  1. Am a Brown Sauce on a Bacon Buty but chili sauce elsewhere. And the pen saved my sanity. Cheers Colin, I am impressed with the "Quilting effect" too. I tried that , leveled them off the best I could but still a lip sadly. Looks like a large sanding job coming up. Thanks @franky boy, @Hamden, @Retired Bob, @CH-53D, @elger, @dogsbody and @Stew Dapple. Well, how many shades of Black today ? Three.. Starting with Semi Gloss. Next NATO. Then Rubber. I have still to mask the tail wheel for the Aluminium. Wings and ailerons given a coat of primer. And the "Blanking Panels" added and filled, just a lot of sanding to do some when tomorrow. Sunshine .... Simon.
  2. The England Cricket team were touring Sri Lanka in the late 70`s and Ian Botham was asked what is the difference playing on grass and coconut matting. He replied"We have tried smoking coconut matting" Simon.
  3. Did you know that "Flat Earthers" have friends all over the globe!!!! Simon.
  4. A man in the locker room of an upscale gym in NYC answers a cell phone and puts it on speaker while he dresses. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. Man : Hello? Woman : Hi honey, it’s me. Are you at the club? Man : Yes. Woman : I’m out shopping and found a beautiful leather coat. It’s only $2,000 – is it OK if I buy it? Man : Sure, go ahead if you like it that much. Woman : I also stopped by that new Lexus dealership and saw one of the new models I really like – it’s on an opening special. Man : How much? Woman : $90,000. Man : Wow! OK, but for that price I want it with all the options. Woman : Great! Oh, and one more thing … I was just talking to Jamie and found out that the house we wanted to buy last year is back on the market … they’re asking $980,000 for it. Remember it was well over a million when we looked at it? Man : I dunno. Make an offer for $900,000 and they’ll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra $80,000 if that’s what you really want. Woman : OK. I’ll see you later! I love you so much! Man : I love you too. The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room were staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open. The man turns around and says, “Anyone know whose phone this is Simon.
  5. I just checked with my Mum, and yes it was Woodhall Spa, though she didn`t drop any bombs on the dams LOL Simon.
  6. Cheers lads, I am not tempted to rush her as there is a few problems ahead quite possibly. My dear mother went on one of those coach excursions a few years ago around "Bomber County" and visited the hotel where the "Dambuster crew drank. There is a replica of the Upkeep Mine in the garden, plus memorabilia on the walls of the hotel. With ketchup or brown sauce? Extra pepperoni? If this is still ongoing get medical advice Bob. That pen worked wonders Colin. Quicker to do the whole of one side than it took me just to do the cockpit with a hairy stick. You cannot beat a good pie, especially with chips... Thanks @Stew Dapple, @elger, @CH-53D, @stevehnz, @cobraleader, @Dr. Quack, @dogsbody. Bits and pieces day. IP done, the decals needed trimming to make them fit. Office done. As was the radio room. Sorry a bit blurry, I will try to get a better shot of it. Starboard side fitted out. Still have to blank out the windows up front and the beam one. Port side fitted out. Beam window blanked off, a bit of a quandary there. Time to cook tea Spag Bol. Simon.
  7. Looking good Roger. That wooden seat is really nice, great grain effect sir. Simon.
  8. One of England`s most successful slow bowlers passed away. Slow left-armer Underwood took 297 wickets in 86 Tests between 1966 and 1982. Simon.
  9. Yes it was nice Rory, Beef sausages to make a change instead of Cumberland or Lincolnshire. The pen does make life easier. Sorry to hear about your woes Bob, not nice what so ever, which end to point to the great white god. Hope you are better mate. Thanks @stevehnz, @elger, @cobraleader @Hamden, and @Dr. Quack. Progress, in the cave today. Bomb bay racks given a coat of Aluminium. As well as the wing spar (Centre section only, you don`t see the ends.) also the final bulkhead. Some Xf 81 sprayed around. The rest of the bulkheads cleaned up and ready to go. Ailerons fettled in and fixed into position. Also the nacelles blended in. Let`s see what this afternoon brings. Simon.
  10. Stevehnz Good progress with this Simon, you're fairly cantering along, It looks great so far 👍 Cheers Alan, the pics and your build have enabled me to correct the erroneous Airfix colour call outs. Thanks @stevehnz, @AliGauld, @CH-53D, @cobraleader, @Dr. Quack, @dogsbody, and @Retired Bob. Hi all, first off the marker pen used for the framing. After looking at Alan @LDSModeller build I was able to adjust the fuselage paint scheme. The fuselage floor got a makeover. As did these bits, including the "Berlin Bombsight". Engines got a change of colour. So did the turrets. Let that lot dry this evening. Bangers and mash for tea. Simon.
  11. Cheers Alistair, it would of driven me nuts doing with an hairy stick. Thanks @Retired Bob, @dogsbody, @Hamden, and @CH-53D. A potter around in the cave this evening and I got this done, not much. Radio panel glammed up a bit , with a bit of license. Some hairy stick work with XF 81. Still need a second coat on the cockpit floor. And some wood painted Humbrol 110. She is gradually coming together with a few more parts to paint before some gluing . Simon..
