Telford 2013 Musings :)

Ray Mon Oct 14, 2013 4:58 pm

My SSM Bros

We used to fuse off our ADRENALIN with this topic before a EuroMilitaire or two (I guess there are a couple of threads or even more, some started by yours truly & some by the others )

So while I AM STRESSING MYSELF with Lt.Weymar to try & get him sorted out in time for Joseph's LVG, & while I might not be coming to compete in the "flesh" with you lot, STILL an International Competition is round the corner & SSM's name & reputation is at stake once more :twisted:so my Adrenalin is pumping up the volume as without any doubt, this is SSM's benchmark where we as a Club, ALWAYS went MOST, ALWAYS competed MOST & ALWAYS won Most on average per SSM Capita

So my SSM Bros, in between your STRESS why not stretch your legs & fingers a bit & post your thoughts, your PANIC LEVEL (for those who are still not ready ) what are you working on during these last remaining days & what are you taking with you to Telford

Besides Lt.Weymar who will stand on the LVG's starboard wheel , I will be sending some "old work " with Joseph & nephews depending on the available garage space for hire in da boxes

Viva l'SSM
God Wills It

Hadd ma ndenja ruhu jittawwal hawn jahasra

Jien biss qieghed daqshekk HAZIN ???????

Naf li xi ftit DIGA lestew il-mudell bhal Doc Roe, Marco u l-Pecluq imma l-ohrajn kollha friski bhal hassa allura???????

Kont nistenna li wara waqfa twila minn Telford, KULLHADD bl-Adrenalina mghola s-Sema, mhux hadd ma ta widen ghall-Karba tieghi

Ha mmur ix-xoghol u nahseb u nikkontempla fuq Lt. Weymar u xi jmiss li naghmillu

Illum Out of Order wara x-xoghol ghax Oktoberfest

Narakhom u Nsajjrillkhom aktar tard illejla

Lt. Weymar well under way

Breeches & right coat sleeve are ALMOST ready
Left sleeve should be "beefed" up a bit as the whole jacket must be turned into a coat

Some tweaking here & there tomorrow & we should be ready for the lengthening of the coat...Joseph should bring the LVG here so we'll DO IT together

So STRESS GALORE when the LVG is around & I have to FIDDLE with WET PUTTY & TALC on PAINTED surfaces

The Bloody Tweaking & ReSculpting took me longer than Bloody Expected

God Willing, after this coffee in the Oval Office I'll be down in the workshop filing & sanding yesterday's final layer of MS & Duro

Will shoot pics asa right sleeve & breeches are DONE before I proceed to the left arm & the actual coat

The "coat effect" has already initiated with the right sleeve IMHO & I'm quite proud with the result

No Mass today so Bambin Ahfirli Pls

Tweaking & sandig should be ready & done later today & as I said I'll shoot in progress pics before I proceed to the "Coat"

However & I am sharing this on this thread (which I created to RELEASE the STRESS & keep the actual thread CLEAN) yesterday before I went for night duty, I stopped by at Joseph's to view the LVG's centre section in place & moreover to view the adjacent connecting rigging (which Joseph had overlooked when I BOMBARDED him as to WHERE ARE THE F^((i${ rigging....."Ray le m'ghandux rigging warajh jahasra") & my heart SANK as I have a bad feeling Lt.Werner is gonna be TOUCHING TOO MUCH RIGGING

Until 17:00ish (when the LVG comes here) I'm gonna be STRESSED GALORE, after a turbulent brain storming night till bloody 06:00 & after just a 4hr "sort of stormy sleep"

PRAY PLEASE

With ALL the STRESS accumulating

LVG STILL at Joseph's so at least I escaped (THERE IS NO ESCAPE) for the day

I must admit however that this STRESS is DRIVING me on with a SWEET RELISH as always when tackling a CHALLENGE

Last BAKE of the Day

Just added the coat buttons & subsequent holes & he's in the oven

Lt.Weymar is not looking that bad on that wheel

At least, LVG will fly to Joseph's this eve so the STRESS will be cut off by 50% (LVG lying there near me since Tuesday Ajjut )

Will give him a gentle fine steelwool rub in an hour's time, shoot pics, undercoat (PRAYING THERE WON'T BE ANY VISIBLE BLEMISHES) shoot pics again & START PAINTING.......FACE 1st

RoBert asked me to shoot pics in a s-b-s way for the face....that is after each step, I stop & shoot pics

Rob, I am so TIGHT that I'm SQUEKING WHEN I WALK Forgive me please

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I forgot to add 2 button holes on the left side of the coat

Discovered at noon while I was sanding down things

So had to drill, fill with putty & make the incisions with a scalpel blade & put back in oven till 13:00ish

Still would be 15:00ish before I start painting the face

Good one Wayne

Forgot to add that the Tiger Mossies have returned after yesterday's rain & caught me without my Flak Jacket (anti mosquito spray on my legs) so while toiling with the "tailoring" I was agonisingly being shot at from all directions

Undercoat drying up in the oven so nearing my presumed deadline of 15:00ish of face start

I shot pics & will shoot some with the undercoat BUT will post them just before I drop dead to sleep as I'm gonna SPLASH PAINT TILL LATE

F-5 still not yet finished, it is fighting back with teeth and nails. It should have been ready 2 weeks ago, but the after market decals(only one option) would not stick no matter what I threw at them. Ordered a 2nd one as I have no option and the 2nd set, somewhat adhered better, still not good and the cherry on the cake - they broke in many parts so it was a jigsaw puzzle assembly of the decals. Still in the race for now!!
