xffw45343tg Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Ah.We've slipped deftly out from between the double entendres and on to music I see. My favourite version of White Room is the Hugh Cornwall / Robert Williams rendition on Nosferatu. Didn't realise it was a cover until years later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm becoming obsessed. Uh-huh... Matt, you'd get total psycho if you ever came down here to taste our grilled chorizos And that's not to speak about trying our grilled bife de chorizo And what to say about the delicious grilled bife de lomo Just one bit and you'd be around the bend, I think...

Matt_ Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Well well. Will you take a look at that. We finally get back to modelling, and it's a triumph. I think it's captured the lines on the original pretty well. But enough about the Enterprise, your intakes also look OK, Ced. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Interesting thread. Looks like the sausage trick worked though would that make the Nimrod a 'banger'? Definitely a good 'mash' up of everyone's suggestions but lets not get 'mushy' over all that, minding our 'peas' and Qs. Looks like the 'gravy' for sure. For some reason I am craving lunch down the pub. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I was sort of worried about that "What's afoot" does mitigate my worries a tad, I did have in mind that at the top of a leg can be found a rump At the bottom maybe a pump (other unassorted footwear is available) and as we know rudeness is to be discouraged What a mod might make of rumpy... Shudders to think, I do Anyroadup smooth away Sir Ced, smooth away 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that it's the primary datum reference unit for the Nimrod design that arose from ASR381 - although on reflection it is more likely that this is inches. Even though decimalisation day happened on 15 Feb 1971, and the 1st Nimrod entered service in 1969 the chances of even the latest incarnation (the MRA4, commissioned in 1988) being specified in mm seems pretty slim to me. So, to answer Bill's question of why we need a leg end, I would say quite simply: "It's a convenient multiple of the standard units used to provide some level of component interchangeability of parts on the aircraft on which this model is based." Obviously. *Thanks to Wikipedia for the spurious facts supporting this spontaneous brain-fart. Edited December 7, 2018 by Kirk 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you intend to paint the insides? I did hear of a technique of pouring white emulsion in and swirling it around. Of course that doesn’t address the issue of the fan blades at the far end!

Matt_ Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Just my opinion, but I think the real things look a bit more like they have a squared-off lip at the front than they actually do due to the way the shadow falls. It looks like yours may be trying to mimic that phantom profile. Like the bottom lip goes up, then rolls off flatter. Does that make sense? Hard to tell from just the front-on photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
