Glad you're back online Paul, well done Mrs. B.

The little book is fabulous, it may be the smallest book you've ever seen but I'm sure it contains some very tall tales.

I'm wondering what glasses you need to read that wonderfull tiny book?

Did I say something about glasses?

[Beano Boy]

i am taking time out due to illness, before processing more little books.
i had my second Covid vaccination three days ago,and i am so ill.
It upset all my old war wounds i collected throughout my long intrepid life.
Counting my rich blessings, i still have a very unsound head and fun filled typing finger! BB

Beano, I wish you a speedy recovery, we need your advice and your tutorials. I learn a lot from your posts and you are a true source of inspiration.

[Kostis Ornerakis]

I also wish a speedy recovery BB!

[Beano Boy]

Thank you guys, your comments mean a lot.
The proverbial saying of my service days," No pain no gain",
rings truer now as indeed it did before. BB

[Kekso]

I remember few years ago when you told us that your eyes aren't as good as before... and now you're making book like that

I wish you speedy recovery as well

[Beano Boy]

Yes Dalibor,i have very poor eyesight now. Both eyes burst into a galaxy of floaters,over 3 years ago ,if you know what i mean?

i am sure some might know what bb, means?

i believed at that time, that i was going blind,well it felt like both eyes were loose and could not focus, but no. As the weeks turned into a month or more eventually that part of my brain that governs sight, could see past all the tiny stars ,and the galaxy vanished, but alas not the large floaters.

At the hospital i saw a very fat hobbit sitting upon a high chair in a dark closet of a broom cupboard, and after examination he the little fellow from India reassured me that there was no damage that would cause blindness and that my eyes would recover slightly.

i bought a load of cheap spectacles from China, off E Bay way back before the year of the Bat hit Britain and the rest of the world. They helped me to see up close. A combination of a pair of those plus my visor with two thick glass lenses before me, has helped me do tiny stuff. Of course our BB,is all fiddle de dee thumbs and trembling fingers which does create a spectacle of fun filled laughter!

To be able to laugh at ones own afflictions is a jolly good way to break a few of me ribs.

i have always been able to put theory into practice, but after so many years of daffodils and oranges that have passed me by,i have slowed down but oddly my fresh ideas have not. Very frustrating indeed. BB

[Bluefalchion]

No matter how long I watch, I can't seem to get tired of seeing your magnificent little fireplace bookcase.

I am glad you persevere through each of those difficulties to share with us your wonderful creations.

[Beano Boy]

Thank you Bluefalchion, It is as live as i can make it. As each stage is photographed on the day and posted out straight away. The cutting edge of failure i call it, like when i developed a new way into sci fi fantasy moulding.

Which is another form of scratch building fun from my yesteryear. BB

[Peter]

You have to ask Mrs BB to downsize the glasses. They are to big!

[MABO]

I hope you are really feeling better now after your vaccination. So you can go on posting astonishing pictures of your modelling factory.

[Beano Boy]

Yes Jan i am feeling much better now, and have been working throughout my days since last Saturday the first of this new month. i wonder what May will bring us here in the United Kingdom with the herding let out? It sure was a spectacular display on my part upon that far off day Peter. BB
