Well, whaddya know. Here I was
then, whining and sniveling about calls on my time and going to do the best I can. And here I am
now, announcing that I can pretty much move into the rigging attachment phase already. A block of time came up, a task got done faster than I thought it would, and "Hey, Presto!" here I am. I dunno: in future, you guys and gals just won't trust me any further than you can throw a Centurion tank (at 55 tons, it wouldn't be far!)
So here's the Biff, all decked out in EZ line and securely mounted to my "Third Arm:"
As you can see, I put the Third Arm onto a rotating kitchen platform so that I can traverse the model through 360 degrees, the better to access the various attachment points. You may be interested to know that, as I was attaching the EZ line, I came across a mistake made almost two years ago: one of the cabane struts had completely missed its attachment point on the underside of the upper wing. Fortunately, I was able to reset the limb without recourse to local anaesthetic, and the patient is now more or less realigned properly. Ye Gods, the things that I completely miss!
In any event, I'm glad to have bounced forward a bit rather than make the crawl through knee deep snow drifts, as I expected to do. I'll move on apace, happy to have inadvertently gained a bit of time. Cheers, All, and thanks for visiting!
