Regia Aeronautica GB II (06/15/09 to 06/15/10)

Sean, that is one serious workbench. Geez, even with a 13 yr old there it looks tidy. Yee gads you even have a plumbed in paint booth. Man your some sort of a proffesional. Im in awe, big boy

...Guy

Ha - I am not making much progress today. My workbench has been invaded by a 13 year old. Hey least he isnt eating everything in the house. He recieved this Academy Space Shuttle and 747 Transport from a Generous but known Prankster here on the forum.   He is having the time of his life assembling landing gear.

I wish my eyes were still that good.

The RA G-6 has it's gun blisters attached, andnose seams all sorted out.  The cokpits are mostly finished and installed- just need to finish the shoulder harnesses.  I also glued the wings on, and have to wait for them to dry before I remove the tape for photos.  Hope to have some tomorrow.

Wow, a good dose of Deja vu there. Didnt i read this before?

Dave, Glad that the G55 is coming on. The G55 is another MC.205 Lookalike isnt it? Good man that your still here though Sean. With all the other part timers, we need a good strong influence. Its all Daves fault regardless.

Frank, your taking your own sweet time on the twins fella. Im sure good things come to those that wait and im sure looking forward to an Italian Gustav. Have you got any more RA subjects that you may grace us with? I pm'ed Count MaCula and he has about a dozen in the wings. Which brings me to the question, Where the heck is he? I feel i should PM him.

So we'll ignore the 1st one from that obvious imposter. Geez to pretend that that was you Frank, the guy has some cheek. He had a really funny voice and everything, blurry screen an all. Not a chance. Was it  Dave? As we all well know, hes usually to blame.

Still no sign of the Count? I wonder if hes frieghting a load of money to the UK to help wih our Crapola economomy. (That was about the closest youll EVER here from me discussing politics)

Anyhoo, whos building anything. Ive not seen an update in yonks!! SEAN you must be ready to show us your wonders. Seeing as youve bottled the splotches LOL

Its the 20th today. All videos to be posted on the 1st of March. That way we can decide on the stipulations of each entrant. Oooh this is going to be good. ...Guy

Ahhh... missed that the first time too Frank.  The crazy bloke wants us all to post them at the same time soos we can all have a heart attack and die together. Then he'll visit all our widows and offer to buy our stashes for a pound or two!  Sly devil that one!

Nicely done Frank, thanks for the warning though. LOL You realise you were early with the vid. So no prize for you. You win the booby prize of having to put spinner spirals on a 6 engined Gigant!! ONE HANDED!!! Remember its the 1st of March Kids.

Dave, im wondering what sort of Helmet cam it is you wanted. Ooh err missus. Your right about Sean trying to bail out. NO WAY CHUMMY!! Its Daves fault!! Not yours!! No excuses, i NEED YOUR HOMEWORK ON TIME!!!

Wheres Count MaCula? Hes never around when you need him. Too busy tooting his whistle.

9 Days to Video Heaven

This project is going to cause a problem for me, I dont have any means of video. My Wife wants to buy me a "Helmet Cam" for my Birthday but that is not until May. I Fear the electronic world.

Sean, there have been so many times I wish I would have had a helmut cam.  Sounds like a cool idea for a birthday present.  As for means of video I'm sure you could come up with something if you really wanted to.  Almost all digital cameras have a video option.  I'm sure you could borrow one if yours doesn't.  Come on chappy... no excuses or Guy (who is Aces by the way) will give out extra homework.

Frank, wish you would have put that warning on BEFORE I watched the video!  My day is ruined!    I'm glad you wore your flannel though.  Don't know if I could handle anymore nakedness.

Sean- You're right!  I should have put up a disclaimer with it warning those with small children or medical conditions.  DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVE IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN OR MEDICAL CONDITIONS-THIS VIDEO CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGES!

First washes, and now video?  Why, you're becoming a man of the 21st century.

Frank - What if that video falls into the wrong hands. Small children all over the World will be terrified of the "Dude with the Magna Eyes"  Looks like you were having a hard time keeping a straight face.  Got a Bowl for your "New Pet" ? Well Done Blue Plane  Guy.

Thank you!   I removed my video so as not to scare Dave anymore.

As for your little videos, I like the wat Daves thinking. For example, Bondo will have to do his entirely in Italian, Frank in his optivisor, Aaron, ooh what can we say for Aaron. Also we have to think of something for Dave and Sean.

Its the 20th today. All videos to be posted on the 1st of March. That way we can decide on the stipulations of each entrant. Oooh this is going to be good.

Guy I was thinking along the same lines today. It is not really fair that we have vid of you in your birthday suit and you do not even know what most of the rest of us look like. I gave my video camera to my freind about 6 months ago. I was not using it and she uses hers to make a living so I figure it went to good use. Plus it is now a great excuse to buy a much newer and better one!

I think you need to set some rules or things could get a little crazy. Little things like pants must be mandatory for all videos [that mean you MacNeal]. Sobriety is optional any other little things you know. Yes Frank must definetly be wearing his optivisor. Now I guess I will have to go to the store and buy me a shiney new video camera.

OPPPS almost forgot! Guy is aces I whish I was his son.

How did you guess it was the Armor SATAN!! . I think hes just jealous of my BV 138 (Cue huge grin )

Im loving the mini me Frank in his Corsair. Someone has too much time on thier hands. Talking of which at work today, geez almost nearly didnt make it, i was side swiped by a white van man and i RIDE A MOTORBIKE!!!!. I explained the error of the chaps ways and carried on to work. Anyhoo at work, you snivelling dogs i came up with some retribution homework. Seeing as you all seemed to like my video i posted (And in some cases, scrutinised to intently) You ALL have to post a video. Subject irrelevant. You all post digy pics of models and all digy cameras have a video feature. Its just as easy to upload a video as a photo. I know as i did it for the 1st time with mine.

There, thats your homework....err Frank you have to have your optivisor on, thats a given my friend. Oh and Count Macula....No fishnets.

...Guy

P.s 1st to post wins a goldfish.

OMG Aaron what have you done! It appears as if you have chopped Franks head of, shrunk it down and jammed it into your Corsair cockpit! Oh Frank you poor old sod what a way to go. At least he is in a better place now. I mean really what else could be cooler than to be buried in a Corsair. You will be missed Frank. Unless Aaron can find some way to reattach you head.

Cant. Z update - Change of plan on the painting. That nice "olive Green" with the yellow cowls has grown upon me. I have decided to leave it, and save the Unique spotted job for the Caproni. I liked the idea of the Chi-202 with the spots, The Cant.Z plain, and the Chi-205 with Smoke rings all next to each other showing the different Regia patterns.

I was feeling adventurous this morning and futured the Cant Z with a second hand rebuilt airbrush I recieved in the mail this week. Worked like a charm Nope didnt test it, filled it and went to spraying the plane.

Way Funny and True ! 

 My absence? A fellow has to work sometime ya know? LOL Long night I just had.  Hopefully it is a sign the economy is getting better. Moved lotsa freight!

 Sean and Frank have me distracted with Corsairs at the moment. I still have plenty to do here though so I won't be progress free in the RA for long!

 I had a great time in the BOB GB! There was some really spectacular work there! I got to play with Susannah York and SC got teased by Herman Goering. Frank posted lotsa propellers and Bill evened seemed less cranky!  Guy got to sniff plenty of behinds as well!

 Uh Guy? Tell your bud that it will take more than your smexy ear ring and neck chain to sway me your way romantically! Nameless huh? I got it narrowed down to two! Bodge or the Armor Satan!
