hendie Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 lovely job on the MRGB Bill. I'm just catching up after a few days away and it's always nice to see a perdu post or two awaiting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 I hope it's all worth it, but it's only a game anyway isn't it? I'm about to build up the framework next and luckily a purchase I made earlier this week dropped through the letter box I like those little machine drills with the Archimedial twist but they are intrinsically very weak so the thinner ones usually die in no time, flat Looking into the 'bay' ready to buyer placements for all my broken ones I came across these Since I and probably the rest of us has a large number of the wider ones but few littler ones I was chuffed (extremely pleased Giorgio) to see I could simply buy a bunch of only one sizes to save having lots of un-needed big ones lying around My 0.03mm drill set Who needs big unuseableones huh? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-FAAWAFU Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 At least a picture (of the drills - you can never have too many teeny drills) that I can see! Or am I the only one for whom most of Bill’s recent pictures show up as the Postimage equivalent of the Microsoft Blue Screen of Death? For the record, not even I would add rivets in 1/72... [Apologies for prolonged absence of late; I have been very busy at work, but have also suffered a serious Mojo Failure for some reason - I just cannot get myself going on (of all things) my Lynx build. There are stirrings of a cunning plan to get me going again, but it will probably be away from the Lynx-fest. Watch this space. Well, not this one as in Bill’s wobblecopter thread, but the general BM area!] 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 I hope that issue has now been dealt with Working with my tablet screen this morning, dealing with the drills as it happens meant I clumsily offered Postimage the opportunity to delete an entire gallery And before I could play catchup/stop it did just that This was in a different Gallery And I will be far more careful forever more Crisp we had got the general drift of your mojo depletion, it allus comes back tha' knows I am happy to wait Maybe we can collaborrate on a Lynx with BERPs on it Me in little , you in ginormous Tek tha time! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Braced for action There is a complex set of levers and braces, brackets and tubes around here I am sticking with this The Airwaves set has a set of swash plate pieces that will sit tidily over the top of these I cannot see any sense trying to replicate this In here laters chaps, off to early dinner I am told 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Superb catch-up Bill. Can't for the life of me work out why this particular aircraft seems so attractive but you are making it even more attractiver attractivy I like it even more. 6 hours ago, perdu said: I could simply buy a bunch of only one sizes to save having lots of un-needed big ones lying around Seconded.

perdu Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Well Martian, if you say so... Anyway up... Remember this? I was a bit concerned because I seemed to have cut away too many millimotors of plastic just at the back of the miniturtle back just here So I took time out to plan and plot a new bit just for there bent a piece of 0.080" polycard into a curve then cut a slice out of it large enough to set into the gap And put it in the hole I left before This looks fine now so I can get on with fitting the new upperworks to the lower fuselage and begin adding the Airwaves etch to the engine grilles with Gator's Grip More later 'Night all 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 NOTES TO SELF DO NOT PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE ATTENTION SEEKING VOLUNTEER 'SUGGESTERS', THERE IS A RISK THAT THEY ARE ONLY DOING IT TO ADD CONFUSION This was not expected to happen but as I looked at the photo on screen something occurred I picked up the model intending to do no mo' than fix the gaps between the halves, as you do, when the flat uninteresting and totally wrong for any version of H-19, S55 or Whirlwind said to me "CUT ME" Out came the Minidrill and bits and off came the bottom front of the engine cover There is a semicircular cover around the P&W inside there, so not an awful lot of stuff to add and this is intended to be rudimentary visuals only Tidying the hole ensues... As does removing the lozenge shaped other part of the hole, looks as if there is a heat exchanging dooberrie inside that Some bracing and framework too nae doot Elusive searching has begun Yes I did cut it out before extensive research so I cannot ONLY blame you lot for egging me on dammit, must be my fault after all ciao 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Ah yes Terry, that would be this one Finished a while back and now the 'property' of the Army Aviation(?)SIG and displayed by them at Telford last year along with the Scout I also donated This did not have any Airwaves stuff aboard except the rear bulkhead Both were old builds in here, beggared if I know how to find links for 'em sorry but there are better pictures than these taken when I was trying to work out ways to transport them... As for the H-19, if further proof of my lunacy was required I suggest I just provided it Must_be_mad.com wibble 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Nice Auster and very nice Scout indeed. AS11's too. Must get to doing a Scout and a Wasp myself one day soon but have been patiently waiting for first the much talked about Freightdog Wasp in 1/72 (I have seen the masters), and then the even more anticipated S&M Scout and Wasp both in 1/72 and Wasp in 1/48 and Scout in 1/35 ................ but its all gone quiet again ........🙄 You are not mad Bill, just devastatingly keen!

perdu Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Yes Terry I saw and was allowed to handle the masters but the production of clear resin glazing's difficulties seems to have killed a very promising project I am not sure whether the S&M ones are basically the Freightdog ones restarted I got pee'd off waiting so I made my own If you want a Nimbus or two let me know, I might find a casting or three Or four, I do not expect to make another now in 72th scale After I made the Scout I had a break then decided to make the Wopse, when I did that I made castings of the primary bits, jet pipes and compressor stages in case... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
