A juvenile Water Monitor has taken up residence beneath our house in Bangkok - Lucky for me as I am a bit of a "David Attenborough-er"
Fed on Bacon and Chicken Breast fillet this baby will outgrow it's new home in the next few months but I am determined to see this fantastic creature survive infancy.
The Water Monitor, (Varanus salvator) is a large species of monitor lizard capable of growing to 2 metres (6.6 ft) in length, with the average size of most adults at 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) long.
Maximum weight of Varanus salvator can be over 25 kilograms (55 lb), but most are half that size.
Their body is muscular with a long, powerful, laterally compressed tail.
Water monitors are one of the most common monitor lizards found throughout Asia
In Thailand, the word Water Monitor or local word 'เหี้ย' (hia) is used as an insulting word for evil things including people with bad driving skills, men who have been unfaithful or people who win the lottery after only buying one ticket :)
Its name is also considered a word bringing a bad luck, so some people prefer to call them 'ตัวเงินตัวทอง' which means 'silver and gold' in Thai to avoid the jinx.
I know, I know, all my Thai friends will say I am crazy - but the monitors are just such amazing animals that I can not help it!!!!!!

RC Sail Boat - Brigantine "Edith Ann"
The build for this model started with a foam core which was then covered in fiberglass cloth and epoxy. - I got the ideas and techniques from watching a video on making a homemade Composite Aircraft.
This provides you with a lightweight and very (I mean very) strong hull which you can stand on top of without causing damage if you so wished
To give a traditional built feel to the hull, the gunwale and buttocks (of the ship) were given a veneer of hardwood so it was hard to tell the ship was not completely made from wood.
The deck was made from a cheap 3mm plywood which was scored and marked into planks and given a few coats of shellac dissolved in methanol (french polish stain) the score lines were lightly marked again with a black fine-pointed pen before a final coat to highlight the individual plank effect:
