Marklo Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Omg that cockpit detail is looking amazing. 3 hours ago, Martian said: I didn't do it, I wasn't there! I get blamed for every strange occurrence around here. Well the perpetrator ( still don’t know if it’s alien or Human) has a sort of five bladed claw which it uses to shred internal organs. Seeing as how you’re all tentacles you’re probably off the hook. Edited January 16, 2021 by Marklo 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always know when your curry has been too hot when when A, You have to put the bog roll in the fridge and, even worse, B, When you are on the loo, you hear a slurping noise and discover your backside is having to have a drink. That will get me in the rattle for sure! Martian 👽 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 A day in the naughty crater on the dark side of the moon!

Thanks for looking Martian 👽 Mrs Martian must indeed be praised on her photography skills of course, which have enabled us to view your deft and somewhat awesome modelling skills (yet again). You certainly seem to be "back in the groove" as far as modelling skills my friend. And that is very heartening! Terry 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonH Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Delighted to see you back at the Cranberries, Sir Martian. Your skills are still there and veritably oozing from each of your tentacles (except for that one). I am distressed to hear everyones experience of spicy dishes. Really, if you need frozen bog roll you are doing it wrong. Mrs H has developed a keen interest in Spices recently and I have been very much enjoying the fruits of her labour. Not a piece of tissu de deriere has been used in anger. The next recipe (worryingly) is Llama curry. Not sure where we will get the curry powder from but I have a good lead on a Llama.... On the topic of real space, dear Martian, can you scratch build a replica of your current craft so we can all see what to look for in the night sky? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 I decided to get stuck into the undercarriage today and had anticipated making significant progress, right up to the point that I discovered that the axle for the nose undercarriage was short shot. Following a few well chosen Martian expletives, the rest of the axle was removed and drilled through to accept a length of Albion Alloys brass tubing. When this was set, I glued a larger diameter piece of tubing over the rod on either side of the leg. I am a tad unsure as to how strong the Airfix nose wheel leg is and I might cut it off a suspected weak point and solder a lower section. I have to practise my soldering for the Graf Zeppelin kit Mrs Martian got me for Christmas anyway. I shall sleep on it. I also began tarting up the leg assembly in general. I decided to take a look at the fit of the engine intakes as well. these are quite a tight fit but even when fettled to fit, it is clear that some filler action looms in my not too distant future. Thanks for looking. Martian 👽 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonH Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Martian, I admire your tenacity and tentacular dexterity. In comparison, my reaction to short shot gear is to build the plane wheels up. Then find the gear doors don't fit. Then retire to a darkened corner to listen to some soothing music while the kit flies gently onto the SOD. In comparison, you have produced a masterpiece. But to be fair, you have more tentacles than me. Happy New Year! Don 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 I carried on with the main undercarriage legs today and added cable clips to the legs and when set, I carefully threaded some Little Cars detailing wire through them to represent the brake lines. I shall begin adding wiring looms to the bay next. Thanks for looking. Martian 👽 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 I will be posting some more on this as soon as I can. What I mean is, as soon as a certain plonker of this parish, remembers where he put the Line Guides book and the copies from the manual that he carefully tucked away in it, ready for the next session on this build!
