Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 8, 2019 Author Administrators Posted June 8, 2019 Thanks Phil! It’s trial, error, then back up and fix it. 2
GazzaS Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 it's looking great, Ern. But I still don't know what SWAG is. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 8, 2019 Author Administrators Posted June 8, 2019 Folks, after going to the Bonham, Tx Trade Days with my wife, I be back on the bench. Heres a few close ups of the nose, side scoop, and Mk.X fuselage reinforcements. So far, all engineering has been performed courtesy of the Mk.1a eyeball and a healthy dose of SWAG. I’m somewhat pleased by the results, and an trying not to get the turret too smooth. The pics show wrinkled sheeting. 6

BlrwestSiR Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 I subscribe to both of those theories regularly. 3
GazzaS Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 I really... really hate sanding around small raised details. How do you do it? I even tape over them sometimes and they still cop it. 3

Old Dog Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Work on the turret looks great (as does everything else so far) but when I look at this photo It looks like the lanc is tossing its cookies ! 5

ONLY if it's perfect..............I NEVER see a flaw in any of the work all you guys do, I think there is a little B/S here SAWG, and FICE........... nay nay gentlemen.................. your works are all top drawer................ ALL of you, and for the record, Ernie, the front turret is damn near perfect......and the mid upper is nothing short of 100%....... just sayin............. 2
