[ColinChipmunkfan]

Hi Ced, really enjoying the thread, Nimrod is coming together well,  mmmm sausages, could you use the spare acetate for windows?

[Head in the clouds.]

Brown sauce anyone?

Can you also see how perspective is so important?

 

Exactly...

 

 

...and you can use that to your advantage when you're done do take the photos from the angle that shows them in their best light.

There is NO doubt you will overcome this minor set back and provide an outstanding result on these intakes as well as the rest airframe!

Thanks for the confidence Roger

You can see from those shots what Jamie was explaining, the biggest disparity is behind the lower edge of the intake inside the trunking

 

Although it seems the upper bulges are wrong in fact there is not really much to do 'up there'

 

A very thin wettish layer of Dol Magic will meld into a fine light thickishness, soon sanded tidy 

Thanks Bill - it shall be done, soon

Looks like you are gonna have fun with the intakes. Milliput and flies at the ready with Mr Surfacer 500. A few hours of sweat and swearing and you will be good haha

Thanks Rob

[clip meatloaf]

 

oops, not those ones...

 

these ones....

 

[clip sausages]

 

formed around the inside of the intakes, and blended with the forward edge - THEN begin working on the inside shape

Thanks hendie  Meatloaf? I would do anything for… sausages, but I won't do that 🎶

Aha, thanks Matt   Are you suggesting I take photos that hide any faults? As if…

 

Little done as Mrs B has been clearing out the top floor. I did find this though:

 

 

…which I'll have some fun with - Big Big Fun!

 

I have stuck in the kit landing light parts with lots of TET and sanded them to shape:

 

 

In preparation for the new landing lights. I have a plan…

Thanks hendie  Meatloaf? I would do anything for… sausages, but I won't do that 🎶

 

meatloaf?

 

meat... LOAF??

 

M@#&##@F ??

 

meatloaf you said, right?   meatloaf...

 

MEATLOAF ???????????

 

 

you uncultured barbarian you !!!!  Them's not meatloaf!!!  Them's SAUSAGES!       SAUSAGES !

 

(Note: the full compliment of eggs and tattie scones has been omitted for clarity)

 

SAUSAGES I tell you!   Real sausages.   Known in the homeland as Square sausage. (or Lorne sausage)  A key ingredient in a roll an' sausage,  (not to be confused with a sausage roll - that's a completely different animal (unless you make it with square sausage of course.... but that would still be a sausage roll - just a very good one!)

 

I offer to evidence m'lud.... a roll an' sausage

 

 

 

or the venerable piece an' sausage. ( for authenticity - with a piece made from a Pan Loaf)

 

 

 

Does any other nation produce a sausage that actually fits their slice of bread sir?  Do they sir? No sir!      No, they do not. 

That's how canny the Scots are y'know.  Pneumatic Tires, Tarmac, Telephones, Television, Radar, Dolly the sheep, and a sausage that fits ona piece.  What a nation (just don't mention sports)

 

(We tried it with eggs too, but the hens complained too much and the cost of germoline for the hens made the cost prohibitive)

 

 

It's a sausage!

 

No, wait...

 

it's not just a sausage...

 

It's the King of sausages.  The sausage all other sausages aspire to .  The only thing better than a square sausage is square sausage with brown sauce on it.  And the only thing better than that is a square sausage with brown sauce on it on a roll.  With an egg... and a tattie scone

 

 

If you look closely you can even see that the Nimrod intakes were modeled on the square sausage  - okay they had to make a few adjustments but the basic square sausage shape is irrefutable

 

 

 

sounds like you need to go to Sausage Re-Education Classes m'boy!   Bad eyesight is just not an excuse here!

 

 

 

meatloaf....   huh!

The more I look at the pictures of the engine inlets the more complicated they look and how Airfix have struggled to capture them. Mindboggling!

There used to be a Scottish cafe near where I live; it was a sad day when it closed and re-opened as a French café because much as I like croissant, pain au chocolate and cafe au lait, Lorne sausage is a thing of which brings joy to an otherwise dull existence.

If I may interject hendie, the King of sausages is surely a Lincolnshire sausage made in the land of Yellowbellies, sorry, no pics, I have eaten them all this weekend.

 

As for the intakes, I am glad someone else thinks they are square, I didn't want to say ought for fear of getting egg on my face ( darn food thread again)

if you've only ever eaten groats or gruel, you'd be forgiven for not realizing what manna from heaven porridge is.     (just joshing.... honest!)

 

 

Kudos to you sir... you can at least recognize a sausage...   unlike some other of our brethren on these pages

 

 

[perdu]

B+++er the sausage, I hanker for the pan loaf and proper breakfast rolls

 

And just a wee bit salt in the porridge

 

Square sossij I can get but proper bread?

 

Just a weak similarity to the rolls at Asda

Haha, Ced: 1. I'm glad she! and you found it. 2. I'm glad it is/was still there. 3. I 'm glad she didn't say: "Ok, they are no little children anymore, so get rid of it". 4. I'm glad  to know, that she will not ask you : "Oh, what's going on/wong with my man? Has he gone crazy now?  I won't mind. He's a good one! "(in general ( as far as I know) )"

Maybe. Cheers

Hmmm, perhaps I should put it on the 'must try' list? Washed down with some Irn Bru do you think?

Ok, that is really great. Hahaha. Now I understand. Maybe some cooking things on delivery to her for german Plätzchen  for christmas? Who knows, but fun to look at that working well.. Cheers

Bit of a crisis here at the moment. Only a small one but irritating.

The bay at the front of the house has a roof that's serviced by its own drainage (the main roof gutter is above it).

The bay roof gutter drains through a hole in the lead into a little pipe.

The pipe gets blocked over the years and the gutter fills up.

Water leaks over the edge and comes in through the roof of the man cave.

I noticed because of the drips AND one of the Mosquitos flying out of formation.

 

I have a little pump that fits into a drill.

BOTH my batteries are flat - how did THAT happen?

 

So I tied a yoghurt pot to some string and went fishing, emptying the water into the main gutter.

Takes ages.

 

But not as long as uploading a video to YouTube and trying to find out where it went… 

[Matt_]

See, I forewarned this thread would turn into a sausage fest; and so it has come to fruition.

[Brandy]

Sausages...mmm, Lorne, Lancashire, Irish, Cumberland, anything except American!

But that might explain where the Yanks get the idea of sausage "patties", although what Patricia had to do with it I don't know.

[Biggles87]

You should try some of the french offal sausages ( and I don't mean awful, although they are ), I tried one at  BBQ once and one mouthful was enough.

I have been fishing also, to empty the downstairs loo which has a leak, in preparation for the arrival of the plumber.

 

John 

[xffw45343tg]

Bad advice, @Biggles87. I tried the French offal sausages and can confirm that they are indeed awful. Shall we say I didn't hang on to the mouthful for long...

 

Just to stray back to the Nimrod briefly, what's the plan for the landing light Ced?

Andouillette... one of the worst things I've voluntary sat still for.

Indeed.

 

in this area the choice is hot Italian, sweet Italian, various insipid Bratwursts, and the American homegrown saturated with maple syrup or some other sugar like substance. 

Don't even get me started on what passes for bread around here... a marshmallow like substance saturated with high fructose corn syrup and with added sugar just in case your taste buds weren't already overdosed on the sugar that's in everything else.  

 

in the interest of full disclosure I have to say that you can't beat the seafood and meats though

Ok sausages, I'm in for Brat and Currywurst. This one is of the Currycult, Münster 400m away from me now:

There is a Nimrod around here somewhere  and a bloke embraced in a battle royale with it, any one seen either of them?
