PSR clears your kit, and your mind!

Doesn't have to be bad... Don't forget that you're talking to the fool who sculpted an F-16's DSI intake, and even tried to extend it's wings, with Tamiya grey putty...

PSR clears your kit, and your mind! 

Sure does, it's therapeutic, and i do find it rewarding when i finish a heavy duty PSR job and it looks ok, but obviously, i can find it boring at times.

No worries there, i use a mask for heavy sanding work, learned that before i got into modelling cause before i became a gardening singer ,i worked at a couple of carpentry jobs and that got me aware of the quantity of dust flying around that we don't even know we're inhaling.

Anyway, it won't be a real heavy PSR job on this one, the tails will be easy, the stabilators will require the most work, the rest are the gaps from the kit's bad fit on the wings' underside and weapons bay doors which, hopefully, will be taken care of tonight.

Reshaped the intakes and applied putty all over...



Also managed to spill a drink on my laptop and now there are a few letters that don't work...

Back in the old days when Mrs z and I worked in the same office she was IT Manager and SOP for a drink spill on a keyboard was to unplug it and rinse it out under a tap and then let it air dry.
IIRC the worst thing was hot drinks with sugar in as the sugar gummed up the works.
I wouldn't try rinsing out your laptop though.

Probably wont be a good solution for me...  It sucks, lost quite a few letters, have to get it fixed. Using the Windows mouse keyboard on the screen, takes forever to write anything. I'll have to reduce my comments to smileys till it's fixed.

Can you borrow a USB keyboard from someone?  That'll work as an interim.  Plug it into on of the USB ports on your laptop and Robert is your father's brother.

Been thinking of that, this really sucks and will be a while before it's fixed!

I do that with my laptop all the time, and USB keyboards are quite cheap, the Logitech one I use only costs £10-12.

You may have to go into the BIOS or somewhere else and disable he main keyboard though. Perhaps the 'Device Manager' on a Windoze PC?

[DogfighterZen]

Well, still haven't bought a usb keyboard and haven't done a lot but at least the first layer of putty has been applied on the YF-23 on every spot required, even inside the intakes. Just have to mentally prepare myself for the job.

But you like PSR so you'll do fine. I do too, some times, but sometimes it just pisses me off. 

Looking good!! Like the F-35, I've been trying to get ahold of one of these when I find a good one for the right price. Been getting inspired.

It'll be ok. I have to admit i'm in a modern jets phase myself, thinking of starting an F-22 and another F-16...

[TheChronicOne]

 


Man, can't have too many F-16s but I'd like to see a Raptor built up.  Maybe do that one first. 


As far as that goes... I think my entire time here at WIM I haven't seen anyone build one. . . 

[PR19_Kit]

Oh yes you can, one would be too many for me! I really detest the spikey things! 

But they make good donors for weird shaped bits for other models though.
