Not to worry if we do as some of us have the Baron's thread to look after. Overworked of Mars And of course, you're invited to the party! TonyT has supplied a bbq/beer cooler/bog, and we have a band too! Should be fun! Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 he ha you really think the stash is kept near here? You really think there is a stash? ebay is my stash.... except for a few over there in the cupb.... In all the excitement of preparing for Coventry I did a bit more on the Bucc Added the blown air ducts both sides and tried out a couple of new (to me) Vallejo paints, Burnt Iron and Natural Steel - nice Here's the starboard side ducting before the intake area and inner wing is fitted, for clear bit of 30 amp fusewire with a sliver of small Aeroclub tubing as the connector With the engine arrangement sorted to my satisfaction its time to attend to the fuselage interiors Thanks to the efforts of General Melchett (ta Andy) I have ebough info to make the nosewheel bay Here's the roof being fettled and the recess getting marked to suit and the box fitted for size preliminary holes for the ends, need shifting across a tad of course but the two drilled openings were easy to make into the regular oval shape Now we have a box I'm beginning the cockpit fettling held down by a piece of plasticene for now whilst I work out side walls and floor angles Ced if it helps I have been told the Coventry Air Museum are having an open cockpit day on Sunday... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) I think the drill came with a flat-pack unit a few years ago I kinda like it myself, been dreaming of finding them in various sizes They are not flimsy fragile things like the Chinese Archimedean threaded snappable ones in the sets from abroad 😈 Edited June 24, 2017 by perdu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better still; we can paint it red, with a US President badge on the door, so that it looks like the President's Air Force One escape module in the film Escape From New York. Then we can hold Bill for ransom, tie him up to a chair and put a blonde wig on his head while we mock him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the disguise is at all convincing, we have to find someone prepared to pay the ransom in the first place and there, I fear, we may be wandering into the realms of fantasy.

TonyTiger66 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Nice scratch building work on the wheel well and cockpit area. . I agree with Hendie, iit really is a very 70's blue ! Those little drills are also included in some ink jet printer refill kits. They're great little tools, I always save them too .

Wait a minute, Martian. Donnie Trump claimed many times that he's not donning a wig; the dead albino cat fur he's got on his roof is all his. Besides, I never mentioned Bill would have a Trump-style blonde wig. I'd thought more of a larger, Lady Gaga-style of a blonde wig. Sweet! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) As often as I try, I just cannot GET the Lady Gaga look, so I am not trying again As I said, no more blonde wigs I'll just stay blond and handsome, my handsome. I had great pleasure yesterday in Coventry at the museum Not only a rare chance to mingle with the General ( Darling kept well away after the last time!) but I had the pleasure of a long natter with our own recent retiree Ced B and his lovely sister and that bloke with her. 😉 Warwickshire IPMS put on a rather fine show with some decent real aeroplanes scattered all around too Fine day out, but the rain taught me I need to wash the Le Mans dust off it so our good English dust can get a foothold Great to see you again Ced and Andy, see you soon Edited June 26, 2017 by perdu 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be the whirlwind style of hairdo. 4 hours ago, perdu said: As often as I try, I just cannot GET the Lady Gaga look, so I am not trying again That's fine with me, Bill.
