Flakmonkey's Scooter *FINISHED*

[Ian]

That's quite a collection of parts. There are nearly as many as the numbers of Sp****res and Se***res that have put in an appearance.

[ShaunW]

OK if you say it's a scooter then who am I to argue. Even though I've seen Quadrophenia umpteen times and have ridden a Vespa you know.

Anyway, it looks very nice.

There seems to be a Sp****re poking into shot though. That's not a bad thing as you don't see many of them these days. They just aren't that popular with modellers any more. Proper man's aeroplane. Perhaps there aren't any proper men building models nowadays.

I notice no mention has been made of the visit by the hairdresser. I bet you've got orange hair now or something. If so I can understand that you don't wish to talk about it. You can if you want to you know. We're an understanding bunch on here.

Smart looking scooter Flak.

What is the issue with the canopy?

I hope Ginger Daughter doesn't read that. Volatile. Very volatile.

What is the issue with the canopy?

Well…
The carpet monster grabbed it. Then I found it. By stepping on it. Crunch. The carpet monster should have been kept suppressed by the Spit****s and Sea****s doing fighter sweeps. But they were far too busy making each other cough, checking each other for hooks and childishly photobombing the Skyhawk. Steps have been taken.

Decals going on. Refreshments served.



DJ TVW back in the control tower. We continue.

[jssel]

Oh Oh! Steps were taken, things were done! Be afraid, be very afraid.

[ShaunW]

That looks very pretty. As I'm sure does the GD. Please note that I said orange hair, not naturally beautiful red which is just..well..beautiful - have I grovelled enough now? Some of my best friends have red hair you know.

[Ian]

Looking very good, mate.

[flakmonkey]

All the decals are on, not without minor problems. Flat coat drying.



The intake warning bands don't fit, the anti glare panel decal doesn't fit and the national insignia needs to be cut out around the bolted on refuelling probe. The first two really were my own fault as I knew I should have masked and sprayed those rather than rely on decals.



Some Lifecolor acrylic and a brush soon sorted it all out. The Spit****s were of little use, and are huddled in corner. Sniggering. Like children. Sniggering, camouflaged children. They will get their comeuppance.



Not sure what to do with the canopy. maybe pretend I lost it, because it's not like anybody here knows the true story. Yes, that's what I will do. Pretend I lost it.

She's playing some good stuff tonight. This is promising. We actually used to go and see these before we were married. If I knew then, gentle reader, what I know now…

So there is not an issue with the canopy as supplied - just user error then.

The Scooter is looking mighty fine (as is the TVW I expect ).

There seems to be a problem with the previous piece of music mate, it jumps about all over the place like the recoed is scratched!

I miss the Sp*****es

[Old_Tonto]

I miss the Sp*****es

I don't know Mike. I mean, Spitfires doing it - i think Flak has discovered a whole new genre of 'Specialist movies'. I'm not sure the world is ready for that.

Is it done yet?

[flakmonkey]

So there is not an issue with the canopy as supplied - just user error then.

Apart from my user error, it doesn't fit in the closed position. Otherwise, good.

Calling it done.









Wash up session, shortly, we have yet more insane visitors. FML.

The Tall Vegetarian Wife is in her happy place. Where she plays this a lot…

[mightymikeD]

That looks flipping great.. good job, that monkey.

[Ian]

Would look much better with the canopy closed.....

[jssel]

Terrific Build. Love the base also.

Well done.
