perdu Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I am sure we can get discounted prices from my local ABK dealer if the chaps in Lincolnshire cannot arrange for enough pilsner to float the boat Martian And there will be plenty of organic tasting 'real' ale too although my preference is for real beer that simply tastes of beer I could drink Brew 11 all night and oftentimes did Never needed tastes of hops and nettles and other vegetable matter in a pint back in my day 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Glad to see you haven't fallen asleep on this build Martin, despite the lack of real ale... Man cannot live on beer alone, there has to be real ale... Colin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good thing that I have been prodded on this one as it really does need to be finished to go alongside the SH-34 and I want to do a few more KD aircraft. Unfinished, the Tracker is taking up an insane amount of room on my bench, finished it can be boxed up along with the SH_34 ready for shows.

Steve Coombs Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 3 hours ago, limeypilot said: Pint of Shephard Neame's Spitfire would go down rather well right now! Ian A nice bottle of Shepherd Neame Spitfire Ale was part of the basket of goodies my team won in a pub quiz at work the other week (canteen decked out like a pub, complete with a selection of beers on tap and nibbles on pub cards). In Germany. I took possession of the bottle lest anyone be offended (consider Basil Fawlty's "Whatever you do, ..."), and disposed of the contents in an appropriate manner. That's my excuse, anyway. A German colleague is now hooked on Tunnock's milk chocolate caramel wafers after claiming some from the victors' stash. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Quote Worried of Mars And so you should be...Big Push, Final Push, Big, Final Push...it's all the same to me in that it involves a great deal of violence and near-fatal abuse of the King's Carrier Pigeons, so be warned, real ale or no...once you've returned to civilization from the boonies you really must get this here Martian Tracker wrapped up. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 The last couple of days have seen the main interior colour applied and the highlighting of the structure begun. The port engine bearers have been sprayed Interior Green. The highlighting of the interior is quite a laborious process but I will endeavour to keep you all posted as it progresses. At least stuff has started happening again on the project and I can feel my mojo for it returning. Thanks for looking Martian 👽 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Those last three photos. Consider me smacked of gob at most at just how good those combinations of structure and colour now look Martian. Well worth waiting for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
