popeye the sailor Posted February 26, 2020 Share #211 Posted February 26, 2020 how I did the Wulfe Hound was to put some paint on an old face cloth {admiral wouldn't let me take one out of the drawer} folded up somewhat. dabbed it on the first thing I saw { a cardboard box}, and did long light strokes over the wings and such, front to back. some I even did with a semi dry Q tip. good to see her together Mark!

mtaylor Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share #212 Posted February 26, 2020 Thanks for the ideas, gents. I mounted the rear ramp and door... not glued yet though as I'm sorting that part out. I'm thinking either fully closed or maybe the top panel fully open and the ramp half open or even full up. I also started filling in the gaps.... tomorrow sanding. And before I repaint the filled gaps, I need to check the fit of a few pieces just in case I need to butcher things.

mtaylor Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share #217 Posted February 27, 2020 No necromancy Denis, except the guns. The butchering concept to me is getting things to fit together. A bit of hack and paste, sanding, reshaping.... I got really bogged down with the ramp area. Still not perfect but it's close now.

mtaylor Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share #218 Posted March 2, 2020 Seems like it's two steps forward and one step back lately.... Oh well. I've been doing lots of clean up and adding subassemblies. Probably have another 10-15 bits to go. I had to remove one of the seats to get access to the cabin as I broke (again) a gun. At least now I'll be able to put it on and not fear (he says knowing that's a lie) that I'll break it again. I'm going to hold off though until just before the glass front end goes on. Actually, I'm pretty pleased. I still have a few seam lines to fill and and repaint but nothing serious there. And I knocked out a window so have to figure out if I can fit from the inside or just leave it off and claim battle damage.

lmagna Posted March 2, 2020 Share #219 Posted March 2, 2020 Missing side window? Just enter it in the log book as on order. That places the aircraft as serviceable. Could you get/make a wax stick like you suggested to me and place the window back in through the open ramp area. Looking good Mark. It looks a little more complete with the landing gear sponsons on.

mtaylor Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share #220 Posted March 3, 2020 I tried the stick... along with lots of bad language. Didn't work. Window shot out by ground fire duly noted in log book.

mtaylor Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share #223 Posted March 4, 2020 And...... she's done and on the shelf. Pics below. My only comment is that there really should be a better way to glass than thick plastic. <sigh> And one last tale from Vietnam. We had made a delivery of assorted goods (c-rats, ammo) to platoon in the field. On the way back to base, we're lumbering along at about 500 feet and maybe 100 knots speed. Kind of relaxing. The left door gunner, who was the 1st mech for chopper (I was at the right) suddenly yells.. "taking fire request permission to returnn....". That's all he got out when the pilot broke in with "Hell yes." and started banking to the left to help the gunner out. As we started the bank and he started working the .50, I moved over to his side and started reading a second box of ammo. I looked out and he's shooting at a water buffalo that surrounded by 6 guys in black PJ's shooting at us. He nailed 4 right off the bat, we're loosing altitude (intentionally) when the water buffalo explodes. I looked at him, he at me, and we both just went "Wow". While this was going on, Huey Cobra showed up just after the explosion and he dropped down low and slow and then reported back that there's 6 bodies and one crater. Hey... we felt good. Better them than us. We landed, checked the plane and wandered off. The next morning, I bumped into the Colonel (our pilot) and he told me to go look at the side of the chopper. On the 1st mechs side, under the window where the gun was, there was painted a "kill" like the WWII fighters.... but this was a water buffalo with an "X" through it. Loved it and wish I knew were my albums were as I know I had a picture of it. So much for wandering down memory lane for now. It's been both fun and hard, but worth the trip to me. I'm now going to go focus on the Bellle Poule. And thanks to everyone who put up me remembering like some old guy... wait... I am an old guy.

For some reason it had to sit in closet and wait. It wasn't about the model or the finish, but the journey. At first, I didn't want to go there but as started the build, the journey was good mostly even though there were some emotional rough spots. I realized the meaning and truth of the old Dylan song "My Backdoor" and the chorus: "I was so much older than, I'm younger then that now.". A healing has occurred I think. I talked it over this past Saturday with my shrink (we're now friends and every Saturday afternoon we meet at a pub), it's I buy a round and he buys around and we just talk or listen to the music. He thinks it was good. So we both thank you. And I thank for the forum and followers for putting up with my rambling.

When I asked my cousin what it was, she answered, "mountain oysters". When I asked why, she answered, "don't you love my lasagna?, well, that's part of the secret recipe." Similar happened when I ate several helpings of some delicious meat at my grandmother's house, then I learned I had eaten several large helpings of cow tongue. 😄 So yeah, I've learned to try things, but I do have my limits. Can't handle raw earthworms or stuff like that. 😄 Old Collingwood, lmagna, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

popeye the sailor Posted March 4, 2020 Share #240 Posted March 4, 2020 super job on the chopper Mark a heartfelt 'second that', that the project held a hidden benefit for you. yup.......I myself find plastic to be a huge learning curve..........I must have been working with wood way too long! I can't believe how much I had to rethink. I actually amazed myself.........didn't knock off a single gun on the B 17's so far, but I have one more to go..........there's still a chance for Murphy to intervene congratz on a model well done Canute, Jack12477, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
