Official Ho229 Group Build

MAJ Mike

Some progress on my HO.  After bragging on the ease of construction and the fit, the nose section/engine intake module goes on badly.  Extensive sanding/filing and filling will be necessary.  Photo to follow.

In Memphis, will return to San Antonio tomorrow evening. Will resume work in the 1/72nd HO229 this weekend.

My thanks for the kind sympathies offered to my Lovely Bride on the death of her father.  He's in a better place and is, perhaps, evn smiling for the first time in years.

SEMPER MOJO.

If we found the HO it would need cracking.

Vance... Vance did it....

Ya'll MOJO's need to find the missing HO...

sorry forgot to add the pic....these are the joints that all Dragon Ho-makers will encounter.....Mike...when you do yours.....make sure you add something underneath to strengthen that joint....I assure you it will crack at least twice before you finish the Ho if you dont...

Oh and notice the nerve tonic in the backround.....that also helps..

I usually crack my HO's six or seven times before I get 'em right...

Chuckle..........

Since my pancreas won't allow me to drink, I'd have to take an additional "happy pill" to overcome the horror and remorse over the Carlos' wounded HO.

My Dragon HO229 should arrive by the end of the month from our new Chinese Overlords.  The Revell HO229 is a good prep for the larger scale.

Here's what Vance has been up to this week:

Made from an empty milk bottle and a tube of toothpaste.

Comment offered with the greatest amount of respect.

 

Of course! 

That soap reference was too easy to pass up!

I'm just too easy (in several ways).

I was referring to our brave Vance, who despite the ridicule he receives not finishing the HO, having the Gadget get stuck in a labor dispute, still makes the supreme effort to stay in Moncton to get U bleeping 2 to sign the Gadget! Although, now you mention it, I could use some cleaning up!
