Keep it coming Lyle! Brush it babay! Scale modeling is fun!

I wish it was fun.

Guys she had another nose job. It was on the floor, upside dob...having taken a dive from where I put it. This happened a few days ago. So, canopy came off, nose split, and another protuberance (first time I can recall using it) to be fashioned.

I’ll probably overspray it with this color for that smooth even complexion all the girls want...

You got this Lyle! I know you'll be able to fix this since you already did once. Easy peasy!

Uh, three times...

Oops! Okay that is good news! You are well practiced!

Roger, that!

Okay, I've given Milliput another try. I guess I'm just not mixing it enough. . . I don't know. Poor results for me to this point.

The last nose dive into the floor popped out the canopy and cracked it, split the upper fuse from canopy line to the nose and bottom fuse from nose to nose gear opening.

CA and Squadron Green Putty on the popped seams, Glob-o-Milliput on the missing nose area. More broke this time, so I have decided to not worry about the glass on the bottom of the nose. Besides, I can't find it. You guys should come watch all this some time! I hate having such a good time all by myself.

The Milliput has cured overnight and I've just started sanding away at it with 0 grit...or so it seems. I left a fair amount of material to remove. I guess if this pops out, at least it should be able to be CA'd back into place.

More pics tomorrow... even sanding away

Ah bummer - I'm sure you'll get it sorted though!

Coming along. I always have the hammer!
