Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 28, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2018 My Mustang’s sitting there, I’m sanding and fitting, needing a break, futzing away on the Würger, needing a break, keep pushing the PBJ out of the way as it’s taking up so much bloody room on the bench. Sigh. time to press on and finish the PBJ so I can concentrate on my my super detailed Mustang, I think. Been drifting and bobbing about in the doldrums of late. It really sux going nowhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CAT]CplSlade Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 So just finish eating the PBJ and you'll have room on your bench plus a full tummy. How much room does a sandwich take up anyway? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wumm Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I have the perfect remedy Buddy... I go and ask the good Lady Wife "Is there anything I can do for you, my Dear?" After an hour or so, I strangely find that I have a renewed zest for the Hobby! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I've been re-decorating our kitchen for the past fortnight Ernst, it's a great incentive to get back to the bench! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunhertz Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I've been a little productive. Took the moulded seat belts off the UHU and laid down the RLM 66 in the Cockpit now for the detail painting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJTX Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Ernie, I feel for you buddy. I've ahead a few complex builds lately that slowed me down. I tried a quick P-47 build but that went sideways quick. I'm enjoying my B-25 immensely so far but I know it'll be a long time till it's done. So, I'll be pulling out a Wingnut Fokker that I started to get a fun, easy, successful build done to really recharge my batteries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure anyone who's served anywhere in the world in the Armed Service of Her Majesty can relate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 29, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted October 29, 2018 This is depressing. A year’s worth of fiddle-farting around netted me this. Yes, it kinda looks like amateur hour here, but that was the state of affairs when I put it aside a year ago. The interior is resin castings with all extra details scratched. The jump seat is just sitting unsecured on the floor. Plus two decent engines and a tail gun emplacement but that’s not important right now. Plenty of scratching left to do along with radio mounting and ALL the wiring. Then weathering it to look like it spent the last year operating off a coral island in the middle of the salt filled air of the sweltering South Pacific. In other words, weather it to within an inch of its life. (Think A-36 Apache in 1945) I have plenty of placards for her, panel, side panels, radios, etc. Like others here, I’m scratching a large portion of the interior, and most, if not all will be invisible when finished But it’s fun and educational, and I really don’t know when or where to stop 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got f do up with the endless pe and resin and at one time, almost binned the whole bunch. It’s a touch monotonous looking right now, but that’ll change quickly enough. I have some cool little brass 75mm shells to place in the rack as well. The other fuselage side is constructed as well and there is a loader’s seat and radio rack installed. I need to make a gun breech and a floor ejection trapdoor for spent casings. And of course, there will be a literal nest of wiring Sad that most of this will never be seen 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hang in there Buddy, as Ive been treading the same waters: start ‘em and then the juices go south. I’ve lost track on how many starts this year and have vowed it’s time for a stiff drink, a kick in the butt, buckle down and get someting finished since my Tamiya 48th scale Tomcat - seems so long a go. Discussed this with John and low and behold a Tamiya F4U-1D is on the bench. It broke open the dam and I’m back building and enjoying - update this week. Just think FUN and NO STRESS. Grab another T-28 or Tamiya kit and dive in. It’s what the doc ordered Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
