Got a bit more work done on the Cessna and started a new model... a Borg cube! I should be done with it pretty soon. I mean... it's just a cube, how difficult can it be?!   ;)

I'll just say..... it's.....  "not a kit" and is being scratch built.  ;D ;D ;D    It's also not a Kit, and not wearing a hat!  ;D

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

All done!! BORG CUBE, undetermined scale. Scratch built.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Did you forget to put water in with those noodles?  :wacko: ;D

When I was working in a kitchen one of the cooks went outside for a little smoke of something herbal. He came back in and was utterly useless for the rest of the day. We kicked him out when he burnt the spaghetti.....

HowEVER did you do that Brad?  :o

It was surprisingly involved. It would up being 5 bricks of ramen. I PVA glued 4 of them together in a "pinwheel" fashion to get a reasonable hollow square then the 5th brick of ramen split longways through the middle, which wound up being helpful. I used those pieces (after sawing them to proper size with a hacksaw) for the top and bottom plates. In the inside I reinforced it with wet toilet paper slathered around in the interior like wall paper... for structural support. Otherwise I just poured PVA down through the joins and stuff and made a sort of "net" of a solid bead of it around the outside to create a single "piece" of pva wrapping around the whole thing. At various points I also sprayed the thing with water for general adhesion. At one point it spent about 45 minutes in the toaster over on 250. Then I painted it. A little grey, green, and black...  lol

Does it have lighting embedded within?



I had considered that! It would make for a decent lamp and is surprisingly sturdy. In fact, I knocked it over and it tumbled down a full flight of stairs and it didn't damage in the slightest.  :o ;D

HAAA!!! I don't think I've ever heard of anyone burning spaghetti. That's upper level dumb.  ;D

I'm seriously impressed with this Brad C but can't come up with a suitable pun.
