Ok, perhaps that last post was a bit presumptuous. Sorry for the long delay, again. But I come bearing good news. I have finished my wall climbing gloves! They don't necessarily work, but I've finished making them to the design that I devised. I'll try them out as soon as possible, depending on the weather.
If these don't work, then I'm going to remake them exactly as they are at the moment, but with fish hooks. They will undoubtedly be much better at gripping onto the wall, though a point of concern is that they aren't nearly as strong as the hooks I'm using at the moment. But hopefully they'll be strong enough.
Here's a picture of them.

If they end up working then I might paint them to make them actually look nice, as opposed to the mess they are now.
I have a number of new projects going on at the moment. I'm working on two different models of Noah's ark. One of them is 1.5ft long, and the other is going to be 3ft long. The smaller one is about half finished, and I'm making it with my highly dubious friend. He's very, very good at making models. Here's a picture of us making it.
After a very lengthy debate about where the door would go, he spent most of the time making the main structure, and I spent most of the time attaching matchsticks along the underneath of the roof, to make windows. It ended up looking very good. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to finish it. But we're going to meet up again next month, and hopefully we'll mange to complete it on that occasion. Here's a picture of the interior so far.
The larger one is going to be a project I'm going to do with my dad. I bought lots of balsa wood, and though it won't be quite enough for the whole thing, it will keep us going for a good long while. I'm also going to make tiny clay models of all the animals and put them inside.
And that's it for now. If these wall climbing gloves do end up working, then I can move on to the web shooters again.
