The ‘tool holder’ at my bench is my chair 🤭🤭😆😆😆

Is this gonna take a while ??🤔🤔. Enquiring minds want to know …🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m so sorry to hear this. I think of him often and miss him here. As , with everyone else I wish him only the best and am looking forward to his recovery and return to us happy and healthy. Ernie, give him my best wishes and he is in my prayers. Thanks for the update. Jeff

As a kid it was funny and as an adult it is hilarious. Because now we can relate to some of the work issues and Art Carney was a fabulous actor. It was clean wholesome comedy with no overtones of any sort. Refreshing in today’s world.

Seriously you guys ??? Geez I’m not that old. I thought EVERYONE knew the Honey Mooners’ .. its actually back on late night. I will try to keep my posts to something more contemporary. Sorry guys.

It was a joke from a tv show from the ‘50’s called the ‘Honey Mooners’ starring Jackie Gleeson, Art Carney, Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph. Gleeson played Ralph Kramden and his wife played by Meadows was Alice. And Ralph wud get mad and always say ‘ to the moon Alice to the moon’ ….

I agree with you ,Peter. I have seen some aircraft so heavily weathered, if it were a real airplane, it would have been so heavy it never would have got off the ground. This weathering is spot on. As always, John’s talents shine. Jeff

I have to agree with the Herc model. It represents our Air Force when we had an Air Force and when we had the nicest , sharpest, cleanest Air Force anywhere. Instantly recognizable and proud personnel. Our birds were beautiful. Not just blah grey like today. It was very rare to see a dirty RCAF/CAF ever.

Carl was the Bras d’Or scratch made? That is very cool of a little known Canadian subject. Your pics are great. Thanks for getting them and thinking of us. Jeff

I know this shud go into the ‘meme’ thread, but I think it fits here better.

This might be better..... Jeff

Check this out, perfect timing for your build , John... another one is FLYING !!

Excellent as usual John. Final results are wonderful. Those kits are great. They go together easily and quickly with little fuss and the end result looks great. Jeff

Father in law was 25 years Navy , so I can say that you are now considered a professional. 🤭😆😆😆😆 I used to find Labatts Blue used to give me a screamer so that was not pleasant. I’m still ok with wine and a little JD but mass produced beer is no longer on my menu. Craft beers these days. We cud still practise if you ever want to hook up and give it a go….🤔😆😆

Welcome to global ‘warming’🤭😆

I’m lovin this, John . Giving me the gas to get mine out of the stash and continue on with the conversion. 🤔🤔 Looking forward to the next instalment. Jeff

Yeah , like at Hendon , so the whole world can see and enjoy this master piece of miniature historical significance. This is world class craftsmanship. Jeff

Awesome , John, that bomb bay kit really sets it off ! Looking great !

Now that's what I call service ! I will be looking for your next update, John, and yes I agree the paint turned out beautifully, although I am still not a fan fo that bulbous nose... I wish they had come up with a better idea...

Did the bomb bay show up, John?

And , as a matter of fact , I actually do have a DVII in the stash. So I will put it on the ‘schedule’. 👍🤭thanks Rob

Thanks for your very kind words Rob , you have given me more fuel to carry on. I certainly do plan on doin a WNW kit. I have huge aspirations and hope to try to achieve a modicum of success. I have to admit the rigging is intimidating. I will watch with great interest how you tackle this particular aircraft and take note on your techniques. Jeff
