You darned Americans and your humour or humor as you can't spell

Haha yep, if you omit redundant vowels, it leaves room for funny

There are beading tools, they look like this:



they come in a variety of sizes, and have a hollow tip. One tap, instant recessed rivet.

Enjoy!

whoa.. looks brutal!..

The wooden palm-handle looks nice to work with too!

I'll have to check those out on my next excursion, looks interesting.

That's right kids! try your own junior labotomy kit today! fits snug in your palm to exert even pressure when punching through think cranial bone!

need inspiration? look no further than Smokin' aces 2 and watch how Vinnie Jones uses this to numb the senses and speech capacity of a torture victim! you get all this in a handy velour carry bag for only three easy payments of $19.99, that's right only three easy payments and this can be yours! say goodbye to those migraine headaches as you relieve the pressure of your loved ones at a fraction of the cost....

And if they buy one now not only will they get a second bonus set they'll also get a free set of head plugs to stop the leaking.

As a chronic migraine sufferer there are times I've thought about doing just that...

If it's anything like my migraines its almost like someone's already trying to...

LOL @ Nerd!
Oh..I don't envy you guys!
My deepest empathy!

I've never had migraines, but I've had some doozy headaches in my day, even after I stopped drinking. Now I just drink water everyday. Usually 2-4 liters a day, really helped get rid of he aches and pains. Used to take ibuprofen every 4hours. Now I don't take it but once every few months, an usually only after I do something stupid.

Dave I should have a picture of the truck version of your half track next week, I might be able to swing by it before the . Seems there's a gun store between my house and my twins gymnastics center. It might be the m3. Didn't know if you'd like some shots to help spur you back on that project. The gunshop drives it around town in parades and just for free advertising.

When the wife complains of a headache I threaten her with my own version of acupuncture. I stick a 6 inch nail through your foot, you soon forget all about your headache.

Owch!

Scary part is it sounds like it'd work.

You think the migraines a pain, wait go see the lawyer that follows.

Haha!
Pilots..not too detailed, because you can't see them inside the canopy anyways

OMFG! What a fething disaster!!


I should've dry-fitted the canopy! It doesn't fit the resin cockpit! Everything is off slightly, and there's nothing I can do about it now.
Such a noob mistake! I am ashamed of myself!
I'm going to have to add styrene strips or something now to cover the gaps

Dave you should no better dry run the whole thing first its Forge World model after all just add some strips and a little paint you won't even notice

I have to say I was disappointed by this remark "Pilots..not too detailed, because you can't see them inside the canopy anyways" no excuse make the best of everything

As for the beading tool mentioned above I have had one for about 3 years now, saw someone using it to make rivets and buttons in GS.
Great tool but be careful with the pressure you apply when making the rivets on PC, to hard and you end up with a whole although it does expel a perfect rivet

Dave, couldn't you build your own canopy to match the hole? I know you have the talent, just may not have looked at the puzzle the other way. Make a canopy to fit the fuselage instead of making the fuselage fit the canopy.

I should have omitted the clear canopy, and used thin clear plastic inside the frames. Bah..PITA!

I was only busting your balls

Haha, busted, bleeding, and hanging by a tendon, but I can fix my balls, I have plastic and glue and surgeon's tools

Knew you could do it Dave.

What glue can I use to bond aluminum to plastic? Gorilla glue, plastic glue and e6000 didn't work.

CA, Cyanoacrylate, Super Glue. That is your go-to for bonding dissimilar materials. I use gap-filling mostly, but also thin and super-thin (it's like water-be careful) when needed

I'll have to pick some up this week. My old bottle broke open during transit, was hoping there was an lterntive . Thanks dave, and can I get a Little nudge?

And Dave saves another model again! I think you actually enjoy getting models that have flaws Dave, that way you get to stretch your mind muscle and get creative on them! whereas if it were me, i'd be busting out the tissues for a good cry!

I taught the puppy a LOT of bad words today

Holy Crap!

Mega-Tonnage Karma Drop from Theophony today!!

Dude! You Rock!- You DO realize this 2Lb. box of OOP minis is probably worth more than 2 Lbs of pure GOLD right now right!?!
I am in awe! Thanks soo much my friend!
Now I got the better end of the deal!

As well you deserve. Figured you might need the goliaths also. I just hope the other box finds its new home safe and sound. My mail usually arrives about now too. Funny you got the pics up so fast as I haven't gotten the confirmation yet .

Is that?.....is that......Plastic Goliaths!!!! omg I could paint the hell outta that much skin tone! lol :-)

Me too! MUHAHAHA! I have to wait until my mowing chores are done first though before I can play!
