well....seams filled...panel lines rescribed...engine covers ready( just need to sand those ribs down a bit....and I think I might be ready for some paint....of course those two pesky little connections between the cockpit and the engines broke again,,,,terrible connection....no strength....not enough surface to glue to....oh well....just another bump in the road on Route 229...

Amazing detail.  This will be a terrific model when completed.ToastWow

No kidding...makes Vance's look like a half-arsed twig and tissue paper effort.  Wait---that's what his is !!!

 

Re: Vance....maybe the National Endowment for the Arts gave him a grant because the Feds consider it art.

( So, he's Canadian. The Feds give money to every corner of the globe. Whistling Why not Vance ? ) Yes

 

 

Nah, *** or urine of some sort would have to be involved in order to qualify for such a grant...

 

Good Point !

"..ribbed for her...."   uhh noo I wont go there...

Surely by now Vance is done and Manny has started, right?

OK, in the interest of finishing the Ho, I have decided to only play on one team this summer. I am also considering sending my paper napkin version on a cross-country morale-boosting tour. By mail of course, like I have time to take it anywhere myself!

Wait, how are we supposed to mail this thing to Manny without disclosure on an address? Can we send it to the German consulate or something?

OK, let's go, I'm signing it right now.
