26th...!?!

Does that mean " Nil by Mouth " on Christmas Day??

This looks like bad timing to me, CC....

Any way, good luck with the replacement parts 

Yes, that was my first thought also. So it must be serious as a german hospital wouldn't try to exchange that on christmas, if not neccessary. (I'm not sure about that in Belgium, but it should be the same) So, otherwise at the 26th and everything after; I guess, which is also a bad time to stay there for new years eve. I hope everything will be well for CC with the new one, when it was really neccessary! Only he and his Doc knows it and that is good for him!

(in generell you sadly always have to check,  if a hospital try to  fill it for its economical purpurses)

Sorry CC

Hello Dears,

Wow, the end of 2018 will be pretty shaky for me....

I will have a surgery, replacement of my port hip !

Wish me good luck on the 26th of December !!

Hallo CC, ich schreibe Dir das hier so. Ich hoffe, dass das mit Deiner linken Hüfte klappt. Soweit ich es verstanden habe, ab dem 26.12. im Krankenhaus? Aber die Operationen werden dann erst nach Weihnachten vorgenommen. Oder ist sie so ernsthaft kaputt, dass sie schon am 26.12. operiert werden muss und nicht erst danach? Hoffe nicht. Viel Glück. Benedikt

Yup, I never would have believed that one day, I'll pray for a surgery !

That's the only slot in the doctor's agenda before March, Can't wait because of the heavy pain !

For me, it's not a problem... I just hope that the toe cutter will be sober on the 25th ....:rofl2:

Thanks for the kind words !

 

Thanks for the pics Benedikt !

Sincerely.

The hip problem is lasting for 12 years now..

I had an accident at work, the first doctor missed completely his diagnostic...

Then, I get to another doc who already decided to change my hip but there has been a load of problem since the insurance refused the surgery

Arguing that this is not caused by the accident !!! And sincerely, at the time I had a bad feeling about it !

Then I found a good chiropractor who repaced the hip and the vertebraes… But when i fell, I broked the (What's the English name for it ??) Jelly part that stand in between the bones, Cartillages in french.

So I knew for sure that the surgery was lying ahead… And now since last june…

even my good old Faithfull chiropractor can't do Nothing for me.

And the 26th there was a guy that has postponed his surgery so I jump (not so in fact since I no longer can jump) in the freed slot 

Thank you for the support !

Sincerely.

CC

Danke, gern geschehen. In Germany it is der Knorpel in der Gelenkapsel. Ouch. That must be a real pain as the two bones scrub on each other like a ball bering without grease. And they are getting worn out much faster and also heavier. That's no picnic indeed. Sorry to hear also about the trouble with your insurance. But why I'm not surprised about  that. Mostly they do, when it becomes expensive for them. Every insurance does so. Bad luck with your fall at all. So Ihope you will get a good recovery without complications on christmas. Yep and also neccessary then.  Good luck.

Cheers Benedikt

Hello Dears,

Hey tomorrow, I go to rent my next vehicle…. 2 crutches !!

But that did'nt deter me from my kits, in fact modelling is helpfull in this case !

I worked on the SHAR internals

WP_20181218_00_10_30_Pro

I would'nt have let that awful seam on the headrest ! Seriously ??

And started painting

WP_20181217_23_34_04_Pro

The instruction sheet say that the first stage of the compressor must be painted kakhi green ????

Never saw a painted compressor at all, so, I'll paid a look on my pics and on the Walkaround area !!

Sooo guys ! Have a great modelling time even when one is buzy for Christmas !! Ho ho Hooo !

Sincerely.

CC

Thank Benedikt, So this beer still exist !! :evil_laugh:

surgery has gone well, once they finally get me asleep !!! :frantic: As usual, the dose of anaesthetics are not sufficient !!

I told them but they did'nt listen...

I only have a mere 10cm scar… Incredible, they did'nt cut any muscle !

I walked almost 6 hrs after the surgery, now I must be carefull and use crutches !!

The treatment is still on, they must be sure that I will not reject the titanium and ceramics of the prothesis !!

I will not reject any titanium since I'm a great fan of the SR-71 !!

WP_20181229_22_29_07_Pro

I start pmlaying with Eduard Zoom !!

And now opening of the air intakes all around the beast !!

