Great to see you back, rumours of your planet falling off its axis and flying out of the Solar System obviously very much unfounded! Thanks Chally, the jig I made for the ribs made the bomb bay surprisingly stress free. Martian 👽 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 It is fortunate (for us) that the Coronavirus induced plastic strip panic buying didnt get to gentle Dorsetshire. The cockpit is suitably artistic but the bomb bay takes accolades in multiples. Lovely work old chum. Sorry your dispooter let you down, another hint to get a cleverer phone maybe? Just saying. If I am away from my dispooter, or it breaks it is "all ahead number one" using the blower for pics, text and chatter, normal service doesnt need renewing at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) @Martian We did miss your presence, but having @general melchett as your mouthpiece at least let us know what was going on. I’ve never liked Dells. My last Employer used them and I had four or five over the time I was there everyone had something wrong, the best being my third laptop which could be rebooted by squeezing the casing together in a particular spot. That said I used to work for a different PC manufacturer ( but not in the PC division) and had many PCs if theirs both in work and at home with no issues. When my Daughter started college I persuaded her to go for they brand, the first of which lasted 6 months and the second of which lasted 13 months. To cut what looks like a long and rambling story short laptop #3 was a Lenovo and it’s going strong a year and a half later.

Sadly, it did. I stocked up mahoosively before the lockdown started. An I phone is an idea but unfortunately I would be away from BM for a couple of decades trying to learn how to use the thing. Mrs Martian won't even let me near hers anymore. Glad you like my humble efforts though. Martian 👽 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly shan't be buying from Dell again or from Curry's/PC World whose customer service was also non-existent. Next time I will be getting an Apple Mac. They are more expensive but seem to last a lot longer. A friend of mine has had hers for nearly fifteen years and my computer engineer's is so old he can no longer get support for it.

CC More pictures will be on the way soon CC as I have started on the bomb bay for the B(I) 8/12 and will be carrying on with the bay on the T4. Actually what I have decided to do is to use the best of the bays on the T4 as the one I use on the B(I) 8/12 kit will be obscured in part by the bombs and racks. In other news I have ordered the raspberry ripple edition of this lit and a load of bits to make the Llanbedr target tug. I shan't be starting that one for a bit though as I will be keeping it for a thread dedicated to RAE operations at that base.

Sincerely CC No you did not hear me saying anything about a Target Towing SIG you evil creature! I was the IPMS UK Fleet Air Arm SIG leader for just under nine years and the amount of work and time involved was monstrous. I did seriously consider setting up a TT SIG recently but concluded that the only way I could find the time to do so would be to give up my duties with the Maritime Volunteer Service and maybe some of my modelling activities as well and that is not going to happen any time soon. However, should you or anyone else want to set up such a SIG, I would more than happily join it and share any knowledge I have on the subject. I understand that there are precedents for overseas members setting up SIGs. Thanks for the great Canberra TT18 picture BTW. Martian 👽 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
