I think I found Sjors lurking at the fringes of my recent adventure claiming he had some brainwashed seal spying on me..... so I turned his seal into a double agent by tossing it a bucket of fish....

Keith, I won't spoil the surprise and tell you how it ended

The window frames themselves were photo etch that came with the kit, but with a jig they could easily be made up using styrene or strip wood. If you have a good hobby shop near you, see if they stock Evergreen or Plastruct strips for the styrene option, or Mt Albert Scale Lumber for the strip wood option. Andy

Nice job on the whole thing so far. Looks really good. I know there's nothing that can replace the satisfaction of creating parts for yourself, but when I saw you go to the trouble of making all those bolts, I thought I would bring this to your attention. I know it's probably a bit late now, and there's absolutely nothing wrong at all with your work, but something tells me that if you had to do that for a whole warf, you'd drive yourself nuts (bad pun... sorry)... so here: http://grandtline.com/products/mrr/mrr%20details/augmentables.html Andy

Of course I imagine you still require a daily booster to keep up your immunization?

It's actually not that hard to do. All I did on mine was trace the outline of the quarter badges onto some basswood of an appropriate thickness of basswood and with careful cutting and filing, and sanding, it took me about an hour to make each one. Andy

I'm with Chris on this one...make yourself a new one from scratch... at least... that's what I would do. You may have to make a few attempts at it, but when you finally got it right, you'd be much happier. Andy

I guess that goes to show you that snacks are ok... as long as it's popcorn. Everything else carries too great a risk. Andy

Incredibly painstaking work, very nicely done

I'm talking about different men in white coats..... The ones that take you away to a nice padded room......
-
You just keep saying that to yourself....... I'll send for the nice men in the white coats to come and get you

But there is at least one big nut.. A nice paint job, like everyone says, I do like the paler yellow, separates them from the English a bit more... Andy

Incredibly well done! I don't disagree with your decision to paint her, for the reasons you gave. In the name of consistency, she should be painted. Or... you could chalk this up as a separate model and finish it up un-painted and display it on it's own.... (just sayin', is all ) Andy

Hey Sjors... grab a broom, you're needed in the lounge.... someone's spilling peanuts all over the place... and you've been volun-told to clean up duties..

Very nice planking. Andy
-
Just trying to keep you focused, is all
-
It didn't take you too long to get back on the go after your mishap. Looks good, hopefully nothing more will go amiss. Andy

I think I pretty much intend on following Chuck's instructions to the letter (as best I can). As for a building board, I plan on tacking down a couple pieces of quarter round moulding to a good plank. Andy

I'll put the men in the white coats on standby.... Not to drag him off to some padded room or something... Just have them ready to puff him with a bag of sawdust every now and again...
