My Dear Uncle Martian Glad tideings to you and yours After consulting extensive...........thats Extensive.........ie a lot of google rubbish references, then going to a seance, mind reader, then a tarrot card reader, emailing my hapless modelling experten, and asking a german friend i came up with bugger all !!!!! so i sat down had a few stiff drinks of Belgian Beer (modelling accelerator) collapsing ......then after i woke up two days later that, What i would do.....and i humbly beseech you oh wise tentacled one with the attack wife , Is put it on the nose but off centre a bit like some Airliners do I do earnestly hope this helps Your unworthy Pleb Norm from Downunder P.S. can i start my Triebflugel please and join in or do i need a seperate thread as one doesn't like to offend or encroach There was an old fart from Downunder Who was always afraid of a blunder He begged of the Martian To take part like a Marvin Whilst hoping he wasn't ploughed under http://tQJhcP4t_400x400 by Norman Long, on Flickr

There once was a modeller from Dorset Who glued bits on whilst wearing a corset He said with a grin Whilst wiping his chin That he'd get General Melchett to Forfeit

Oooooh Goooodie Thanks berry mooch Martian the benevolent your royal highness Overwhelmed Downunder Its 40 degrees here today and blowing a gale i might go get some Belgian beer............

Ahhhhh Ooooohhhh Ya sprung me....it was a few medium size Bottles i /we consumed in model shed session with my son in law , to be honest amongst other senses i lost the ability to count after consuming two or was it three, ahhhhhhh what was the question again Honest of Straya (Who has found an Amusing Hobby 1/48 Tribethingy in his stash.....can i join in the buildathon ?)

Blimey Martian the sensible do you actually consume much Belgian Beer ? I tried some a few days ago I spilt some on my model bench that has various coats of paint, plastic glue , super glue and other modelling detritus on it It dissolved the lot !! I drank what remained in the bottle and then slept for two days Cautious and Hungover from Straya !!
