Fleet Air Arm Group Build

Well she is one to talk! I just caught her out walking the Doggy!

So I think she likes the dog more than me!

Sean do they have those kinda clubs in in the woods there?  They probably wear parka's!

Nice Jacket Dee Your doggy looks Very Happy

We dont have a dog but I did catch "Teach" sitting outside Grading "Summer School Paper's"

Poor Doggy, grass is almost taller than the doggy is.  Where's the lawn boy?!?!?!?!

Wife must've done a closet cleaning lately. can't find my favorite shirts? 

Wow Aaron, your a stringbag wizard. I look at your WIP pics and hear mine in its box crying softly. Im loving the flowery dress my friend. Are you wearing a thong? As you look slightly ill at ease!! I think Seans Hawiian shirt looks fantastic along with the helmet. Shear quality. But i feel Aarons Ensemble takes some beating. Im not sure that i have any flowery duds for a photo. Ill have to see if i can rob any of Geris flowery undies to see if that would do?

...Guy

Coming along swell, men! So far we are giving points for flowery things, military paraph., tattoos and dogs! What a mottley crew!!

AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

 Well I am wearing the standard sombero with a Hawain shirt that has Palm trees and tropical drinks on it. ( Thought it appropriate.) The pants have little rubber duckies on them covered Madonna style by a pair of boxer shorts with P-40's and red stars?  My foot wear is your standard steel toe Work boot and the Bazooka on the back is to fend off local swat teams.

The lawnmower is by Toro.

Dee is wearing a 1965 style combat fatigue with matching shorts and for some reason has rolled Namrednefs undies into headwear. The T-shirt is an old exercise uniform from the 1980's 24th Infantry division which gives her a whisper of the Trapper John look to gracefully suppliment Sean's Mash theme. 

Capt Bondo has a baseball theme going on with his face carefully ommitted no doubt to shield his identity from the authorities.

Teacher T just looks so dern serious!  Is that your new fence Sean?  With a white top and denim shorts to give a mountain girl next door feel to the group.

 Only thing I can add about Sean's pic is he is the only one showing legs that didn't shave em! But his Tatoo makes up for it!   A man who sensors his own arm!

Now who is next?  Guy? Ritchie? Dave? Frank and the optivisor? Perhaps a special appearance from Buddy. Talk is cheap gentlemen!     Times like this make me miss Nam cuz he would think of this as a normal attire.

Aaron - yes that is the New Fence and Gate.   I like the history and breakdown of yours and Dee's casual wear. Perhaps after Sunday I will show a picture of me looking the business in Uniform...

Any more entrys from the rest of the crew or they all asleep already from sneaking Capt. Bondo's Torpedo Juice ? I have news for you guys - he quit hiding it in the potty bowl. What you got is not what you think it was..

Aaron - I need one of those Bazooka tubes

You guys are scaring me...

I'd post a photo in an odd outfit with my optivisor on, but we all know the only outfit I own is that grey T-shirt, flannel, and jeans.

Small update on the Gladiator, Starting to assemble all the little piles of sub ~assemblys I have hidden out of harms way on the bench.

I hope to join the fuse halfs sometime this evening. Before I do I will go through both sets of instructions (kit & P/E) to make sure I have not forgotten anything.

Is this scary enough?

Waiting in a dark backyard near YOU:

ADMIRALMAN!

Why yes, those are my flying shoes and nvg's, why do you ask?

Excellent entry, your Admiralty! And an extra point for the powdered wig. Fine lot of a/c too; got the Mustang. Is that a B-17 or your hernia?

Mr. Lt. Simpilot, the gig is muttering steam and coal fumes, and wishes to cast off, tho I've nailed Mr. Bos'un Summits left gun powder room sandal to the deck and he hasn't figured it out yet. Listen, man this has been held over one day for you antipodeans, but damn yer eyes there'll be a final judging at 8 bells of the second dog watch this eve, if Paula ever wakes up.

Anything up down there?

 Hmmm looks like the Admiral is going out on a limb for the men!

Sean that pit looks like it could really be used to fly that thing! Very sharp indeed!

 Hmmm off to work with me again such is life. Grand ain't it?

6 Bells on the second dog watch, Mr. Simpilot. The Chronometer has been wound. Paula has returned from the head after that really inexplicable incident with the rum, but she's good to go.

The judging begins. Results may vary.

Transcript from the Captains Log, June 27^th, 2009.

The Captains mast will come to order, and would someone please pick Ms. Abdul up and prop her in the berth. Stop that, Mr.(muttering, laughter and giggling, the tape breaks here)

Randy: I really like the boxers over the pants, looks like he thought about his bum, wish we had a good back shot. Oh there we go!

Paula: I give him a point for the shirt, my other point for the pants, hat a point and the accessory is nice too, but it might hurt.

Simon: what a swine, the look is very Jimmy Buffett, but I give it three points, and a merit for the LAWS rocket. Paula, I wish I had one now and then.

Listener response: 4 points.

Captain Bondo: And the answer is " three points plus a good effort. That pair of knickers need a closeup for the detail.

Randy: now that helmet is nice, very Kosovo I'd say, but a little bold.

Paula.: what a nice tattoo, and hope there's more I can find elsewhere.

