None needed. It's all good information.

I notice you got a new picture, very dashing.
The eye-patch makes the look!

 

[N4521U]

Yep, it was time for a change.......

BTW, that split pea soup is tops!

Today I did a bit inside this thing. I made the internal door frame of .75mm x 1.6mm styrene strip. I may do the same for the stringers along the inside of the rear compartment. I was going to try and cut individual shapes, I do have one of them wire profile match thingies, but it just takes too long. I'll have to do steps and attach to the inside of the door, in the closed position. But I can make them from styrene, and they fon't have to be as perfect as they would be if it were open and in the down position. I sailor on.

I've a feeling you're just stoking up the fire old chap. Keep it coming.

 

[N4521U]

Vic,
I think I am setting myself up again............

and still no deckles.

 

[Lucky13]

Have a pint!

 

[N4521U]

I will have a Scooner! of Guiness please.

 

[Airframes]

Looking good Bill, and I'm wondering how much you'll resist 'going to town' on the interior .... !

 

[N4521U]

I cant resist............... bwah.....

Gonna start laying out the stringers on the walls.
Will build the sonar panels and the winch works for the "ball", transducer. It's more of a cylinder actually.
Just lots of work, but will keep me from getting bored.

 

[Wayne Little]

good stuff Bill, stop thinking about them decal thingy's....

 

[meatloaf109]

Cutting plastic, bending wire, throwing a little paint and glue around,....
Maybe a snort or two later,
Sounds like a 4.0 day to me!

 

[N4521U]

Geez, I haven't heard That term for 48 years!
It will be a 4.0 day tomorrow if the decals come in!
