I don't usually go on a youtube spree unless I've had a few pops, so the odds aren't good for me ever clicking on a youtube link lol.

Alright....now that you've reminded me that I've already seen it ( head injury lol ) it's time to get back at it !

yes -- you're right, I need to finish this project but right now I'm working 6 day weeks and 11 - 12 hours a day. I just don't have the time right now but I've been told things slow down through the winter so that is probably the best time to concentrate on it. Plus try not to start any other new things that I get thinking about ---- $:-\$

Alright then, if you're not going to show us more pics of this then it's time to start taking more at work

I can only imagine how busy it would be right now, like somebody said a few weeks back " August, it's the Sunday of summer "

And you're not alone with the new projects.....too many ideas, too many new kits, and this place sure doesn't help any !

I've been made the " I/C " escort on a project for the last five weeks, I have to be the first there and the last out. The last out depends on when the contractors want to finish for the day

By pure chance I was recently given a copy of In The Wet and have been intrigued by the Ceres - not to mention the timeline! - and was looking up info on the Atlantic, only to stumble onto this thread!

You've done some amazing work, I hope you're still chipping away at this.

By the way...how do the engines work?

Thanks Zac, it's one of those long term projects --- I tried to get it done in a GB on BTS earlier in the year but real life got in the way ---- again.

I've been working on & off it though, mostly where I'm working out the wing to fuselage connection with AutoCAD, but I keep coming up with thoughts like " I wonder what they had planned for this on the real project" because I can see it wouldn't be a connection like on the Vulcan, the two fuselages have different fuselage center lines to the wing chord center line for instance, and I can see just using a Vulcan wing connection just wasn't going to happen --

At least you're still working on it ! Or were, as it were.....