WP_20181229_22_17_21_Pro

Have a great and happy new year !!

Full of good models and anything one can desire !!

Sincerely.

Hi CC I hope you're continuing to make good progress, I had a knee replacement last February and the progress was not as fast as I had hoped so don't be disappointed if you can't leap tall building yet. Take your time and remember to do the exercises every day..

 

I wish you a healthy end peaceful New Year.

This is good news CC!

Congratulations on your refit.

Now you'll be setting off metal detectors along the way

Hello Rob !

Absolutely, I received a certificate with a complete description in this purpose !!

The shape of the prothesis can be seen as a kind of gun !!! Really it has already happened in the U.S

In the other hand, who will be surprised that this happened in the U.S customs ?? :rofl2:

Hello John,

Yup, the surgeon said the same, hip recovery is faster than knee recovery !!

He told me that I MUST be carefull for a good 50 days, because the stingy part that has been inserted in the femur will not move at all.

Then I will make some bone around the prothesis and it will not move again. Unless I give up this idea of parachute drop !!

I will buy kit instead of jumping out of a flying aircraft…..

 

The sad and painfull part of this surgery is that the whole leg has doubled in volume….

There are blood everywhere and that must disappear from itself

But these compressive stockings are awfull and disturbing… Make me feel like Something in between an old Fanny and a turkey roast… :tumble:

Thanks for the kind words

More Harrier story to come of course !!

Sincerely.

Ah yes, the compression stockings. I had to wear mine for 30 days and couldn't wait to get rid of them At least it's winter now, it must be even more uncomfortable wearing them in summer.

Looking forward to more Harriering.

 

Best wishes.

Hello Dears !

Hot gas exhaust opened !

WP_20190106_22_03_26_Pro

Fuel tanks are now done sanded and graved !!

WP_20190106_22_03_46_Pro

Hum !! I think that it look like a SHAR !!

WP_20190106_22_03_06_Pro

Some other bits done here !

WP_20190106_22_18_42_Pro

I use the PE for the Dashboard, not on the console, since it is too flat !

Okay !! More to come soon ! Have a great modelling time !!

Hello Dears,

Here's the compressor fan but I'm not really satisfied...

What do you think about ??

WP_20190113_23_38_11_Pro

And for some schoolwork of my daughter, I take an old pic of my Grand'Pa'

WP_20190113_21_43_45_Pro

Belgian infantry… And a very serious if not frightening elder….

Have a great modelling time !!

Hello Dears,

Woow ! Almost 10 months without touching the Shar... Strange it is !!

Now, I spent a lot of time in our Rocs over Telford game !!

Now, I've got 2 years to prepare the next Lunacy... Triebflugels for Telford '21...

I'll try to procrastinate a bit less ..:rofl2::rofl2:

Since finishing The Roc in hotel's bathroom was not too comfortable for me....

Well That's said Now...

Decision made, I'll reproduce this one !!

 

IMG_20191125_231304

I really love this dashboard... Glasses are done for the clocks...

IMG_20191125_231201

I opened the vent and PE is in place..

IMG_20191125_231102

More to come soon, I mean not in another ten months...

Thank for your support !

Sincerely.

:analintruder: My sheila has stated: "CC's grandpa might as well have passed as Robbie Williams had he lived nowadays..." :rolleyes:

D'ya want me to spank her, my mate?

As for the look of "they're" compressor fans on the Kinetic kit, I've scored each blade on its leading edge with those wonderful GSI Creos 0.10mm chisel blades in order to separate 'em from the leading edge of the following blade. Then I filed down the width of each blade so that there's light between each blade, for which I needed to devise a 0.5mm sanding stick.

Be careful with the ring braces on the fan.

Cheers,

Always good to see a SHAR getting some attention :D 

I love this kit, I take it from time to time... 'til I got the point where it's almost complete...

Then it's the start of some frenzy... 

 

Well Gents,

I toyed yesterday to have this :swear: PE part right at its place...

 

IMG_20200321_230240

I did'nt like thes flat PE throttles, so I make mine...

IMG_20200322_001015

I also worked on my Hellcats...

Since it's already spring and I did'nt score any RFI for 2020

Still, I also worked on the Skyknight and the Thunderstreak !!

I really hope that everythings went well for you all !!

Sincerely.
