I don't want to tie up EG's log with my rambling but I had to reply to Jack - I had the same about 9 years ago, went in for a pre arranged Hiatus Hernia op the surgeon debated doing it as a "Key Hole" job but in the end I was just sliced open (about a 6 Inch cut in my groin) same as your self no lifting for so many weeks but I was lucky I was out the same day, all is fine now apart from ocassional sensations from the wire gause they put in. Take good care of yourself. OC. -
Sorry to hear that brother sincelely/warmly hope all is well with your admiral now. OC.

So well said Michael.👍 OC.

I would imagine that extra strengthening will add strength to the join, I remember my late farther building an R/C boat for me - he basicaly over engineered the hull - strengthening the hull and applying coat after coat of dope to the inside and outside hull followed by about 100 layers of paint.

I won't confess to knowing much about the subject (kind of missed learning about it) but I will say the info here is really first class, just waiting for the building to start now - I will start on the "munchies" while we wait. OC.

Also an easy way to show interest just by a way of saying "Hi" without using words - is to look down the current activity down the Right hand side list and click on any subjects that you like / have some interest in / or subject you know about, even if you dont leave a comment you can just click "the like button". Our site is without doubt the lovliest most friendly site I have ever used in all my life. Just keep chatting/liking as like the Kevin Costner film "Bulid it - they will come - Chat and you will make friends / find answers to your questions" Hope that helps? And by the way - a belated Welcome to the family OC.

Evening all, more progress - firstly I glued down the Two seats then gave thier frames a few coats of Grey (still need the cushions painting) then I worked on the Two consol supports these have sone subtle wiring that after fitting I picked these out with Silver dry brushing, then it was the turn of the Instrument consol, this was given a few coats of Black then when dry it was decal time - these are Three seperate pieces for the instruments - they went down without fuss, then when set I brushed over a few coats of flat top coat. I then glued it in place and nest will be to paint the seat cushions. Bulkhead still just dry fitted. OC.

Mark will be along with the pop corn later - he now owns a Huge pop corn maker, that might have to sit on the deck also.😃 OC.

Thats a good start - and that frame looks like it will make a lot of difference in taking the worry out of any miss-aligned frames. OC.

Thats a really tidy well executed job of your first planking - very nice progress. OC.

I always wanted a full size replica Mortory Sword but the admiral wasn't too impressed by the idea. OC.

Evening all, I got some good progress on this today, remember I had masked up? well I applied a few coats of a mid Grey then dried them - this allowed me to remove the tape fairly quickly, it turned out ok with just a tiny amount of seepage - just a quick touch up fixed this, then I decided to weather the floor a bit as it would have seen a lot of movement - basic Earth wash all over then using a wet brush I removed most of it - then finished off with a rag the dried - doesn't look too bad. Next was to work on the cockpit parts - simple process cut them off clean them up - glue in then down, then they were painted Grey/Black and dried, next I painted a few details and did a wash and a bit of dry brushing. The pic with the cockpit bulkhead is just dry fitted as it will go in when the seats are painted and fitted. OC.
