Great progress and amazing skill.
Makes my work looks like a kidstuff.
But, please, please take care of your hands. You shouldn't give any stress on your wrist untill you got the operation and be cured completely.
I also worry about Mrs Gagg. My wife had the same many years ago. That was so hard for her.
Again, take good care as much as both of you can.
If you have to slowdown your build, you should slow down. You are only 46? Hey, I'll be 58 tomorrow if I am lucky enough to be able to wake up in the morning.
Best Regards

Good luck with the surgery.
I had elbow surgery a few years ago when just using a mouse made me need to ice up. Post surgery I was like a new man -hoping you have similar results.
...and keep the build pics coming, you've created a bunch of junkies for your beautiful work.

I know how you're feeling. I developed tendonitis way back when I was scribing all of the details on my Stargate Anubis helmet. Hurt like hell.
Wow guys,
Thank you so much for all the kind words and support
I know i say this every time but its so true that i really appreciate it and that it really does mean a lot to me
that i have alot of great followers
Thanks again guys
Well last time i also mentioned that the post man had popped by with some stuff, well, the next day just to pound the final nail in my wrist i also had a delivery from Smooth-on
Here's what we got
This is what $413 looks like
On with the news
Cleaned up the engine top piece some more
Started adding some small panels
Trimmed the top edge
Both ready for filler
"Offered up" as my Grandfather would of said
Ring filled
Dome epoxied.......
Roughed out the ring
Finished sanded
Dome sanded
Filled
Rough sanded, using the ribs for a guide
Finished ring and dome together
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Primer
Mojo has been a little scarce this last week even with all this new material
I have so much to do its a bit daunting to know what is the best logical way to continue
Overwhelmed is the word & pain from the wrist but i explained that
No pain = model
Pain = model with pain
Im sure a solution will present itself
Stay tuned

Looking great, Take care of the wrist. Its just a model. When you heal up. It will be waiting for you
the DOCTOR
Sr Member
Blimey, even through the ain, you keep Going!
Had a touch of something in one of my wrists, about twenty years ago, described it to the doc as "feeling like grit around the tendon" when I flexed my wrist, the doc said it would go away, and it did, I hope your trouble can be easily Sorted!

Very Good Evening to everyone,
Thanks guys, appreciate the support as always
Remember
If you have no pain.......Model,
If you have pain.....model with pain.
And we still have 'NO BANANAS'
Enough poop.................Hold on folks
Not much coming at you fast.
My first try at molding from what i've seen online and stuff
Fix blank to poster board base with hot glue, leave plenty of room around the outside
Make a surround high enough to cover the blank, seal all edges with hot glue
Arrange required Molding gubbins, Digital scales, paper cups, palet knife, a mixing pot, your chosen Smooth-on product, in this case OOMMOO 25, paper towels and i have a manky towel that is more useful than you think, to cover the bench.
50-50 mix, 2 mins and in.
Bish, bash, bosh......got four done.
You can de mold in about 75mins but to be safe i left it over night
Removed the poster board
Bit of pulling and out popped the blank
Casting. Trimmed the mold with scissors, very badly and then mixed
50-50 of the Smooth Cast 300, mixes very thin so no vacuuming required
Two mins
Four mins
Twenty minuets later removed from mold and fitted
This stuff is magic
Finished more engine parts, top ring
These parts still need abit of cleaning but they pretty much came out perfect
Thats it for now
Take care
