Pete in Lincs Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Well, I think that clears up any confusion. And now back to our regular modeller. This week we continue with the fuselage and, as a special treat, the modeller will answer questions from the audience. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Sorry Guys, I should have pointed out that the Martianess is a Dorset girl, hence the strange lingo. I had endless trouble with it when I moved down here. I have had a slight relapse with the lurgy but have at least managed to get the sonar cable fitted to the winch.

Martian Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Thanks chaps. Just got back from sorting out more problems in Oxford and have to go back again tomorrow for a few more days. I can't see me getting in the Martian cave, let alone modelling this side of Boxing Day. Remind me again why you Earthlings insist on celebrating Christmas! Its Christmas on Pluto for The Martianess and myself next year, unless of course someone discovers a planet even further out in the Solar System Bah Humbug of Mars 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Quote I should have pointed out that the Martianess is a Dorset girl, This would explain a lot Martian, all makes sense now. Did you remember to bung a Babel Fish in your ear upon meeting her? Quote Its Christmas on Pluto for The Martianess and myself next year, unless of course someone discovers a planet even further out in the Solar System How about Niburu?...it's slightly further out than Rockall....mind you, going by the tin-foil-hat, doomsday 'foreseers' brigade if you hang on a couple of weeks it'll probably be close enough for you to leap aboard, saving yourselves the bus fare. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 It was the only way I could make sense of anything she said! Niburu sounds like a plan as by next Christmas it should actually be moving away from earth! Martian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that you grew better take care; Sincerely. CC Thanks Alain. Sadly the rubbish that started over Christmas is still ongoing with no sign of a let up. This has had a big impact on my health both physically and mentally to the extent that I am waiting on extra hospital appointments. Although I have not lost interest in these and my other large projects, I am finding any meaningful concentration next to impossible at the moment. I would rather wait until I feel a bit better than go at things half cock and end up ruining many months, and in the case of the Tracker, years work. I have been fiddling about with a 1/72 Airfix Buccaneer to see if that helps kick start things. Martian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Great to hear that you're still rocking on Martian, in the face of adversity. Buccfolding sounds as good an occupational therapy as any, certainly likely to be more efficacious than poking a crystal up each nostril and your earholes full of burning sage, in some New Age travesty. At least so I'm led to believe by Wolfdong Des, our local shaman / postman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) So here's a coincidence Old Des has gone back to the ould sod to retire/become a postshamen huh He was always a bit of a weirdo when he used to be the singer in our band Scrapper's Bhoys Ah we had dreams of the Big Time back then, Wolfdong always thought he'd be pulling the birds and I hoped to make enough dosh to put down the deposit on a Fender Bass I coveted in Jack Woodroffe's Then Scrapper had that other scrap with PC Dingbatt outside Sparkhill Library Dreams of dust huh Give old Des a clip round the lug for me, he owes me a Tizer Martian's fan club could keep this one near the top, so's he doesn't have to go delving in the basement when he is 'Resume capable' Edited February 2, 2018 by perdu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be the only postpersonage who wears chaps and facepaint out on his morning round. It's like having Roy Wood from Wizard mauling the parcels through your letterbox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
