The hair on her tail has now grown back so long you can't see any difference! K 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Glad to hear that Molly is doing well Ced. As Perdu said, give her a tickle from us. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Thanks John - no need to apologise, avatars are tiny Thanks Keith and Simon - Mols seems to know that lying around doing nothing is the required treatment. Some stretching this morning in her usual 'downward facing dog' hopefully shows she's recovering. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Good to hear Molly is on the mend. I am tending my daughter's pound puppy and he is keeping things interesting (the carpet doesn't agree). Spit is coming along nicely as always. I love how you deal with these "fun" kits. Also love the "crew". Hadn't planned on building any of my "I flew on this" planes in flight but might just have to give it a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 My thoughts are with you, its agonising when a pet is ill. Martian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks Phil - good luck with the puppy, they're hard work IMHO but worth the trouble! Thanks Martian, very kind. Mols is getting better every day, thank goodness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Oh hell. Sorry to hear about Molly and glad she’s getting better. Time seems to be flying, it’s almost been a week since I popped in on yer spit. The masks have gone on well, I’m actually enjoying a Ced build that isn’t over in a matter of days. Gives me chance to catch up. Take care chap. Johnny. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Thanks Johnny, very kind of you Molly's tail is up this morning and she's wagging bravely so well on the road to recovery - thanks to everyone for their kind comments and good wishes. Molly says 'Woof' 🐾 A bit more done on the Spit this morning. A bit of sihrsc action on the tips of the wings to get them square and then on with the tips: I managed to achieve, for the first time, a feature that appears in the builds of modellers I admire - fingerprints in the TET: I had the same with the intake underneath. Focussing on positioning from the reference shots (the instructions specify 'somewhere underneath') I failed to spot the glue running onto my fingers: Another milestone achieved! I foresee some Micro-meshing in my future. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Glad to hear that Molly is returning to normal. I think you should just paint over the fingerprints and then sign them. John 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebedee said I had to (I think you might have guessed Zeb’s breed). Glad Molly is feeling better; the great thing about dogs when they are ill is that they don’t fake it, so if she is wagging her tail again, then she is fenuinely feeling a bit more herself. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Glad Molly is doing better Ced. Congrats on the fingerprints. I don't mean to brag, but I manage to do that all the time! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Just make sure that they don`t match any on police file Ced (finger prints , that is.) Great to hear that Molly is more perky, woof back. She will soon be ready for priming by the looks of here . We all await .... Simon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giemme Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Ced, I did put a like to your post for Molly recovering properly - not so much for fingerprints, but it had to happen sooner or later ... Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomoshenko Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Nice work Ced. Pass on some doggy regards woof woof to Molly. As for the fingerprints, top work chap, a badge of honour among modellers in my book, up there with duelling scars. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Regards to Molly from Tilly my terrier. She was ill last week, only £300 vets bill 😟 As for the gluey fingerprints, in my local model club that would call for “leaving the tent in the manner of Captain Oates!” Cheers Will 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Thanks everyone I think Mols is back to (almost) normal and she's off to the vet on Thursday to make sure. She seems to think she's OK... I tidied up the wings with a bit of sihrsc action today and glued the rudder on. Not worth a photo but some progress at least! Hopefully more tomorrow. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbudde Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Hello Ced, glad to hear she has recovered. Oh, let her think she's ok. So she will act (work) more and more till she's ok. Everyone of us knows, who have had a flu at a time. Cheers Edited December 6, 2017 by bbudde flu not flue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yes! Glad to hear Molly is up and at ‘em. Finger prints you say. Pah! Tis but a blemish, away with thee gluey vagabond. Where did I put that Flory sanding wand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 Thanks Benedikt - you're probably right that if she thinks she's OK then she probably is. Thanks Johnny - I'll probably be using Micro-mesh on the fingerprints. I do like the Flory sticks but I have, ahem, a stock of MM so I should not forget to use it! Some 'paint if black' action this morning: Paint it black by Ced Bufton, on Flickr Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black. I do like this stuff although, when hairy brushing, it does seem to prefer to be sloshed on and then left to level itself. Any attempt to go over it again before it's dry seems to pull off the first coat. 'Aha!' I thought, I could take advantage of that. Rather than dry-brushing the radiators with silver later, I thought I'd try brushing over the almost dry XF-1: Dry un-brushing by Ced Bufton, on Flickr Lazy, me? As if... I've also attached the canopies with Gator's Grip: Mainly to protect the figures during handling. Neither fits very well; I thought the back one was good before the interior paint was put on. Hmmm. The front one is suffering from me probably getting the seat too high but nothing a Berna can't resolve. I'll tidy up the glue with a damp cotton bud after it's had a bit of a chance to dry. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Shows how observant I am - I'd never noticed on the real thing just how different that rear canopy is to the front one! Glad Mols is on the mend, she'll soon be running you off your feet again! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The canopies fit just as well as mine did! There was an “air” of the front canopy being lopsided but it didn’t show too badly in the end. Probably the fact I discovered the gunsight about a week later whilst sorting the leftovers for the Spitfires spares box means I hope no one looks at H-99 too closely anyway. I was looking at some photos of real Tr9s and the front of the rear canopy is wider than the fuselage on the real thing, so a spot of filler to fair it on is prototypical! cheers Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 You think you have problems with finger prints, imagine having to model with set of tentacles! Great news about Molly. Martian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
