The Captain's Cabin- March on….

[Howard of Effingham]

ahh! captain but which sqn and what scheme and do I use voodoo grey?

beer req'd to help me decide 

must be time for a beer where you are, btw.

back tomorrow.

[Captain Canada]

I don't know who would have used them....but they would have looked good in ADC grey with some tail stripes. Any squadron I guess, since they all did it back in the day. Maybe 409 as a coastal defender ?

[Captain Canada]

Progress again ! The second T.10 is up on her feet with all pylons attached. The GR.3+ is progressing well, as well ?

Also.



Now to quit humming and hawing on the ords....

[Captain Canada]

Well, I've had my morning coffee, cleaned up the kitchen from another weekend of madness, so I think I'll have a 'me' day and get on with some modelling. 4 step plan :

1 Quick shower
2 Heat up some leftover homemade pizza ( potato and Vidalia onion )
3 Plug the laptop into the tele and watch 4 WSBK races I have downloaded
4 Model

Pics to follow !

[Captain Canada]

Not done as much as I'd liked to have done....but oh well. I've decided to try and finish up these Harriers and then get on with my life lol

Here's my setup today : WSBK from the laptop, a second laptop for research and general whatnot, my lunch, and some plastic ! The races were rather boring. Hasn't been a lot of excitement in WSBK this season. Must the headlamp stickers slowing everybody down lol

So you model on your living room coffee table without any protection on it ? And you are still in the land of the living ? 

[Captain Canada]

LOL yes ! The table and the double-wide glide rocker I sit in are in the hated corner....wife keeps threatening to throw them out ! The table is ruined anyway, so that really doesn't matter. Besides, paint splatter, cuts and glue marks add character to it !

This out basement family room, so it's no big deal. We rarely have guests down here other than the kid's friends, or my drunk buddies to watch bike racing or hockey.

[Captain Canada]

YeeHaw ! Finally got a few pics up. I would do more but it's too windy outside, making for a hassle as bits blow around.

It's an S-61 Fest! 

[Captain Canada]

Yes....but not nearly as bad as Harrieritis 

[DogfighterZen]

Great looking couple you've got there! 

[Howard of Effingham]

not bad. anyway todd harrieritis is not a nasty disease merely catchy! 

[NARSES2]

They do look nice Capt 

[Captain Canada]

Thanks Chris !

I know I'm supposed to be concentrating on my Harriers, but....I'm a little distracted with the IIHF semis, as well as the first game of the NHL conference finals, so I'm ship day dreaming. I just had out the Airfix Falklands trio ( three different ships with three different wee choppers tee hee ) and put that back. Then I dug out the old box scale Revell Atomic Crusier USS Long Beach ( lots of whif potential but a new chopper needs to be sorted, the kit one is bad ! ) and then put it away. Then I got out the Airfix Victorious. Not a bad kit, but still bummed that the box art shows Wessex' and Buccaneers. Even tho the Skyradiers, Scimitars and Vixens are cool, come on....anyway, all of those boxes are put away again and now I'm onto Renwal Shangri La, Revell Sea Shadow and Revell USS Hornet. Think I might write a few notes inside the boxes if any ideas pop up



Or if anybody here has one

[Captain Canada]

Ok, back to Harriers. I'm thinking of grafting a Duck hull onto a GR1 or 3 or FRS.1 and making a SAR type. Might be a wee bit impractical but I think it would be an asset at sea and it sure would look cool !
