Not yet. My nanny had an emergency and had to fly back to Poland leaving me high and dry for a sitter. In stead of taking off work for a week and a half my boss allowed me to switch shifts. I'm working graveyard shift and watching the twins during the day.

 

[Wayne Little]

Fair enough!.....still be back later....

 

[N4521U]

Life does get in the way of the good stuff.
Or is that backwards. Enjoy them while you can, they grow fast.

 

[dirkpitt289]

On top of the shift change I got a cold which is kicking my butt.

 

[Wayne Little]

Bummer.....

More like not having a good week and to make things worse I've lost bits to the Phantom. A small fret of the landing gear bits along with an access hatch for the fuselage. The good thing is I have another of the same kit in the stash {A Sundowners Bird] I can rob the missing parts from. Then when it comes time to build that one I'll just have build it wheels up. I've been applying the decals but its taking a very long time. They won't release from the paper and even though I'm using Micro sol and Micro set I'm having a very difficult time moving the decals into place. Photos soon I promise.

Strewth, how many mirrors did ya break....it just ain't fair...

Truely, decals that won't release suck! Are you using warm water? On those, the warmer the better.

chin up mate, sure it'll all get better soon

 

[dirkpitt289]

No doubt, I'm thinking that after a camping trip I'm taking my kid on for a school trip Mon, Tues, Wed, things will settle down and I can get back to it.

 

[dirkpitt289]

Sorry for the delay in updates but Hurricane Sandy has put a but of a damper on my modeling efforts. Will resume once power and is restored and some other issues are settled
