Fleet Air Arm Group Build

I watched the 40 year old.  Monday night I will watch Man on Fire.  Darson, I liked to AVP movie.  Not as good as the books but what movie lives up to the book?  Lord of the Rings perhaps.

As for the weekend, I have one and a half hours out of two still at work.  Life is rough for me.  i will have to pick up some drink on the way home, wine for the wife and brew for me

Well Roy! When you get to the temporary dial-up....you guys will find and extra tot here.

Hang in, folks!

I'm so jazzed about moving into the new house.  It has a basement that the wife said I can make into my hobby room  she has already make the remark that I'm not allowed to look at the Model Expo catalog for new tools until we move in. One needs to get the shopping list in order.

My weekend just barely started, hope everyone has a good weekend! 

Thanks guys for your comments on the case.  I won't actually get around to filling it for awhile as I am expecting lots of family for a visit over the Easter weekend.  Then I have to wait until June before I can actually set up in the Den as we have a international student staying with us until then.  In June the kids will switch rooms freeing up the den which is currently being used as a bedrooom.  In the meantime I have to finish the new bedroom so I don't want to set it up in there during construction.  My head hurts just thinking about it. Oooii!!!

Roy, I hope everything goes smoothly for you.  Two moves in such a short time is  just cruel.  Best of luck! 

Woohoo, it's the weekend!!!  Time for a tot o' rum... cheers!

Darren- A new kit, eh?  Very cool, I don't have one of those yet.  But, I did find a box from a favorite online hobby store at my doorstep yesterday...

I know, fell off of the wagon again...

But, I couldn't resist!  There's a FAW GB coming up in two weeks!  I just HAD to order that stuff.  Really, I did...

OK, so I am just trying to convince myself.

"Hello, my name is Frank and I buy a lot more models than I will EVER build."

"Hi, Frank."

Oh, well...

Dave- Sounds like you really have your hands full, as well as Roy!

Jeepers this crew tottled in quick! Usually good for more of a party, even if seen from the dock, on a Friday. Sleep well gents, and don't forget Roger!

"OK, Frank........would you like to share with the rest of the group?"

Bill,

have you heard from Roger lately? If you hear from him, tell him all his mates here are thinking of him.

"To our absent friend Roger...........CHEERS!"

OK, I bought a 1/48 Tamiya Mosquito Mk.IV, TWO 1/48 Tamiya F4U-1/2 Corsairs, and TWO 1/48 Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcats.  Whew!  I feel better now that I got that off of my chest.

I've done something.

Its baaaaadd.

I've bought another kit. I was in the LHS to pick up some H123 (EDS Grey enamel.) and it was there.......it was a beautiful thing. A 1/48 Revell F/A-18F in Diamondbacks CAGs markings!!!!!!

Its a new tooling, comes with a superb decal sheet and a full weapons loadout!!!!  

I had to have it! 

Now, I just need an excuse to build that bad boy in the near future.........whats that? A USN/USMC FAWGB is coming up? Oh my giddy aunt! How lucky am I?

Y'know I feel compelled to celebrate my good fortune.....this calls for a drink!!

I'sh see youss laaaterrrrrrrrr!

That is way cool!  A Hornet in CAG's markings?  Why, I don't see how you could have NOT bought it!  You know, that one would sure look cool on a display base getting ready ready to launch with the tail feathers fully deflected, figures on deck...

I am SOOO excited to see that one Darren!

Well lads, off to work.  Hopefully will get some time to build this weekend.  See you later!

"No really Officer-I am Tango 1!"

"Yes I am!"

"What do you mean Tango 1 would never drink Malibu?"

"Believe me son-I'd drink anything."

"I often partake a tot of John Daniels with my supper y'know."

"Excuse me?"

"Well, he may be Jack to you, but when you've known him as long as I have................"

MMmmmmmmm........................

Thats scary. Its like he can read my mind!

I can!   In fact, I had a secret camera mounted inside the Secret Workshop so we can keep an eye on you.  This way, if you try to, say, poke your eye out or something, we can alert the paramedics and dispatch them quickly!

From a ParaMedic point of view, that is!

Man, it's easy to judge when payday is around here!

Oh and btw........someone was building last night!

....and having a tot!

Blimey! You mean you can see my stash?

Yep, sure can! 

But, I will keep it quiet lest the location of the Secret Workshop be compromised.  Do not fear CAG!  Your Secret Stash shall remain secret.

Thanks X/O!

I got a delivery of my Quickboost resin exhausts for my Seafire. They look superb compared to the awful Revell ones. I still need to do some more work on the airframe before am am happy with it, but its getting there. 

CAG-

That Quickboost stuff is really nice, isn't it?  I have never used their exhausts, but have used a couple of their resin engines.  I must say, they are the dog's bollocks!

Darren-

I have a question...

WHile everyone is building FAW aircraft here during the next year, can we still build FAA aircraft for the GB?  I am really looking forward to building my Swordfish this year...

Yes, they certainly are!

Not much done in the workshop today, I've been busy in the garden. Yes-I was very careful out there!

Good heavens! Yes indeed you can still build FAA aircraft here! You won't be alone either........

Mmmm..........I don't know where my four days off went to, but they are over now. I feel like I haven't got much done but my three current builds are progressing even if at a somewhat slower than expected pace.

Hopefully, I get some more bench time soon. 

Sounds like everyone had a great weekend.  The boss is a slave driver  They asked me if I wanted to work an extra 6 hours this week, 3 Tues/3 Thurs and I said yes.  My life is so rough

I figure with the extra money I can get some more cool stuff for the hobby basement (notice, no new kits....hint, hint Frank)

Roy,

be careful not to burn the candle at both ends! I know what those long hours can do to a bloke!

Hope all goes well in youur new job!
