Thanks Kenny..........I've just found a gentleman on the net, with the help of Adross who is wanting a real motor of the same, and emailed him last night asking if he had any photos of the motor.........he's going to send me some when he returns from the West Indies.

You are doing some really skillful work here Neil & I see it takes lots of patience to do it right. When you have finished how many hulls will you be able to make from this mould & will you be selling them as well, if so put me on a list for one, or is it going to be part of a new kit ?. Mick B.

Rottweiler · « **Reply #132 on:** November 28, 2012, 08:54:58 pm »

looking better by the day!I agree with you about the "splinters" not only do they hurt like h*ll,but they are so difficult to find,I always end up with the hole in my skin at least 3 times as big as when the splinter entered.Judging by the E mails I have just swapped with him Mick B had better beware if he gets a splinter,they havent even got specsavers in Canada lol.Keep up the good work Neil,and I hope the forecasted frosty weather wont effect the drying times too much

Mick B has lost weight and is now far too thin to get splinters.
Enjoying this thread Neil - keep up the good work.

if I look after the mould I could possibly get 50 - 60 mouldings out of a mould, Mick............if you wanted one I could make one for you at some stage......not intended to be a kit though, just fancied building something different.

cheers guys.
hope by tomorrow evening to have the mould finished. yippeee.

irishcarguy · « **Reply #136 on:** November 29, 2012, 06:29:25 pm »

Hi Neil, lovely work as usual, however I would be tempted to put flat washers both sides of the holes for the coach bolts, use as large as you can fit to spread the load over a greater area, hope you are not offended by that suggestion, Mick B.

Neil · « **Reply #137 on:** November 29, 2012, 06:35:54 pm »

not at all Mick......any comments of help are taken well meaningly..........
there is no load on the bolts though.........they litterally hand tightened to hold the mould together, and not screwed tight.

Neil,
I'm impressed you got it out sucessfully and the speed you did it in!
Given the speed did you use tooling gel & resin?
Regards,
Kim

rmaddock · « **Reply #139 on:** November 30, 2012, 12:28:29 pm »

Did you choose the scale specifically to fit the bath Neil?

No, kim......just common or garden reblend winter resin from Glasplies...45 quid for 20 kilos..........the amount of mouldings that will be pulled from this set doesn't warrant any expensive stuff, lol

absolutely Rob.........I'll just be able to fit in the bath with the model..........lol.....

gawd what a horrible thought.

Norseman · « **Reply #142 on:** December 01, 2012, 10:33:22 am »

Hmmn, slipping into a hot bath with a model.....
Sounds like a very good idea Neil but mind your back.

Dave

irishcarguy · « **Reply #143 on:** December 01, 2012, 04:59:42 pm »

I keep thinking that you have a dirty or even a clean mind Dave depending on the model. Just be careful Neil we don't want you being found dead in a bathtub in a situation like that, what would the neighbours think. ( as if you would care ) Mick B.

Neil · « **Reply #144 on:** December 01, 2012, 07:24:53 pm »

the way my family are feeling about me at the moment I might be found so with a knife in the back........not mr popular after a day's christmas shopping, lol

Norseman · « **Reply #145 on:** December 01, 2012, 10:39:39 pm »

At least here in Mayhemland you are the ever popular Neil

Ho Ho .... yes it should be three but two Ho's is all I can manage tonight.

I dont know why I have missed your last 2 days postings,but have read them now. You in a bath with a model? must be a submarine,"up periscope!"
Just think of all that money you have saved on Christmas shopping,my friend,the family are spending it for you!
