Col. Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The only place that comes to my mind when the words 'drinking' and 'Lossiemouth' are mentioned in close order is Joanna's in Elgin and the less said about that the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Please be gentle with me g-usa this phone keyboard is quite hard work. I think I am doing quite well considering.

Ah Joanna's - the start of the downfall of Elgin! OOps - I just remembered the White Horse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sorry, it was just too good and too easy to not take a jab. I am a weak individual. And hey, how 'bout them seats. (Love the mods!!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 You are of course forgiven. Against Duncan B I hold permanent and irresolvable grudges though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 oh right... yeah.... helicopter.... the build is looking good Nigel. How soon do you think before the gubbins is all closed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 You are of course forgiven. Against Duncan B I hold permanent and irresolvable grudges though. So I guess I'm too late to ask for close up photos of the instrument panels in the Tornadoes then? DB Edit: yes, nice helicopter, when can we expect to see it painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) That's more like it. A sensible request, I will try my best for you. Painting should be next weekend. Close up - who knows. Edited February 10, 2014 by Nigel Heath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sea salt? Riyadh? Hello? I'll set off now, But can't promise when I'll be back. Nice ribs BTW. MmmmmmRibs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hello folks I am now back from Lossiemouth. My camera memory card is now stuffed with Tornado pictures, including instrument panels and cockpit photos!! Not a sniff of a Sea King though which saddens me greatly.

Vanja #66 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 How about a "The Best Of" compilation of photos? You'll know better than me where they should be placed on this forum, still a lot of uncharted side allies for me (this place is huuuuuuge)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Do you mean a compilation of photos from my trip? If so a modest selection will appear on My Lossimouth visit thread shortly. The walkaround photos of the Tornados (and an old Buccaneer) should appear in the Walkarounds section in the next few days. I am sending them directly to Julien, not putting them on Photobucket as there are hundreds. Yes, this place is rather big, its a wonder there isn't an echo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My camera memory card is now stuffed with Tornado pictures, including instrument panels and cockpit photos!! Not a sniff of a Sea King though which saddens me greatly. The clue to the topic of the visit was provided by the group name, "Tornado SIG". I'm just jealous, ignore me (as usual). Now get back to work on that helicopter, it'll soon be Telford time again and it'll still not be done. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Banana Build - Day 77 Duncan, this will be entered in the Perth show (April), you can be sure of this. You are right though, I was sold the lie of Sea Kings and had to make do with second best Tornados. Actually I came to think it was a very beautiful aircraft. There were lots of tiddly bits and I like that. So far I have only one humble photo to post tonight. I have been working on this all evening: I think I will get some more rib detailing done. So bye just for now, Nigel Edited February 10, 2014 by Nigel Heath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Duncan, that is 76 days away. The semi gloss varnish on the overall scheme will just be hardening up by then. See you there, Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Mega LOLs. I did get a little more done: I hope you like it. Good night from Nigel 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Gasp!!!! I think that within the next ten pages you may actually close up the fuselage halves. Could paint be next??? Seriously, though, excellant detail work on the interior ribbing and installation of the Eduard ribs. Your patience and meticulous work is well rewarded with this outstanding detail. I am impressed. Look forward to the next update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Banana Build - Day 78 Tonight I got the remainder of the ribbing finished: I then added a PE strip from the Extratech Structure Elements set: I should be able to get some more done tonight. Stay posted. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Coming along marvellously Nigel. Ignore all those comments about how long it's taking, you're working at warp factor 9 compared to the speed my builds are currently moving along at....!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Warp factor 9, I like that. Pete and Duncan please take note. I then got the wiring installed: There is not too much to do on this side now. We are getting dangerously close to primer application!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
