Halibag-Phil Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) Hi More British bombers Some progress on mine. Wiring up starboard side next. With the bulkhead being attached to the floor anything that crosses it will have to be made now and inserted once the halves are together. This includes the handrail, heater ducting and the wiring bundle. I have cheated by putting a junction box just behind the bulkhead to make the wiring run shorter. Wiring will be from rolled miliput, shaped placed and allowed to set then removed for placement later. Still soooooooo much to do.

You must have the patience of Job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Terrific stuff Phil. ;) When it comes to the wings and such, will you be scratchbuilding the engines too? If you are not, I could always donate some Hercules radials to the cause...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Halibag-Phil Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hi Neil Was going to use some converted Tamiya Beaufighter engines but apparently they are different. Should get on to the wings etc some time in 2010 Set of yours may be very usefull. How do you find the time for master making, casting and galavanting arround Jaguar bases? Should be able to get the starboard side wired up this weekend Patience of job no, memory of a goldfish yes Cheers Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Halibag-Phil Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) Hi results of 6 hours work from previous pics. Much throwing of tools to the floor and soooooooooo much swearing. Why do inanimate objects hate me. I HATE WIRING it looks great when done but its a pain in the AR*E as once you have started its hard to know when to stop. Hope to have this side done by tomorrow but for now a pint of windowlene and a piece of Mrs Doyles cocaine and raisin cake are in order. :) Cheers Phil Edited August 1, 2007 by Halibag-Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griffin Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Hello Phil, I follow your amazing level of work from the beginning on that Halibag project . B) But why did You waste time on location pins that would make sense for plastic injection copies (WOOOO, what a nice dream !!! ) but here... ? And do You really want to close it after so much hard work everywhere inside ?! B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Halibag-Phil Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 (edited) Hi Location pins. As the two halves have probably been together and appart hundreds of times this was the only method of registering them. Fairly easy to do and sure helped when trying to fix all the internal features. Was going to be a resin kit but bottled out at an early stage. Here are the last pics this weekend with the wiring done on this side at least. :) ;) Few more little bits to go in like a light, fire extinguisher, curtains, bomb computer? a box anyhow. lewis gun ammo, folding seat. Dam thought I was nearly done in this half. Cheers Phil Edited August 1, 2007 by Halibag-Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Halibag-Phil Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 (edited) Last one for now Cheers Phil Edited August 1, 2007 by Halibag-Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neil Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 How do you find the time for master making, casting and galavanting arround Jaguar bases? Ah.......just like the old days again, huh? :D Let me know if you do want some engines when you get round to it... B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Halibag-Phil Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) Cheers Neil sent you mail. Zepplin, boy those boys were cool. As Father Dougal would say " Ah Ted to be in Led Zepplin, and to have my own plane, full of groupies, and to be Robert plant, I'm sorry I couldn't wish for any more Ted. So if I offered you this cup " Ahh Ted i'm in Led Zepplin,I'm Robert Plant and I've got that cup, how good can it get. If you have not seen father Ted ( maybe even if you have)you will have no Idea what I am on about. To end a picture of Father Maguire fresh from his aquittal at the Dun Cleiry massacre trial Cheers Phil Edited August 2, 2005 by Halibag-Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Keeper Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 <sarcasm on> Yeah Phil, you really slacked off and took the easy way out on this build! <sarcasm off> My latest t-shirt: Nice work Phil. Thanks for showing the color demarcation line, where'd you find the info on that? Cheers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Halibag-Phil Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Cheers Neil, Hello keeper. Info here http://photobucket.com/albums/y149/Halibag...ference%20pics/ Have much more printed from web. If you have any postable pics of british bomber interiors send them my way and I will stick them up on a similar site. All model pics in the other album. The yorkshire air museum example should be viewed with caution as in parts it is more a replica. Still amazing effort though and may have been re-detailed since. Distinct lack of interior pics of it completed. The Canadian restoration is the real deal and one of the most important and major restorations I can remember. This is however a late war airbourne forces variant and not a bomber. Was amused to see they had used black and white checkered linoleum on the rear floor, surely not, but in a period picture of a preston green ventral turret this is clearly seen to be correct. Will be laying the floor from individually cut out pieces of decal paper soon as the toilet paper holder and ashtrays have been installed :blink: :blink: Anyone got any FM progress shots??
