Damn Terry, she's lookin great man.... I hate coming down to the wire on these Builds....

 

[Airframes]

Thanks very much wayne, H and Dan.
Me too Dan, and it's literally the wire (From fins to cockpit canopy) which will be the final, and trickiest bit on this one!

Love the nose art. Great job.

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree, nicely done!

Look'in awesome there Terry me likee the exhaust stains,Sharp overall Cheers Kevin

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Kevin. Well she's now just about done. There's a few small areas to re-touch, and add detail painting such as the static vent etc. I'll attach the antenna wires from canopy to fins once the model is on the base, which itself is almost complete - just waiting for bits to dry and settle.
I'm having an Intenet connection problem at the moment, keeps dropping out, so I'll post pics tomorrow.

B*ll*cks!! My whole body is too stiff and painful to do any work today, but the model itself is finished. Just got to do some finishing touches to the base, place the Lanc on it, then set the aerial wires. Thankfully, the deadline extension should allow this, but I can't even take any pics at the moment, as I can't hold the bl**dy camera! Grrr!

 

[A4K]

Damn, Terry...hope it gets better SOON !!!

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Evan, but little change today. The pain and stifness has now spread to my knees and upper arms, and I still can't hold the camera enough to take pics. Bl**dy fingers, and the rest of my body, are being very disobedient, and not doing what I say!!
Pics as soon as I'm able I reckon.

Hope you'll get better soon Terry...

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Igor. I sort of get used to it at this time of year - I should move to a better climate!!

 

[lesofprimus]

Damn Terry, sorry to hear ur still outta sorts man... I too am feeling horrible at the moment and about ready to lay down...

Ugh...

We shall suffer in misery together Brother...

 

[Airframes]

Pass the 'T Stoff' then......

 

[B-17engineer]

And the jack@$$ I hit today after he skied in front of me will feel your guys' pain as well...

 

[DBII]

I hope you are doing better today, Terry.

Thanks guys. Overall, I'm fine, it's just the bl**dy pain and stiffness! I can just about use the keyboard, slowly, but I can't hold the camera properly to focus and press the shutter! Bl**dy effing stupid disease!!
The model and base are finished, and I'll post pics just as soon as I'm able too. Fortunately, it's non competing, and won't be winning any 'Memeber's Choice' poll anyway, so a couple of days delay shouldn't hurt. Just wish I could start on the Mustang, and a couple of other projects!

 

[Crimea_River]

Don't rule out member's choice Terry. Whatever the base looks like won't affect the beautiful work you've done on the main subject. Hope you get through your latest bout quickly.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks mate, I hope so too. It's been three days of bl**dy pain and frsutration so far!

 

[kgambit]

Hang in there Terry. It's looking great.
