Three Is A Magic Number.. **DNF**

[Arcwelder]

I stayed up far too late, had a few too many bevvies and as a result had to get out of the house in a tearing hurry to get to work this morning.. so no progress pictures till I get home. I got the wings on and some monofil attached. I'm almost afraid of how bad it might look. Play resumes about 2.30 and it'll be a sprint for the finish

[Arcwelder]

and we're back

This was how I left it last night..



And as we are now.




A minor backset: my GF informs me that we're having folk around for dinner at six, which shaves two hours off my build time. Therefore I'm going to bodge the rigging.. it won't be close to correct, but it'll look like wires. This is going to be ugly, but, dammit, I'm going for it.

Tune.

[Arcwelder]

Sod.

I've been called away by SWMBO, so this'll be a DNF. I'll wrap it up in a build thread.

I am disappoint.

Airport wifi thang going on. I hate slow internet. No matter. When it all goes wrong… just tread water.



I don't care what anybody says. That's easily the best track from 3 (sic) Feet High and Rising. Cracks me up every time. "It's me said Mr. Squirlllll"…

Bad luck Arc. Better luck next time. I have a feeling you'll be back

[jssel]

Sorry to hear.

Oh fiddlesticks eh!

Ah well, you're not far from the finish. Post up pics once it's done.

[Arcwelder]

Thanks guys. I'm annoyed with myself. Reckon I might just have squeaked over the finish line if I'd paid heed to my schedule. It's sitting there glaring at me with bits of rigging line sticking out all over the place, so I'd better finish it off..

We all have failures. I once built a Dragon 1/48 Me262 for a blitz, without any problems. Then I tried to build a new tool Airfix 1/72 P-51D and it all went wrong. I think I lost half the undercarriage and had to abandon. Shtuff happens. Don't worry about it. It's supposed to be fun. Messing stuff up is a lot of fun.
