Probably right Tim. Lived here 55 years now and it gets boring after the first three zillion times!!! They think they’re the only people that have lost people digging holes in the ground!!!!

Never realised that was the superstition. My mate thought it was in case the rock crumbled away……but then she thought they were just dumb anyway….
You could have great fun with it though, just like Blackadder and Macbeth…..

Well, I’ve finally got to the end of the plastic bit…..just need paint, decals, and assembly……what could possibly go wrong!


Next up…..mask the airframe fuselage ready for primer….

Masking like that is actually quite easy with Eduard mask sets Doug. I place them with tweezers to get them accurate. The cost is minimal compared to the time saved. I also find it easy to mask the transparency before fitting it to the model.

Thanks Tim, that's useful to know. (too late for the Sea King but possibly my next attempt). :thumb2:
