As I bored you all with beach pictures earlier, I’ll add that 19° is positively warm compared to the temperature of the sea around here — 16° today, said a site I just checked.Maybe swimming if the water temp has gone up. Two weeks ago, it was 19° C and that's too cold for these old bones...
Thanks Jim! I just hope it works out in the end. The break was nice too...I'm impressed with that Allan. Well thought out and the end results seem fine. Have a nice break.
Great to see you Richard and a late congrats to you too, my friend. I hope to get some more dicing and slicing going, but right now I feel like I'm living in the house next door to you. Over 30° and the humidity is murder. Fan doesn't help and wearing the optivisor is impossible at the moment. More silly pics will follow too Wabble...Thought I heard school chairs shuffling in the distant yonder and decided to investigate...blood everywhere...chopping slicing...the glint of a cleavers edge. You've already started the cutting process Allan. Don't know how you do it with the cleaver but very neat and well planned. Making a plane float I see even got the rabble to pose in pyjamas. Going to rummage for my old Fruit of the looms and join in.
I'll blend in by the time you get back
Cheers,
Wabble
Thanks Buddy! The top sheet is 0.13mm and I have rolled it to form it. Heat would only melt it through. I have an idea to get the front curve to match the outer wings. The biggest prob is getting the sheet glued to all the under frame mounts at the same time and it holding. Oh, the joys of scratchy...Just caught up with this Allen......wowzer Sir!! You have been a busy boy. Loving the wing mods so far. And an excellent fit on the "rads" (not wheels) in the wing. I'm curious as to how your leading edge radius is going to form up, it looks pretty tight to me.....might try softening the plastic when the time comes to form it around that rod. A little stress relief might be helpful.
Not boring at all Jakko! Up in Thüringen, the water temp hit a high of 21.8° over the weekend. Of course the ocean takes a bit longer to warm up. In late July, it should be just right for diving in to cool off...Without having a heart attack...Very interesting and nicely built

I tried Bro, and the whole weekend, I ended up drinking 4 Seidlas of Pils. I had some serious gastric disturbances in the intestines, so I had to be careful I didn't explode!!! A good time was had though...Have a great time mate have a few cold ones for me.
Oh i say hello sailor.Look more camp then a row of pink tents.Evening all,
Yea, just when I thought the head was clear and work could resume, real life threw some more BS at me. The mojo was flying, but once again, the brain was dead. After 4 days at the lake last weekend, I finally got the melon cleared out and life is back to normal, or I can only hope so.......Some retail therapy, with a big fart, also helped, But now the heat is back and making life miserable to work at the table (over 30° C every day). I can't win...............
I am really sorry I haven't kept up with all the great builds going on, so I have a bunch of work ahead of me. There are two things that that were most important on here and I apologize for not commenting further on them.
1. It was great that to see thatNoahGarry had his OP and is on his way to a speedy recovery and I do wish you all the best Buddy...Please take care of your self and no running around naked in the garden celebrating, as it's still Winter outside!!!...
2. My good friend Mr. Smiff hasn't hacked up any more cute little Yorkies to make pudding for his Sunday dinners. Thank you Sir and I also see you are into yet another wing thingy build........There's no hope Andy!!!
I'll give Andrew, the washer, my best later on this evening, along with some others on here. Still can't believe Olderthanme glued his road wheels on, upside down either..........
I know you have all been bored here on the Mole waiting for an update. I have done some more on this, but didn't take any pics. So, before the waffle gets too deep, I will leave you with a little entertainment to keep you amused. The usual Rabble doing their best rendition of the old song "Walk Like An Egyptian"........................

You know who you are, so I won't put your names here!!! I also heard, The Bangles have hired a lawyer to sue for damages too............
Prost and lotsa ketchup to do
Allen
Good to be back Neil. I just hope the BS stops and I can get back to doing what I love. I take it you are back on the Insel now. How was Cali???...Good to see you sir!
Hey buddy, you know how how it was back in 1917!!!...Or???Oh i say hello sailor.Look more camp then a row of pink tents.
Rich
Thanks Jim. It's been a rough time on the mental side lately, but the time at the lake really helped out. Now it's time to get building again my friend...The wanderer returns - jolly good.
Uhhhh, Mr. Smiff............Whatchu talking about Buddy??? You lost me here Andy and what's a riveit???...Devonish???...Ooh are ya,ooh are ya?!...
... That Golden Riveit must be there somewher e?!!
Thanks Andrea. I always believed that if you lose your sense of humor, you have lost everything...Oh, and that nice picture of your clean workspace (even with the full trash can) isn't going to get you into Jim's TBC any time soon!!!Glad you are back on the saddle with your good humored posts. I was feeling sthg was missing during my roaming through the forum.
Hey Bro!!! Good to see you back and start saving your cash for October. I have gotten into this theme after building the Wingnut Wings Halberstadt and all the research involved. The Zeebrugge book I bought truly fascinated me and my dive into WWI float planes. Nobody Makes an Albatros W.4, early or late, in 1/32, so I have to make my own. I have both WNW Hansa-Brandenburg float planes now, and Lukgraph will be at the show with his kit of the Friedrichshafen FF.33L float plane. One could say it's the best of 2 worlds, besides armor!!! Wing thingy's and Floaty things, all in one...Good to see you're still the same Allen, but what hit you to make such a conversion like this
Just kidding, looking good mate!
Hey my friend. It's been a long trip back to the living and I do feel 100% better. Damn heat is whooping my butt though. I have been trying to play with the Albatros and my Peggy. Needed an eye break from the Peggy though and I think I can now see straight again!!!At's right......smacked upside the kopffmeister! but wonderful progress in the "Egyptian Boogie" OK Bro, Vaca is ovah und it iss time to return to the task at hand!
