Gondor's Grumblings

[Gondor]

Nice to hear that the MoJo is back in full flow and the work in progress shelf is getting some serious attention. Sounds like you'll have completed builds popping up here frequently in the next few weeks  .

I take it the P177 will be a 3 sqdn special with that bright green tail ?

That it will be Thorvic though you will have to wait for the full back story to find out exactly why.

I thought I would add a few pictures to show what I did with the Spitfire Propeller as mentioned in an earlier post.

First a picture of what the front of the Fuselage looks like after the work was carried out, you can see the white plastic card used to adapt the difference in size between the new propeller shaft and the plastic tubing for the shaft to fit into as the plastic tubing is smaller on the outside than the diameter of the hole in the front of the fuselage 


And a view from the inside to show what is behind the previous picture which shows the tube for the new propeller shift


And here is a picture of the rear of the propeller showing the new pin acting as the new shaft.


And finally here is what the whole thing looks like in place.


Although the end result is not much to write about I have posted it so that others can use the information to perform similar work themselves.

I have a job interview on Wednesday afternoon, I didn't even apply for the job 

Some employment agency contacted me and asked if I was interested, which I am even though the distance is a bit further than I would ideally travel the work looks like stuff I have done and can do so I think things are looking promising.

I didn't get the job, however the experience was worth it.

Shucks! They don't know what talent they've missed out on Alastair.

[Captain Canada]

Bah. Glad to hear you got something out of it tho !

[Gondor]

It's been a while since I updated this, had another job interview which I really wanted to get but didn't get, ho hum 

Modelling wise next to nothing has happened until today when an aid package from PR19_Kit arrived. Should help me finish one model for the Scottish Nationals at Perth in a week's time, so no pressure there then!

I had thought of trying to finish three other models which I have on the go and on the bench but they all need more done that just a little painting along with a few sub assemblies attached so they will have to be left to show off at Glasgow later in the year.

Keep plugging away at the job hunt and the modeling.

[Captain Canada]

Bah, sorry to hear about the job situation. I'm sure the right one will come along ! And ah, those nagging models that just need one wee bit or another eh ?
