popeye the sailor Posted May 4, 2023 Author #68 Posted May 4, 2023 hello all! I do apologize for the extensive hiatus, but I thought I'd make an appearance to let you all know that I'm well and not knock'in on Heaven's door. so many things to think about..........so many thing I want to do.......I seem to be in the clutches of some sort of builder's block. I've started a few projects, but so far, I haven't found anything to peak my interest....I tend to drift back into the hole at the moment, I'm in the middle of revamping the shelving in the living room, so I can add more finished projects. I've also been selected to attend Jury duty the end of this month....I really don't want to do it.....but we'll see how it all pans out. for those who know me, I have always tried to put as much into my models as I can........some even exceeded my envisions. but the last few builds haven't shown my visions, and that is disheartening......great expectations, but they seem to fall short. imagination has always been the mother of creativity for me. I thank you all for liking the model I'm glad that I was able to find the model in the box...........opening a box, you never know what your gonna get. to open a model this old, especially a wood kit, is a crap shoot. you find one that you can utilize most or all of the parts, or you get one that needs a lot of love and replacement wood. I have been lucky in this respect, although I did add some basswood into the model to make it look more complete.....the upper plane of the wing and fuselage. added missing aspects added to the model, but I feel that the absense of rigging knocks it down quite a bit I know I sound like my own worst critic, but it stands as an example of what I'm talking about.........my vision of adding it wasn't realized in the finished model. I either goofed in adding the provisions for adding it, or I overlooked what it would take for adding it.....could even be a mix of both. don't get me wrong......I like the way it came out, but this one aspect subtracts from the overall apearance of the model. the wing was a bit warped.....but looking at the finished model, I was correct that it wouldn't be that noticeable in the finished model. it was fun adding the cockpit, even though it's just the basic....anything is bettter than staring into an open cavity the machine guns were another fun thing, even though the plane went into service near the end of the war, and most were not fitted with them {mine is going to go down fighting}. an open cowl without an engine was blasphomy!.........even though it doesn't stick out as far out of the opening as I would have liked, it fills the openness perfectly flying models......if you intend to fly them, does tend to leave out some detail.........could be that it might make the model harder to balance. but as a static model, one can go totally mental in adding the most trivial of detail, to arrive at a more complete representative of it's subject. I feel I did that.........not 100%, but enough that it will sit on display with my other models I like it........and I'm glas you all agree!

popeye the sailor Posted May 10, 2023 Author #80 Posted May 10, 2023 touching ! again, I thank you all for your concern. might be coming to an end, 'cuz I'm starting to get that nagging feeling. I do have something in mind, but I'm having trouble finding 1:25 scale conspicuity tape {decals}. I won't say it's impossible John........the M&M Fun Ship was a 'seat of my pants' build. the moment must have been right for it though, because thinking up all the ideas for it was so easy and without any real thought. it also went together faster than any project I have done in the past. the Andrea Gail was the other really fun scratch build........no one would ever know that the basis for her was the Boulogne estapale {Billing kit}.........Jeepers, I still have the rest of 'em to complete! I'm glad to see your well....and I hope your admiral is the same......tell her I sez Hi browsing though sites, I saw garage stuff kits........made me think of you Gary. your Auto repair and Mack boxes are really cool where I have been mess'in with HO buildings, I had an idea to try something along those lines, although at a much larger scale it's not a moot thought yet.........one never knows. I have a couple of life projects to do in the meantime {auto & home}..noting that involves blood {I hope}......and then.......
