Stew Dapple Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Oh yes that's looking very nice indeed PC What's with the gobstopper though, was that to divert my attention? Because it didn't work Cheers, Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 You guys call peppermints gobstoppers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ah, no, I didn't realise it was a mint, mints are generally plain white in the UK... don't you have gobstoppers in the US? Actually since you don't have gobs, then you probably don't have gobstoppers and you are probably not as gobsmacked as I was to realise that Cheers, Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Well, we have these, made about 30 miles from my home: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everlasting_Gobstopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ah, intriguing... but you don't refer to your mouth as your 'gob' in the US, do you? I can't say I have ever heard it so described in film, television or literature from the USA... While we are here, how much left to do on the Newp? I can see the prop needs attaching and I presume some measure of rigging for the undercarriage, anything else? Cheers, Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 I attached the prop a little while ago, messing up much of the still wet oil paint woodgrain. All that remains is to paint the tires and to paint and add the gun. As far as I can tell, the undercarriage is unrigged. Then, good riddance! I believe "yap" is generally used in lieu of gob, but I don't think many people would fail to understand "gob" if used. OTOH, my wife cannot understand a word anyone in Life on Mars says, so perhaps I'm an outlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procopius Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Gosh, thanks, Stew! It's not quite to your very excellent standard, but biplanes are small and fragile, so I can keep people from getting too close to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Nice collection PC - excellent work. They don't look nearly so small next to each other as they do next to the Phantom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 It's all in who you stand next to. I have a fatter younger brother, and as long as I stand by him at family reunions, I always get asked if I've lost weight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
