perdu

Don't pretend infinite possibilities worry you, Garth. Seen too many of your 'dauntable but' builds before for that one to stick. And you back here is good news for us.

A lovely Chipmunk Ben thanks. Colour me that same hue as Fritag will you and thanks for the info on Hataka tip drying on the brush, must remember to add a little Flow Enhancer to the mix. Mmm the smell of Chipmunks after RAF Sgt's Mess chips at lunch time...* *A perk for being a C.I. in the ATC in the seventies was Civilian Instructors got to stay in the Sgt's Mess whilst one's buddies lorded it in the Officer's Mess. I knew my place.

After watching your fun and games with this elsewhere G it's lovely to see it here being 'tamed'? OK not tamed but you have hammered it into submission at least. The Blue Steel trolley is really fabulous though, have a wow. I'd have enjoyed seeing these at Leeds, they're marvellous. I'm wandering off thinking thoughts of Mandators in a fetching yellowy colour scheme now... Good to have you back.

Fabulous, simply wonderful sir. Until you wisely brought all five into view I had a favourite photo of the camo lady sitting looking away from camera, shyly, but now I have no favourites because. Overwhelmed senses. I feel proud to have been one of the heckling hangers-on during our epic run, what b---y wonderful way it was to get involved with modelling history making. Thank you Steve. Off now to the Defiant build and a general peruse of the build threads to cool down my febris'd brow.

That is very true, my 50+ son came with me to Le Mans last year. Although his interest in motor sport is non-existent we had a great time in Normandy after the race and he jumped on a train to visit Paris on the Saturday of the race beginning. The best thing is when we and my grandson do the pub crawls together. Wouldn't a pub crawl with them and a great grandson be something else huh?

I usually use MS Word to print my decals after image games with Paint Shop Pro and I have just tested a line of images in a header using this image I dont think my printer will give a decent image on clear paper* so I put a black background on it to be able to use decals from a white paper. I added a grey outline to allow for differentiation of images. Do you want to give this a try with your ALPS printer? I can post you a strip of 3.5mm ones instead if you like but we know how effective first class mail is these days *I have lots of wasted clear background decals to thank for that lesson

Do you know how big the Ratier decals will need to be on the props Mike? Getting the image off line onto a Word doc was easy, but getting a reasonable size might be moderately more taxing. A simple measurement I can deal with, doing sums is not my skill-set. I did this for my Sherpa model years ago, good to know I can still 'get it' To get a printable version I had to lighten the goldy looking bits, so give me a dimension and I'll see what I can do, the file is in the PC now, ,hence available for useage.

Well we all know its difficult to get on the wrong side of Ysbyty Ystwyth, so if its all the same to your your generalship perhaps we should let her slide back into relative invisibility... But of course with the Melchett dynarsty relative invisibility is a terminological inexactitude since she herself was often seen wandering lonely as a flock of blooming sheepseses in the hills above Strata Florida. Any road up, nuff said.

But there are still hedgehogs, in spirit at last. No fun being The Dad PC as we almost all know to our sorrow. Keep doing what you are, you do not need us nagging at the moment. But of course we're still about if you need an unburden sesh.

I remember when it was all hedgehogs around here...

I dunno Pete, maybe not recommended by ALL doctors. Didn't Melchie have a rather disreputable specimen in his family cupboard? Finger, can't put mine on it and considering its one of Melchie's lot, probably best not.

Brilliant I calls it, love that fit of the new piece almost enough for paint to fill the gaps

Here is a possibility: Cheerfully lifted of my google search from, I believe Britannica Webcelluloid, the first synthetic plastic material, developed in the 1860s and 1870s from a homogeneous colloidal dispersion of nitrocellulose and … Seems likely even if as flammable as Baldrick's, well, anything. Let the madness continue.

I cant help you with the sartorial details Massimo for these beautiful Jaguars, blimey they are really lovely, but can I remind you of the two 'sabrina' bulges at the rear of the cannon bays that was mentioned earlier. Here is a reminder shot that Julien put in my post about them. This is the gun-less port from the T4 which still has the bulges even when it has no gun in there. Here in the middle of the shot, small but perfectly formed and impossible for me to ignore since I had them pointed out to me during my triple build. No need to thank me, now you have been Jag nagged too amigo. Sorry (A bit sorry, but...)

Much as I tried, yes I did try, neither can I Doesn't it! Timmy's Jag went beyond the pale, wow etc.

A point I would take, an avenue I was exploring over the weekend Pondering begins...

I persoom the effalump's foot effect is not a characteristic of a supported workpiece? (Things I learn, unlikely to appear on a model of mine any time. Wow.)

R. Malcolm? The famous canopy adapters? Must admit that is a part of aeronautic history which has passed me by. That test of a Malcolm seat was two years and a day before I was offloaded into this confusing world. Confused? I do be... Loving the lovely plug Steve, wow time already.

In my capacity as Annoyance Incorporated that offer of Mike's might make it a good idea to replace the link here With a modified piece so, in white metal Apologies for annoyingly unsusphistickated drawring based on your exquisite renderings Tony, but really only trying to help a tad.

Probably, possibly going to hang around for this one Steve, when's your next holiday booked?* *Asking for various and countless friends of course...

I admit that I too am at a loss when it comes to the need for that stuff to actually operate. This is certain to become an iconic replica of the dear little Wopsie but it seems to me (hendie too it seems) that you are attempting to turn out a toy which can be played with by the onlookers. I am in the 'a version of each configuration' corner my self and think you might be better occupied considering whether to include 'Forth Road Bridge' clamps already fitted to the folded blade configuration blades. Just a thought...

Re-iterating the above, confused by reference to a volume referred to 'though. I have never read said volume but did attend school that day. Always appreciate a timely, spatially applied comma Steve. Ced I love this B-17 thingy, but you still ain't getting me up on one!

Surely everybody will have an unfinished Sea Fury in their vicinity, only Alain would have more than the FAA had in service awaiting..things done to them. I am going to be at the back rummaging inside that interesting looking black bin bag. Topic I know nothing about so I may be fairly quiet... Maybe

Tiled? You tiled the ceiling? A good job the power unit is so, er, wotsit, thingy, ... there on the front eventually. Loving the upright, takes me back to the old folks at home, does that. (Candle holders, will there be candle holders?) Is anyone else concerned with the pipe run for the outside toilet?

Crystal clear, thanks Steve. Standing by.
