  1. Evening all, no progress with the wokka today as this afternoon a more pressing urgency was at hand - out yorkie has been constantly licking her back foot for a couple of days - we checked but could not see anything, but today it was really swollen so we wrang our vets who gave us an apointment for this evening, cut a long story short I carried her there and because of covid we wore masks and the vet came outside asked the problem then took our pooch off us and inside the vets. About Half an hour later they came outside to us and she told us it was because of our dog constantly licking it that caused the swelling - she was given a couple of injections - anti-biotic and something else and we then came home. She is fine in herself can walk on all fours but constant liking - hard to stop a dog from doing that and one of those dog cones are not really ideal although we were given one. So - an evenful day. OC.
  2. Thats a cracking start mate - nothing like a bit of brick work to keep you busy - "Half a brick - Full brick - Half a brick - Full brick" rinse and repeat. OC.
  3. Come and join the club we are a merry bunch locked away down here - we are a bit mad (well I am anyway) but more the merrier. OC.
  4. Yes indeed, just googled it - same physical appearence but upto date mods on it - they say good for another 30 years. OC.
  5. Here you go mate - curtosy of wikipedia - Performance Maximum speed: 159 kn (183 mph, 294 km/h) Service ceiling: 18,500 ft (5,600 m) Rate of climb: 1,980 ft/min (10.1 m/s) OC.
  6. Indeed Lou, quite a useful tool it is - I know it can carry a jeep and trailor inside with the seats up. OC.
  7. I have a couple of pics of the later ones sisters from a few years back. OC.
  8. And them hoofs on that metal floor disturbing the concentration while playing cards and Battleships. OC.
  9. Yep, they are waiting for some wheels to be shipped over by horse and cart but have to go though the fields near - yes you guessed it Waterloo then they can carry on with the building of the chopper - there is a mixed bag of soldiers inside sitting it out playing cards - French Infantry, KGL snipers , British Infantry and even a few cuirassiers but without the horses - the horses are in one of the aircraft hangers sharing some freeze dried hay and condensed water pelets, OC.
  10. This looks very interesting mate - good practice if you ever fancied building a whole scale castle. OC.
  11. Evening all, right the Wokka needs power - please find fitted One engine glued and filled, the other one is on the other side but needs filling around the gaps. Perhaps I should call it - "The Time Machine"😉 OC.
  12. Liking the look of that mate - very nice paitwork. OC.
  13. Found this on the net today (not my pic) shows what we were talking about. OC.
  14. Another nice build under your belt Greg, looking forward to stage Two as I have seen quite a few of them and her sisters. OC.
  15. Well said - its a true testament (I know I havn't spelt that right) to our fine forum we are a family and we stray when food is on the table or mentioned - some of us can smell it even when offline or on another site, lets say its fuel for the brain to keep our build - building - keep building (bet that doesn't make much sense)☺️ OC.
  16. No problem at all mate, I completely agree about the pre-work that needs doing first - it helps having kits of this size - more space to work on. OC.
  17. Good day all, more work on the rear rotor housing - I decided to completely fill in those horrible Huge panel line gaps and sand them flat. OC.
  18. Thank you Denis, yep its taking a bit of fiddling to get it to look right - getting there though - bit by bit. OC.
