 The MOJO is back and with a vengance.............LMAO Ok a mod may have to move this cause I really dont know what it falls under, its not armor, its really not a wingy thing even though it has props to beat the air into submission, and its really not a floaty thing......quite a dilema?  ?? SO all parts have been given a bath and Im waiting for them to dry.......then off to sniff......Uh I mean....glue some styrene together......LOL Bob |

And the styrene has started flying LOL Top and bottom hull are togeather and this required some skill being two parts......LOL    Next some of the shaft cage frames were assembled and cleaned up. These have absolutly NO alignment bits at all, PE will cover the tops and sides after some more clean up is done.   Well who said you can get away from IP marks in places that really cannot be sanded. Holy cow what the heck. So being these are in a tight spot I put a real tiny glue tip on the super thin CA. Let it come to a head on the tip and let it leak into the IP hole and let is seek its level. Then after it dried I checked it with the silver sharpie and another application or two will be needed and it should be OK to go with no sanding needed.   Bow and stern loading doors are ok but beware you wil have a visable seam on the sides, easy enough to fix, just fill and sand. Still need a little work on these.   assorted little fiddly bits cleaned and ready for primer.   Hopefully will get somee more knocked out this weekend......enjoy Bob |

Leon - Thanks buddy Bill - hit the floor with my feet moving.........LOL Ian - good to have you along mate. BB - Thanks buddy Boots - Thanks Bud appreciate it. Off and running seems a little slow but there s a ton of clean up to do. I also noticed that there are no alignment pins on most of the parts..........LOL, nice going Trumpy.........LOL. What I do like is the fact that everything pretty much is a seperate component that can be built, primed, assembled, detailed and placed on the deck. Sort of haveing 15 little models......LOL. After prining the deck I hit it with some Tamiya AS-20....... 1, I dont like the color at all so it will have to be hit again with some lightened up German grey. 2, Some how the spray booth was sucking in some really bad particles of dust and the paint job was contaminated. Not a prblem now, Ill just wet sand the problem areas out and re-hit it.   I think it was kinda my fault, I was getting ready to head up to seattle for the model show and should have watched what I was doing. So I havent been in the door an hour and I managed to get all the parts for one of the sections primed.   Time top mix up some paint and hit the booth. More is on the way gents. Bob |
