Alright! The nose section made it back from Canada safe and sound. I've mated it back to the fuselage and will be doing a couple of small fixes before I send it to SimonR.  You ready Simon? :D  B)

Hey, fantastic!
To what degree will you assemble components before sending off to SimonR (wings, etc.)?
Don't forget to cover the 'pit with that goofy cardboard protector I made, eh?

This is cool to see it back in your hands, Eddie.   B)

I was so paranoid about messin' that cockpit up that I covered it up as soon as I was done.There will be no tempting fate and I'm not stabbing myself again to ensure good fortune. ;)  :lol:

I want to add the third engine before I send it off, because I have to fabricate a thingamajig to button up the rear end.

Which is what I did tonight.( I know it's not much, but I found out today that I have to have a root canal after I broke a molar. They gave me some happy pills to take the edge off the pain and I don't want to screw things up right now) I used JHM's trick for tracing gear doors on clear tape. Instead of many hit and misses, I got my thingamabob made on the first try. Thanks for the idea JHM!!! B)

Woah best of luck with the root canal, Mr Miller. At least you'll be having more fun than I will during another day on the job. ;)

That little plate between the three engines really helps bring this build together! Excellent!

Eddie, nice addition adding the third engine. JHM's tape trick is awesome! I have used it several times now that he shared it :)

Sorry to hear about the root canal, Dentists are my biggest phobia! Hope all goes well.

Standing by... I'm not back in Belgium from my fact finding trip to the fleshpots of the Far East until Monday but after that I'm confined to barracks for the forseeable future so I'll have plenty of time to work on it.

Alright, it's on it's way. It's going by snail mail and then sea snail mail. ;)  :lol: The postmaster said it was going SBTC or Slow Boat To China :)  Either way, it's on it's way. :cheers:

Did you insure it? It would've been a shame not too, with that fancy cockpit. . .

Sorry, not on my budget. Massive amounts of bubblewrap are my insurance. :) If it does get damaged, all that will be needed is duct tape and superglue. :lol:
