That's looking rather special (good "Special" not Razorlight "Special")
Has the TVW managed to find any alcohol or did you hide it all away carefully? This could turn out to be important.

Flak must have a 3D camera. The belts look terrific.

Biznizz jargon. Back in 1970 an Ad-man by the name of Jerry Delafemina wrote a book titled "From those Wonderful Folks who Brought you Pearl Harbor" in reference to a ad campaign he was developing for Panasonic. He was on the street without a lot of fanfare.
Press on Flak. Time is moving on.

Jerry had a bit of a career death wish with that one. The title of the book did, I'm afraid, make me laugh in that inappropriate way that was mentioned in another build.

Photobucket yet again refusing to load a page. It's worth what I paid for it. Pictures to come as soon as they have finished vacuuming and plug their server back into their single electrical outlet. And as I typed that, they did indeed plug it back in. SO here we go. The guy in front now has a home.
The "whatever it is that goes in there" tank has been built, seams removed, sprayed, washed, stained with spilled "whatever it is that spilled from there" and glued in place.
She found wine. You know of whom I speak. Joy returns to my life.

Reminds me of the immortal headline "March planned for May". Caused a fair bit of panic, that one. As is the imbecile client who asked for colour outer pages and b&w inners in their 12 page self cover. They've been thinking (debatable, but that's their wild claim). As it's not that much more for full colour throughout, why don't they have the whole (now completed) thing in full colour? I will tell you why matey. Oh yes, I will tell you why. This is, incidentally, the same client who asked for a 14 page self cover last November. Think about that.ShaunW wrote:Jerry had a bit of a career death wish with that one.

That looks super, it really does. It would look even better if you built the rest of the aeryplane that fits around it. Just to show us that it does really fit like. Not that we don't believe you. It would just be good to see the proof......
Sorry if I sound totally thick but what on earth is a "self cover" ?

Ta very much Ian. Of course I should have consulted Google before I demonstrated my ignorance to the forum. However, now that I'm comfortable with Mr Monkey's printing world jargon I would hope that he shows me new respect........

Rear seat in but invisible here because of my tape that's holding the frames together whilst the glue on the rear seat goes off properly. Kind of thing. Looks proper ghetto.
Refreshments have been served courtesy of… you know who. So you can imagine, gentle reader, what kind of refreshments we have been served with. She tries to undo me at every turn.
That sounded kind of… wrong. My sincere apologies. Backspace key is broken so sadly, it must remain. I had better play some music before I get myself into all kinds of trouble.

Re: Flakmonkey's BIG Blitz **underway… hmmm**
Not that I'm adding much to the chit-chat, but those HGW belts look pretty good ... I have a set each for the Wingnuts FE.2b and RE.8 but hadn't paid that much attention to them .... No, not for a Blitz ....

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Done what I said I would do with a couple of minutes to spare. Machine gun not fixed in place because it's going to interfere with building the rest of the thing.I'm not much on working features. Unless they're my own features.
They're fiddly but really worth the effort. Figure on a little over an hour for each seat thoughjRatz wrote:Not that I'm adding much to the chit-chat, but those HGW belts look pretty good ...

I shall now drink relatively profusely in order to blend in. I may even smoke a cigarette. The Tall Vegetarian Wife appears to have one, but my goodness it's very long indeed and I'm not sure I could manage all of that.
Play loudly.
