Coming together nicely now!

I should refine my statement.... :cool:

My thoughts exactly! :yesyes:

Stocked up with nearly 70 euro's worth of supplies, necessary for the display case project....... Paper is wood, right? Let the weekend begin!!

Sounds like the same weather as here in the Netherlands!

Nooo noooo nooooo! That is another model entirely! ;)

What? A steam driven launch system ?

I think RF is showing a side of him, that I'm not sure we really want to know about...... :eek: :laughrolling:

TFF! :laughrolling:

Yeah, probably include airbags, chromed fuzzy dice on the self dimming rear view mirror, and a seat in the back for the mother-in-law ..... :laughrolling:

Nice! I have never seen the series, but have seen pics of the ship. Nice rendition!

How contrary to modern standards! Wouldn't be allowed now... :sadno: :) Looking great RB. Following with interest....

After hanging suspended overnight to dry, the fix on the neck seemed to of worked well enough. It is not quite right yet, but the worst of the kinking has gone. There are a few spots that need a little more water and gentle persuasion, but that can wait until it is suspended horizontally, and...

It can be pulled back relatively easily, whoever, it pops back to the buckled position. I...

Awesome!

@Awry_Chaos This is how it was before....... :cool: :biggrin:

A spark of life. Emerges from the ashes. Seeking, places high! It has begun! The re-homing of the Discovery! The great unpacking........! Space-Cat approves! The display case has withstood all the transportation anomalies unscathed, I am pleased to say! I have assembled the case and...
