A strange hobby for a girl

Elizabeth Jane

Hello guys

The connection between Zombies, Death, Ghosts and Benny Hill - they're all horrible.

Manstein's revenge - "She hasn't posted since Feb 1---way to go guys!"

Doesn't mean I don't drop by every once in a while to see how things are going. I have just been promoted at work and it has taken time to re-balance work and pleasure.

 

p38ji - "I bet she's busy building !!"

Spot on - I am (or was).

 

My plan was to build a Revell Dumper Trailer to go with the truck that I built but everyday life has a habit of getting in the way so I decided to go for an easier model and to get a touch more practice at the same time.

I got a model Concorde off ebay that looked quite easy, then my jaw hit the ground when I saw the transfer sheet but I really enjoyed building it. I couldn't believe it didn't come with a stand so I made one from an old 'helping hands' tool and an aerial off a CD player. I have already taken the pictures, I just need to upload them to Photobucket (I will try and do that later today) and will post them in the Aircraft section.

Assessing Benny Hill as being on the same level as zombies and death says much about the show and it's creator's legacy.

Happy to learn you are still able to build during a busy time.

Sorry to hear about the lack of a Concorde SST model stand.

Unfortunately, I have learned from past experience that manufacturer stands included with airplane models did not always provide a stable platform for the kits- especially if cats and dust wands exist in the same domicile.

I used to love watching Benny Hill.  He was hilarrious.

I don't thing any company put out a more substantial and stable stand than the old Aurora kits.  That big tripod like design with the girder looking vertical.  Those things could handle a LOT of weight.

I , too, miss the Aurora stands.......

...........and the triangular shape made nice Sci-Fi parts, too !

BTW.......this may not be quite a " Martha Stewart " home decorating tip, but if the Revell Dumper Trailer project doesn't finish up quite right it may yet serve some usefulness as a kitsch

Winning!

.........yes..........

Don't really understand the last two comments but if anyone is interested ...

I have posted the photos of my second model - Concorde, in the Aircraft section.

the "winning" was a reference to Charlie Sheen and the "...yes..." was a reference to Manny's oh-so-very-helpful remarks

Concorde ?? humm.... ( must go look..  )

I know that Cats can be used as dust mops but you're saying they won't work as a dust wand? Not even just the tails?

Cats squirm too much........

Not if you use sufficient duct tape.

I knew you couldn't resist our irresistable charm and wit for too long...

 

...an acquired taste!

I swear my cat can read.  He saw that message and stared at the computer, then hissed at it and left the room.....

If your cat left the room under his own power you certainly didn't use enough duct tape.
