(and use this emergency situation to their political benefit) Listening to it is is absolutely hilarious how they want to make the president responsible.........

Jack12477 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share #93 Posted April 6, 2020 Well as luck would have it, I had to go to our local Post Office this morning, on the way back thru the village I had to drive past our local family owned, 5 generations, hardware store. On a whim I stopped, went inside, asked the owner if he had any BBs. Out from under the counter he pulls a bottle of 1500 BBs. He points to their sign motto on the counter, it reads "if we don't have it, you don't need it" . Voila ! Just waiting for the super glue to set! Sad thing about this pandemic is ole Dubya read a book about the 1918 Pandemic, predicted it could happen again and started to plan for it by actually stockpiling needed supplies, but two succeeding administrations gutted his efforts. You either learn from history or you are condemned to repeat it. mtaylor, Canute, Old Collingwood and 4 others 7 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack12477 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share #101 Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Ok, shiny BBs installed, super glue dried, ready to button up the bottom hatch. Time to start working on the decals before I install any of the remaining fiddly bits. Ole fumble fingers will surely destroy them if I don't wait till the decals are on. But now she sits nice and level. In a prior post I promised to post some close up photos of the rotor assembly - they follow First the assembly steps - parts # B1 + B9 and A7 are the top half of the rotor shaft B1 shaft is just inserted, not glued into the other parts. This assembly then glues into the parts B18. then up thru B28 to attach to cap B29. This is what disabled the rotation. Notice also that there are NO do not glue symbols anywhere on the assembly instructions. With the rotor assembly dry fit into position.

Egilman Posted April 7, 2020 Share #102 Posted April 7, 2020 It doesn't look like they left much in the way of shaft based upon those pics. They probably intended to either glue it or let it float. I would definitely let it float at this point, best way to go..... The instructions are a bit sparse on directions.... You would think they would be clear....

lmagna Posted April 7, 2020 Share #109 Posted April 7, 2020 Well at least we will have company. Looks like the kids will be here with us. The Governor has officially declared the school system as closed for the remainder of the school year. They will still offer online classes until June but if what I have seen over the last couple of weeks is any indication, the teachers are getting away scott free. They are still on full pay while sitting at home just like the rest of us useless people. Maybe if we just took out their portion from the property taxes I need to pay. That would save me about $4000 this year! mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmagna Posted April 7, 2020 Share #111 Posted April 7, 2020 You need to remember that you and I have the same governor Egilman. He and the School Superintendent officially canceled school for the rest of this school year about nine hours ago and then spent the rest of a half hour answering stupid questions. Actually I suspected that this would happen when they first shut them down. Unlike some of the snow days they seem to take each year for virtually no reason, I pretty much agree with this one. The kids were not scheduled to return to school for another month anyway and all that would be left would be for them to turn in their school gear and go home for the summer. Why bother? You wouldn't expect the dedicated teachers to work later into the summer to make up for lost days/time would you?

Egilman Posted April 7, 2020 Share #112 Posted April 7, 2020 Yeah I know, the last time I heard anything was this morning and that's what they were saying then, I kind got burned at them and refused to listen to them for the remainder of the day.... So they actually went and did it.... And our dedicated teachers, some of the highest paid teachers in the nation, have to get their inservice days don't you know? Besides, the whole online schooling thing was only so they could get paid.... The teachers didn't lose a thing..... but then they are a protected special class of worker in this state.

lmagna Posted April 8, 2020 Share #117 Posted April 8, 2020 I'm partial to the Vulcan as well. I did talk to a Sharidan guy as well once though. He bragged that when they shot a round from their main gun, it was not IF they hit the target, it was WHERE they hit! He seemed pretty certain about what he was saying. popeye the sailor, Canute, Old Collingwood and 3 others 6 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the minority on my preference for the Sherman Yes, I placed the order online Monday around 1100 hrs and it shipped that same day. Only had to come from Magnolia NJ to Catskill Mtns area. 😁😁😁😁 Why the minority on Sherman? BTW this model is for Ardennes, Battle of Bulge. Haven't opened the box yet to see what extras they threw in but box says it has a lot of accessories to add. 16 minutes ago, mtaylor said: You do need an air defense vehicle to go with all the armor, Jack. This is my 3rd air defense model. I had built the Sgt York Air Defense tank some years ago plus the German AA half track.. if I line them all up I have some massive fire power (in miniature, of course) but then one can never have enough can one Edited April 8, 2020 by Jack12477 popeye the sailor, Egilman, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