Simon: what a sot! But the legs make a statement, and the facial hair is a welcome addition. As for the shirt, indistinct but the shorts are original.

Captain Bondo: And the answer is " a point for being first, a point for the shirt, a point for the pot, even +/- on the shorts, and get a cigar. Plus a point for the art, total of four.

Listener response: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Randy: good god whats that up in that tree? And old to boot. Well an A for effort, and very nice rendition of that old song by Dan Watson "Last possum up a tree". The shirt is on topic for sure, easily the best of the bunch, but the presentation is a little, conservative.

Paula: "Daddy!!"

Simon: I am truly frightened!

Captain Bondo: and the answer is "a solid two, but the best shirt prize."

Listener response: YES SIR!!!

Randy: I really love this, I mean that's a nice looking companion for sure, and they seem so comfortable together.

Paula: I wish I could be held like that.

Simon; well if we were to even consider this, get plastic bags out. I think the performers mother needs to shave his legs next time.

Captain Bondo: and the winner is "Bruno the Datsun" for baring all and fearing none.

First runner up with mass points, Mr. Summit and Mr. SfMac each get a prize.

Thank you Admiral and as presenter of the best shirt, the next competition is yours to choose how and when.

A fine time men, women and animals. The XO and the CAG  no doubt are impressed with your spirit.

Yers, Captain Bondoman, USN whatever he can whenever he can.

Sean that office is looking great!!!! Looking forward to more pics!!!!!

Sorry I missed the deadline Cap'n!!!! I looked high and low and nothing that would come close to the other entrants!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS BRUNO!!!!!!

Ahhhh, @#$#$, I have to do the next contest?  Mumble mumble....

Came in last I did, but like Cap'n Jack, you have heard of me then..

And from all of my kids, grandkids, (all here today for that picture), and wife, when they saw the old fart up the tree, saying in unison ARE YOU NUTS???!!

Well, yes, why do you ask?

Congratulations to the winner, who should bloody well have to host the next drag-down.

Capt Bondo -  I believe I need another cup of coffee after reading the contest judges replys. I sure dont remember "Paula" and I would be more the welcome to show her the hidden Tat's..

Aaron  & Richie -  Thanks for dropping in and commenting. Here is a better view of the office with the I/P. The instructions call for it to mounted in front of the bracing - but when placed there it covered up the compass. So I placed it behing. You will never notice when the other half is joined as it tucks back under a little bit.

I still need to paint and install the sight .

Go Bruno!!!

Hmmm looks good enough to eat Sean. You sure have put loads of work int it.  I Got the prop in the mail today! Thank you! Now I can finally finalize the Gladiator!.

Hmmm interesting result! I have been beat out by that dern dog again!

Congradulations Bruno!!!  Only man on these forums that still looks good in his birthday suit!

Sorry I didn't contribute, but the only outfit I have that looks remotely appropriate would be my cycling jersey and you don't want to see me in the matching spandes bottoms.   We'll wee what the next contest has in store for us.

Sean, nice looking cockpit.  I'm stowing away the images for when I get around to my Airfix Glad as it has no pit details so keep the pics coming!

Dave - Thanks  Office work in 1/72 for a Gladiator .....Thats Crazy man... 1/48 is small enough on this plane for me  Ican copy the direction diagrams if that will help you out.

Ok - Here is a Picture of me in Official Uniform. Tonight we held the "Eagle Scout Court of Honor" had two boys recieve their  "Eagle Scout" award.

Speaking in front of a crowd takes a lot out of you, I need to go work on a model to chil~ax now.

Congratulations Bruno. You da man. Youd love it where i live. My neighbour breeds Daschunds and has about 20 of the yappy Bas###ds. My wingus and dingus just wind them up by sniffing under the fence, without barking a note.

Sean, that pit is looking great. The PE is great.

Congrats on the Eagle Scout stuff. I was a Cub, then a Scout when i was younger. The best times where had back then. If only kids today (Geez, you know your getting old when those words come out). would get into the scouts or cubs. They would love it im sure. As long as the Health and safety lobby hasnt burgered it for everyone. Top man for giving the time to do it.

Thats funny Guy

We use to live at this one house where the neighbors to the right of us had a Cat that would walk the fence daily to the neighbors to the left of us.  The neighbors on the left had these yapper type dogs that would go nuts barking. The cat would sit there and look at the dogs with a very smug look like he/she had accomplised someting for the day..

Hey guys and gal!!!! Been meaning to take some shots of a couple drawings I done awhile back to share with ya! They are both 1/72!! Enjoy!!

Just another hobby in the hobby of aviation.

Richie -  Those pics are Fabulous. Been more the just a little while back... 03 & 05 I cant even remember where I was without asking the Wife.

Speaking of which today is out 19'th Anniversary.. oops getting off track..

Richie did you take art classes during school or are you one of thos naturally multi talented persons ? Those pictures sure would look good framed near your work bench if you do not already have them there.

Thanks for "finially" Sharing them.

Sean- congratulations to the two of you! That's great, I'm very happy for you. We just passed 20 last Fall.

Ritchie- very nice drawings. I'm glad someone still picks up a pencil now and then.
