  1. Foil? Please! Pretty, Please! Pretty please with sugar and squirrels on top?
  2. Hah! Still had to look it up! I thought it was related to the PBY.
  3. Whattsa peanut butter and jelly 1H?
  4. Alas... the Taube!
  5. I have a few 1/350 warships. One about 1/10th done. I'm held up because a cable became detached and it really gave me the shits. There is a point where I stop detailing. The eye can only see so much. Unless you get a hard-on from showing your work in macro photos... Just find that 'good enough' spot and move on. Gaz
  6. Cool! I have a black barbecue apron that helps, too.
  7. That looks really great, Ryan!
  8. Heh... I never thought about that Rob! Thanks for the kind words.
  9. Hi again, Everybody... and those of you who exist on an ethereal plane.... Spent a lot of time yesterday working on the landing gear. After the first drying period, I discovered that the starboard wingtip sat 15mm higher than the port. After some wrestling and some knife work, I can report that both wingtip lights sit 57mm over the deck. IN addition to that I added the pilots step and landing gear covers. I don't know if all of the angles are correct... I was happy to get the wingtips level. From 80 gauge copper wire I made the landing gear indicators and I used .7mm brass tube and .5mm brass rod to fashion the pitot tube. My effort for this afternoon was limited to masking the exhaust stubs and spraying them with Alclad polished aluminum. I hope I can do a nice orange-to-blue burnt metal look to the stubs.... we'll see how it goes... Thanks for looking! Gaz
  10. Few things are as meaningful as your updates, mate!
  11. Hopefully this will motivate you guys further... It'll probably dissuade me from doing another...lol It's gotten very smooth. I wants to slide off the jig. I have to grip either main wings or fuselage very firmly. Thanks fer looking! Gaz
  12. Wow! Cool looking aircraft. Looks like a Skyraider mated with a bullfrog. Can't wait to see it done! Gaz
  13. So many great shows around the world... but all so far away.
  14. You might be right... might be my sometimers. Now... Where did I park my car?
  15. I seem to be loving this build on more than one site!
  16. That looks quite nice, Dude!
  17. Until the thingamijig breaks but you're not certain whether it's that thingamajig or some other thingamjig that is broken. Then you gotta pay somebody to find and fix the correct thingmajig, but they always helpfully find some other thingamajig that needs fixing, rendering fixing only the first thingamajig pointless. Because in 2-3 months, you'll have to replace said thingamajig if you don't follow their suggestion. If I sell my 98' Hilux and buy a new one, I'll never be a back yard mechanic again.
  18. Congrats, Ernie! Well deserved recognition.
