Steel Penguins braying

Thanks Kit, if its a known issue, I can cope, I just have to improve my game.   the Ali ts sound very useful, I will have to have a think, and see if I cad duplicate them on the cheap, possibly without the double sided tape

I've used R/C servo mounting pads in the past, Aeroclub's prices for the double-sided were a tad pricey for me.

Have a look at the local DIY or office supply store for something similar to Scotch-brand indoor mounting tape.

After a fair old rummage yesterday I found some "Vacform Modelling - a new approach" by John Adams that I downloaded eons ago, it will eventually help me with my vacform Vickers Windsor...well maybe 

No longer available direct, but it's on Brit Modeller    Hope it's of use

That's a real tour de force on vacform modelling, written by a master of the art!

John mentions his 'Tee-Al' stuff in there too, I spelt it phonetically of course.

Have a look at my mini-teach-in on vacform sanding Lawrence. It's embedded in my Welkin III build thread here :-

   thank you Kit,  it seems im doing fairly right and correct,  if cutting the collar round the parts a little large.
I just have to be careful, or my arms feel like there going to drop off 
I am progressing, although  slowly,  but most importantly, im having fun doing it.

.........which is, after all, the whole purpose of the exercise!

[Steel Penguin]

as I have said frequently
"if it aint fun. I ant doing it!!"

the day this hobby stops being fun, I need to seriously sit down and look at what im doing.
and probably find another hobby.

but at the mo, its fun so  onward!!

You, together with Kit's "how to" are also encouraging me to have a crack at one of mine 

[Steel Penguin]

its a rare moment I can be held up as a good example   

but please join us, the worst that can happen is mutual commiserations at a future show

Been there, done that............

'Have you finished that '213253;lrtyjo45i' yet?

'You HAVE TO BE JOKING! It's a load of rubbish, I sanded off so much of it that there was nothing left to build!'

ive managed to free another wing surface from the primordial plastic    im feeling rather pleased.   it sits very well dry fitting against the other ive done, so the will be glued a little later 

and I got a big multi pack of wet and dry yesterday, so ive not got one sheet of fine

[Steel Penguin]

in between animae  and more sanding ( all wing parts now free one wing assembled and puttied, one just gluing) I have been busy plotting and visiting
plotting, I have a ticket for  https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/whats-going-on/events/free-airfix-talk-the-v-bombers-and-airfix-ki/       airfix doing a talk at cosford, I intend to make notes, and ask questions,  1:48 stuff,  especially vehicles, and why no crew in the op Herrick helos? 
and visiting http://www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/whats-on/tv-puppets-icons-80-years-entertainment/    they have a Lady P, and parker, captain grey, fozzie bear, in one section, and a load of the smallfilms characters in the other, including Bagpuss, the mice ( and mouse organ) Clangers, the soup dragon, and some of the Ivor the engine art and parts.

Back from Cosi.
I must do a TSR-2 in a JASDF  scheme either one of the modern blue / grey ones.  Or something like the computer game scheme with a giant character across the wing tops and tail ( similar to the cobra helo gunships from this link (   https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&biw=1822&bih=1012&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=hYSNWumjHdCtgAbchbbwCA&q=4th+anti+tank+helicopter&oq=4th+anti+tank+helicopter&gs_l=psy-ab.3...3657.12563.0.12898.20.18.2.0.0.0.138.1488.13j5.18.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.8.713...0i24k1.0.XrVnVmZgpmU     )
