I suppose on reflection it was optimistic, putting that 'made from girders' motto to the test... Central Seam (that somewhat risque Manhattan Transfer tribute band ) is decidedly boingy - as you've clearly worked out for yourselves through the medium of pixel. Suggestions of some more robust means of internal support would seem to be the prudent course in order to avoid any nasty surprises later on - not least of which would be seeing Central Seam getting squeezed injudiciously whilst adding the very last lick of paint at the end and turning into Freudian Slit.... Something metal and cruciform in shape may answer the case in that region, on so many levels.... 12 hours ago, perdu said: And we only use proper Araldite round here don't we?

On the "Solomon's Wind" tour they played an unplugged version of Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" together as the encore. The lead singer of Strategic Rug, Baba Yaga, has been in the news. He recently went to the dentist to have root canal work and refused to have Novocain. He wanted to transcend dental medication. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 8/12/2017 at 9:01 PM, 71chally said: Rat a tat ta ta! http://bobharris.org/pages/gallerypics.php?artist=OGWT Manhattan Transfer I have a nasty feeling that I may have seen this episode when it was originally on. Even as a youngster stylish clothing called to me.... To my bemusement we are now at p.59 with barely any of the kit itself constructed to speak of. If memory serves I did stick some portholes in at one point...oh, and a table, but that's about height of it really. Other kit parts have either been amputated or else sit beneath the unread instructions like virgins in shroud. On the plus side I've learned - or more accurately been taught by pals here via distance learning - vacforming, and have gotten a bit better at soldering. I've also lost track also of the various new tools that have been acquired since this thread began. Despite remaining as enthused by this build as I was at the start, I do have to face a poverty of free time for a period, for two reasons. One is simply to do with the headspace requirements of gainful employment over the next few months, which are going to ramp up significantly. On its own not an insurmountable situation of course, except that the Flying Boat GB kicks off here in a fortnight and there simply will not be sufficient free time to accommodate two builds simultaneously. I've therefore taken the decision to place this build in cryogenic animation until the New Year, by which time the GB will be complete. I've a lot of research materials to turn into plans before the GB actually starts so that in itself will take up the next couple of weeks. The subject is one of these: I hope that you'll find the project engaging enough to drop into: I can certainly promise obligatory outbursts of cutting and detailing. in the meantime, Pelican 9 is: Tony 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 The Do18 is the first aircraft to be confirmed as shot down by a British aircraft in WW2, by a Skua of 803 squadron, so there's an idea for a diorama.

Neither the nose or the tail of the kit look right to me - for either D or G variants - so some fun will likely ensure getting those right. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
