IJN Musashi by cog - Tamiya - 1:350 - PLASTIC - old tool

[cog]

Besides having been a major nuisance to myself - debugging a program for bugs all week long - I have managed to accomplish some things on a more happy note. Sparkling PE

 

From parts to the full fledged thing a ma jig ... nearly forgot, one of the two airplane catapults ... (why didn't they use those for boats, much faster launching!)

 

 

 

 

Had a lovely Dutch sky Yesterday (just around the corner ...)

[BANYAN]

Those pics look familiar mate - nice bending work by the way.  You are slowly getting there

 

cheers

Well done on the bending Carl.

 

PE Catapults and apple pie, there is a Marks Brothers skit in there somewhere.

Pat,

Thanks, you put your finger on the sore spot: Slowly. In the end I'll get here

 

Sam,

Hadn't thought about that ... flying apple pie

 

Dennis,

If there is left, you can get another helping ... it's a pitty it takes 3.5 to 4 hours to make ... it seems I like it slow

[Piet]

Your PE work looks great Carl. I now also know how trying it can be. I'm working on a 1:350 scale Dutch WW II sub. No, no build log yet, not enough time to start one and may have a problem setting it up.

Sorry to hear about your back, no fun

 

Cheers,

I thought it rather mistifying ... or should I say blurring ...

 

The back is a lot better, I wish I could be tortured a bit longer by that lovely physiotherapist. She had a good hand in manipulating muscle tissue! I can twist and shout again, not as supple as 30 years ago, but movement without pain is back

 

Nearly ready to prime the hull ...

I found that using a piece of thin brass rod works far better to apply CA than a touthpick. You can burn off any build up glue from it with a lighter, which is very practicle!!!

[popeye the sailor]

just be careful of the fumes......they can't be good

These little paper embossing tools work fantastic for precision placement of super glue. The little ball on the end of the tool allows you to place a tiny "dot" of glue just where you want it.

Nice find Mr Bunny, thanks for the information, for now I stick to my piece of hot rod

[Old Collingwood]

Looking great  - some fine work going on.

 

 

OC.

Back is hurtung less. Worked from home, which saved me the drive by car. Primed the hull ... unfortunately I can go back to the workbench, and pull some finer grained sandpaper from the stack. That'll have to wait till next week though.

At least your getting around better Carl, good to hear.

A tour in Marine Corps, never hurt my back. Seven years of boxing, never hurt my back. Years of high level football, never hurt my back. Years of lifting all sorts of very heavy objects at work, never hurt my back.

A kids birthday party, while grilling hamburgers and hotdogs, our little puppy walked behind my feet while I was stepping backward. Tried to avoid stepping on the pup and awkwardly fell backward but caught myself and no damage done...or so I thought until the next morning when I could not get up out of bed and had to crawl to my car to go to a doctor. 

The moral of the story, you can do extremely hard. heavy work all your life and a five pound puppy can end up wrecking your back.  Go figure.

 

Hope you get that back straightened out, Carl. I know first hand what a painful aggravation it can be.

[cog]

It's the small things in life that make the difference Mr Bunny Hope your back got to it's sturdy self again!!

 

Thanks for the thumbs up Sam

[RGL]

Photos Cog! Where are you up to? 

[Canute]

Greg, he's gone on holiday to Stockholm. Don't think he took any comms/computers.

[cog]

As Ken said. Have been off the air. Just got back ... pfff sore feet and shins, and a mind full of images Pictures of Musashi ... first need to get rid of my nagging employer. Even a long weekendoff  seems to much to them!!!

 

[BANYAN]

Welcome back Carl, hope Stockholm was all you hoped and that your back continues to improve.  Look forward to your updates.

 

cheers

 

Pat

[cog]

Pat! Back from Canada?

Stockholm was much more. Besides, I had a tremendous good guide on Saterday afternoon and Sunday. Mike showed me a lot of pearls, and I can't wait to go back  to do some further exploring!!! Back has improved a lot. Hardly feel it anymore. Maybe walking through Stockholm did the trick, if so I'll get my physician to write me a recurring prescription to go there

[popeye the sailor]

welcome back Carl!  glad to hear your mind and back are doing better  

[BANYAN]

I am on my way home Carl, a couple of days to go    Glad to hear your back is improved -  if your doctor is inclined, can he write me one of those prescriptions also

 

cheers

 

Pat

[RGL]

You found WiFi?

[cog]

Thanks Denis.

 

Pat,

If he does, I'll have one for you too Could go simultaneously

 

Greg,

Finding WiFi is not the point, getting entrance to the network is a lot harder. Luckily I'm back home now. unfortunately, I've been working my hiney off to get a major software release finished ... not much building or spraying

[Beef Wellington]

Much detail and fiddliness Carl, I don't know how you do it so neatly, nicely done.

[cog]

Thanks, Jason. I have a good example/teacher in Greg (RGL)

 

Hope to get some things done next week. Got the entire week off, i.e. work, which doesn't mean I may find myself lost in other horendous chores ... where there is hope ...

[RGL]

So you should get it finished then! A whole week! 

[cog]

Come and gi'me a hand then mate!!

[RGL]

I think the air fares would be a bit excessive....
