If you play a musical instrument let us know, I play the Violin, and push the buttons of my wife!!

 

[Enterpriser10]

Wow, Zathros! Thank you for your kindly comment. It's honnor me, a lot!!!! Thank you, so much.
As the musical instrument, unfortunately I do not play anyone . . .

But, as Handel, he was inspired by the biblical passage in Isaiah 9:6, that was fulfilled in Matthew 7:28, 29 and John 1:18. That is, who am I to be compared to the Messiah ? . . .

Thanks for your precious encouragement, and it will be a great joy to be among the models of the month, if my humble Faro Basso deserve!

 

[Enterpriser10]

So, let's go to the work!!!
Now, I'll join the lateral parts.

 

[zathros]

Excellent progress!

 

[Enterpriser10]

[zathros]

Rhaven, are you there???? Good surgery for you, my dear.

@Enterpriser10 Yes, I am here. I have to say that I am ENJOYING your work!!!
Having the ability to make minor repairs (with little to no expense) like this is a prime example of (one of the many reasons) why I prefer and so greatly enjoy paper model building over any other medium.

The raven is back!!!! He came flying!!!! To me is very good to see you here again. And, I'm glad that you liked my humble job. Thanks.

 

[Enterpriser10]

Now, my last steps. Bellow I want to show the result at each side.

 

[Enterpriser10]

This is not easy, because the long tabs need to be glued far way my finger . . . Look at the internal side. I needed to glue the larger tabs in two steps.

 

[zathros]

Yeah, this is one piece that needs to be done from the "side not seen".

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

The raven is back!!!! He came flying!!!! To me is very good to see you here again. And, I'm glad that you liked my humble job. Thanks.

Yes, I am back, but at 100% for flying yet.
Your work is far from humble. You are doing a FANTASTIC JOB!!!

 

[Enterpriser10]

Yeah, this is one piece that needs to be done from the "side not seen".

Thank you, Zathros. It remember me Matthew 6:3!

 

[Enterpriser10]

Thank you, Rhaven. Your kindly comment, as Zathros' comments and others, are very encouraging to me. Thank you a lot for all of you!

 

[Enterpriser10]

Now, I'm looking at the part #8 . . . It's called by Uhu as "octopus", and it isn't without reason . . . It's very difficult to handle!

 

[Enterpriser10]

Well, my friends, I think that the better way to start here is firming a starting−point on the limit with almost 0.5 mm from the extremities. But first, I need to fix the larger side of "octopus".



After, I'll try to glue the green part back, to join the fissure.



Then, I'll try to join the fissure in "octopus", gluing it at the green part back too.

Coming along nicely! You're going to have a little treasure there. Get a nice plastic box display, and when mounted, have two little holes drilled in the base, have them fill it with Argon Gas. Those holes have to be such that they are, when filled, can be plugged with glue, rubber, etc. It is not filled under pressure, it just displaces the air, and Argon is so neutral, it will prevent deterioration. The Argon is heavier than air, so you want to have the model firmly mounted, and put the fill and drain hole on the bottom, so when righted, any "air" will remain above the model.

What a superb work is being done here!

Great suggestion, Zathros!!!! It'll be amezing, and special. I'll look for Argon to home use, if we have it here, in Brazil . . . But, thanks for your scientific suggestion!
