OK. Very good. Do you have quite big pencil with thick hair? Have you ever used callipers ?

 

[B-17engineer]

Pencil yes!

Caliper, is yet to be bought, I completely forgot...

 

[Wurger]

OK. the pencil will be needed too.My fault sorry... I was thinking about a brush with the thick hair.

 

[B-17engineer]

Yes, but I use it for dusting when I sand something. The other brush I have I was hoping to save for when I start painting this baby!

 

[B-17engineer]

Wojtek, dinner time. If there is anything, at all, you think I can handle on my own could you post it, cause if I have time I'd like to do a bit of work tomorrow!

Have a GREAT day at work tomorrow! Talk to you soon!

 

[Wurger]

Thank you Mate. All you have to do today yet is to remove all these pieces of the putty on wings , fuselage etc. I mean these nubbles of the putty I can see almost all on the model. Then wash up your model with warm water and some soap to remove the dust and dirt. But firstly you can remove these masking tape from all the model surfaces and take a few nice pics to show me the model at the stage. I'll be on for a while yet. When you have your model washed put it away for drying . Don't use a hairdryer for that. Simply let it get drying itself. Also I wanted you to prepare the phone card. Remove these colourful picture and the magnetic strip ( if there is ) by sanding. You need to have a white card on both sides.

Oh... Find the callipers because we will need it the day after tomorrow when we try to have a few parts for the model scratchbuilt.

 

[B-17engineer]

Di-di-did you say scratchbuild? Okay, well I'll look online tonight for some with fast shipping or see if my mom will run out.....

I will do these tasks tonight, since I'll be going to bed a bit later since were taking a trip in school tomorrow which doesn't require sleep.

Okay and does any, soap work? Also, the phone card, not sure what to do

 

[B-17engineer]

it's not 100 calipers just them trying to get you to buy it haha

Shipping though ... (time wise)

 

[Wurger]

Now you can remove the blue tape from the model. Take a few good pic and show me how it look like now.I'll be on line for a while yet. Then wash your model with water and soap using your hands and put away for getting dry.

The phone card you have to sand on both sides in order to remove a paint these usually printed on them pictures, advertisement etc....Also there can be the magnetic strip on one of these sides.It has to be removed too.Sandpaper is able to remove all these things. SImply you have to have a white and clear card on both sides.

BTW. Scratchbuilding is quite easy.So take it easy.

 

[B-17engineer]

Okay pics coming up !

 

[B-17engineer]

Phone card, hmmmmm. I need to look for one

Harrison ...now it's a fault of my dictionary I think. The tool you showed me with the link is useful and if you want you can buy it. It can came in handy for future measuring.

I meant something like this one in the pic below...

 

[B-17engineer]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Should have those somewhere....

Pics. Phone card last pic.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.... Follow the instruction posted above and put the model away for drying.The tape on fuselage you can remove too.

The card looks good. Is that plastic one?

 

[B-17engineer]

Yes, it is thick plastic, I asked around and my dad said he had one that expired a while ago so he gave it to me.

Having trouble finding the things in the picture above. I'll keep looking.

 

[Wurger]

Do you mean the "cyrkiel" ?

 

[B-17engineer]

Yea

So sandpaper and wash the model?

 

[Wurger]

Concerning the cyrkiel if you can't find it , it is no problem we will cope with it in another way.

For removing these pieces of the putty from the model use the thick brush you use for removing of the dust. Then wash the model .Sand the card and then wash it up as well.There shouldn't be any piece of the paint on it. I hope the card is old and not needed any longer.

I'm going bed. So see you....

 

[B-17engineer]

It isn't! Goodnight! Talk to you soon,

 

[B-17engineer]

Here we are,

First off the phone card. I sanded it down so the raised letters are flat, the card was REALLY hot after sanding because of the friction

Then the other 3 are my model getting a bath. I'm going to let it dry on the 'workbench' and get back to it.
