The Waffling Wombat

OK, so this is where I'm at (see if you can spot all of the other annoying things that went wrong today, apart from the disintegrating decals);

















Landing gear hatches not fitted yet'





Right, that's it for tonight.


'Night all!

I wish mine would come out that nice! Well done!

[Old Wombat]

Thanks, mate!

I guess having to wait gives me a chance to fix some of the things that went wrong yesterday (scratches, paint issues ... bloody decals! ... etc.) over time.

From the carnage comes beauty 😍 
Very very nice matey 👍 😁

[Rick Lowe]

Nicely done.
Warped prop blade at One o'clock & scratch above the Port exhaust stacks?

Thanks heaps, Phill!

Oh, there's still carnage, ol' son, but now I can take a bit more time fixing it.

She'll never win any competitions but I can live with that.


Thank you, too, Rick!

The prop blades are fine (actually one of the better props I've seen/used), but the scratch ... let's call it what it is ... the gouge above the left exhaust stacks is one of the worst offences.

Paint it silver, call it a Near Miss and you're all better!

Paint it silver, call it a Near Miss and you're all better!

Tempting!

I have had an email back from SAPMA about an issue I had registering kits for the Expo - My error, I missed that there was a cut-off at midnight last night.


Anyway, they have said that I can bring some items for "Display Only", which is fine by me ... It means I can bring a few of my more "thought-provoking" models along.

I'm thinking the Winchester may make another appearance, my Ukrainian Merkava IV ... Actually, the choices abound! I'll have to think on this after dinner!

Oh there's always carnage...it's the timing tho which is most important 🙄 🤔
As in most cases tho..the timing ain't right   

[NARSES2]

That's looking really nice mate 

[Old Wombat]

Thanks, Chris!

I'm fairly sure the Report Card would read "Could do better."

I'm fairly sure the Report Card would read "Could do better."

Yea, but teachers always said that, even if you got 5 Stars

Ain't that the truth.

My mother says "more haste, less speed".
And she's usually correct.

It looks great considering the time you did it in.    

So how did you gouge it?  If it had been me it'd be when I was hurriedly clearing paint out of the slot for the exhaust and just grabbed the knife which fell closest to hand rather than using something better that wasn't immediately visible.  Well, that's what usually happens anyway...
