A large hammer. Ill let you guess what the letters stand for.
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

H for hammer, B for big and F for friendly? Frosty? Fat?

I really have not got a clue. ...

Lyle you just gotta beat that thing into submission. My friend built one a while back and spent almost a year on it. In the end it was a stunning model.

It's a curse word for the act of copulation that begins with F and rhymes with ducking.
It's up to you how much money you want to spend and how many new words you want to create "correcting" something.

JimD - I am glad my sacrifice was not for nothing, or something like that.

Adam - I think i'll win. Right now the starboard underside leading edge looks like a close up of Manuel Noriega's face. I tried Milliput for the first time and did not read the directions, too closely...

So, not having mixed it enough, it would not cure over night and I ended up scrapping it off. I'm now trying to fill enough of the gap with pieces of styrene so that the two halves are stable enough (unlike me) to be filled without moving. If someone that knows what they are doing used over 500 grams of filler, I figure I'm in good company.

This is your model on crack...

I was heavy handed on using the liquid styrene....next time tape the area off and then apply the stuff. Oh, and as a point of information - probably don't want to mix it with a rotary tool...It makes really neato threads as they fly out of the jar. (I read that somewhere, I think)

it ain't a fine wine, that is for sure. This thing will have more putty than Tammy Faye Bakker getting ready for a TV show!

I think I have some Chivas Regal 12 yr old upstairs! :shocked: I should be rated PSR 1C when done....with several sanding stick clusters.
