Thanks guys
Last night I cut the knuckle on the small finger of my right hand to the bone (no not with a hobby knife, it was a tin can). I now have it in a splint to keep it from opening up so doing delicate work on the Goose is a struggle (the splint keeps getting in the way). At this point I only have the elevator balances to re-attach (that is it I can find one that went missing) and the props to put on so I should still be able to finish up. I hope to have the final thread posted by the end of the weekend.

Ouch!! Darn near cut my thumb off sharpening a knife years ago, then there was the box cutter I rammed into my thigh. TGF steri-strips
Hope all heals well

Yikes Glenn! There is nothing like the feeling of metal scraping bone!

Well, that sucks and damn those pingers. I'm searching for the pin that attaches the prop to the engine right now.

The fingers doing better although still in a splint so I don't re-open the cut. Never did find the missing elevator balance so I made another one. Put the Hamilton Standard decals on the props, a dark wash on the tail wheel and it was finished. Here's some pics. I'll get the Finished thread on as soon as I can.

Thanks guys and I'm happy to say the pinkie is doing well 
Here are some shots I took and didn't use in the finished thread. I also included a few shots with a Glenco Duck I build about 10 years ago for comparison

Amazing work. Hard to believe a old Lindberg kit can look that good.
