OK Harrison. But have you told your Mom about the hit into your head? If not you should do it I think.

OK. You did some good work today. But you might look around for another thin plastic sheet that can be better for our purpos. I suggest top-box from ice cream boxes or similar to that , especially these that can be broken like the model plastic when bended.

take care....

 

[B-17engineer]

Okay, I'll see what we have around the house. Do you mean the ones made out of carton have the plastic top? If so I should have on of these.

I told my dad about my head, he said tell me how it feels after you sleep, I don't tell my mom these things because as of now, I've broken 14 different bones and gotten a total of 60 stitches, so she wouldn't want to hear it.

 

[Wurger]

I see what you meant telling about your Mom.

Concerning these plastic top-boxes. I don't know what kind of them can be found in your country but here these boxes for icecream are whole of plastic. These are usually like a cuboid.So there are flat areas of them ( top-boxes, sides and bottoms ) Of course the plastic used for them can beof different features.There are ones that can't be used at all and there are ones that can be easy glued with CA or a cement for plastic. ALso butter and margarine are packed into similar but a little bit smaller boxes. Some of them can be easy bended without any damages and some of them are broken when flexing.

Wojtek, I hope this P-40 isn't going to turn into an Fw190 at some stage....

Everything is possible ....

You are right Vic. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

 

[Wayne Little]

Everything is possible ....

Had my suspicions....

[B-17engineer]

Well..... we have the ice cream.... the problem is none of them are empty. Boy do I have a job ahead of me

 

[Wurger]

But before you eat all the ice cream check firstly if the plastic is good for the purpose.

 

[B-17engineer]

I'm almost 100% sure it is it. But the thing is there are 3 ice cream things all of which are half full.

Maybe I can take the top and put shrink wrap over it

 

[Bucksnort101]

Just make your own new flavor of Ice Cream and scoop the contents of one half empty container into the other half full container and make one full tub of Ice Cream and one Empty. Problem solved, and you don't have to waste any plastic wrap. Talk about being green

 

[kgambit]

Ice Cream? Did someone say Ice Cream? Well gee ... I SUPPOSE I could force myself to help out in this situation .....

What flavours we talking about here Harrison?

Seriously - wouldn't it just be easier to buy a set of Evergreen flat plasticard? You can get a pack of three thickness for about 2.50 - 3 $ at almost any decent hobby store.

 

[Wurger]

Bucksnort101 , this is a good idea I thought as well.

Geez is the "ice cream" a secret password?

 

[kgambit]

Geez is the "ice cream" a secret password?

No. I just like ice cream.

 

[Wurger]

I thought , poor Harrison so many fans of ice cream in his house...

 

[B-17engineer]

yes and KG I'll need to look next time I go to the hobby shop.

 

[kgambit]

I thought , poor Harrison so many fans of ice cream in his house...

Yeah I wonder how he is going to explain all these strange guys in his kitchen eating ice cream to his folks?

"Mom, they're modellers. They followed me home. Can I keep one?"

yes and KG I'll need to look next time I go to the hobby shop.

It comes in a bunch of thicknesses. There is a pack of three sheets with one each of 0.040, 0.020 and 0.010 inch thicknesses. It gives you a little something for every purpose.
