NAM!!!!! that Zero just makes me feel all warm and woozy inside!  What a great gift!

What's this about Bondo and Bung pullers? Did he get mixed up again and use a plunger on the outhouse?

 I can't believe I slept so late!  Wow musta needed the rest. Only have 4 hours and it's back to work with me again!

Thanks Desi

Frankie......I saw that pic and almost fainted! Deleted the post almost immediately! (Not fast enough for you though!)

The file I accessed was leftover from experiments!

(I think!)

Glad you liked it David!

For a second there, it looked like a P-47!

The rum (gin) cup is full.........

Here is the excellent Hasegawa 1/48 A6M5c Zeke I rec'd from the XO!

Also got a cool set of tweezers and a bundle of Handy-Tack!

Thanks Frankie!

Tis just a mere flesh wound! Comeback here! I'll bite your knee you coward! I like that movie too!  Just got a PM from the CAG!  Poor fellow is busier than a one legged Rooster in a hen house full of chickens in heat.

Ni! Ni! Ni!

While I am glad to hear from CAG, what did you expect? He's had the nurses longer than anyone else! I'd be busy too if I had my furlough extended with those bits of eye candy!

   Ever feel like your completely spinning your wheels at the bench and not making any progress? I'm kinda there at the moment. Last weekend, I'd finished painting and sludge-washing the inside of the wheel wells on the Super Bug. Pulling the masking off, and there was some bleed through. Of course I don't want to undo what progress I'd made here, so I'm trying to clean it up as best I can. Just seems to be taking alot longer than I figured. I also want to get a good portion of the main assembly done this weekend too, while I have the extra time off. But so far I've had a chance to dry fit some of the parts together, and it looks that seem filling should be minimal (knock on wood). I'll try to get some pictures posted sometime in he next couple of days...

By the way.  What is the airsped velocity of a swallow? 

THERE HE IS THERE"S THE BEAST.  What behind the bunny.  IT IS THE BUNNY.

Trivia question: "What is the most common term in the GB Forums?"       Answer: "Better late than never!"

Does anyone have a color reference picture for the Devastator TBD-1 office area ? I know the base is chro ~ green , looking to add some color or pop to all the knobs and whizzer things.    

I fear those nurses are the reason for the CAG's absense!  I hope so, anyway...

Hope things slow down for him soon so he can relax a bit.  Thanks for the report Mac!

Nam- I am so glad we were able to solve your picture posting woes!  I'll be looking for a full build report soon Mister.  Now put some rum in the cup o' Joe and get to it!

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Actually, my answer should be "Better late than EVER!"

(Thought I'd beat you to that one Aaron!)

Trivia question:

"What is the most common term in the GB Forums?"

Answer: "Better late than never!"

I canna find the bung puller! (No Mr. Bondoman! THAT is not a bung puller!) I smashin open a cask wit' a belayin' pin. 'Tis cause for celebration this day!

Last watch I hads communiques wit' the XO and First Mate Haligan! Theys helped me to solve me picture postin' woes!

Right now I be arrangin' me PeeBucket files so's I kin find a pic whens I needs it!

So have a rum! Expect to see hints, tips WIPs and general modelin' nonsense here, the SBD build thread(when I locates it) and the Pearl Harbobor and Weekend Madness GB's!!!!!!!!

AiYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 Tis just a mere flesh wound! Comeback here! I'll bite your knee you coward! I like that movie too!

 Just got a PM from the CAG!  Poor fellow is busier than a one legged Rooster in a hen house full of chickens in heat.

 Darren ask me to pass on his best wishes that you all had a great Christmas and say hello to you bunch of Pirates!  Seems he may be tied up with his duties for the better part of the coming week but he will be keeping a weather eye out so mind your manners there especially Bondo and Nammy!  A man with his responsibilities  cant keep taking the time to fish you out of the local pubs when we need to put to sea! 

 Said thanks for the Christmass gift and how original it was for someone to send a paper plane for him. ( Can you say frugal?)

Not much else to say but goodmorning! Good day! and Good night!

Roger, I have to tell you that I have been thinking of a reason to build that Spitfire  perhaps it's the huge desert intake that sets it apart, but it's very cool and the clipped wings.

Oh, I hear ya, Roy! That's what caught my eye too! I did feel kinda silly having to mop up all the drool on the Hobby Lobby floor afterwards though. All those little old ladies staring and shaking their heads at me.......
