Bismarck Build - Dreams - Happenings

This is a good update. Jaws is good.

 

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa da...... daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa da......... da da da da dum da da da....

Going out for a run Bis and Valiant style.

 

If you ever want to watch Jaws, let me know. I own a copy and will happily lend it to you.

 

It`s all good.... Jaws is good....

 

Excellent progress today. Curt and I spent a good eight hours working... tweaking... fine tuning... it is good. Finished up just after 2am... it's good. Good! Bis is ready but some last minute details. Tirpitz will need stip to stern work. I will handle throttle and steering servos, electrical harness, complete water channeling, battery tray, armor... whatever needs to be fine tuned there. Also, pump and radio gear. Should be an easy day.... just follow Bismarck and Tirpitz can be completed. Than it is the ugly english ship.

 

I love it!

 

Bismarck was great! A little tlc and check the Dora turret. Should be 100%. Imagine that three sets of duels on a live german battleship killer!

 

Hey Craig, you going to remove some guns for more pumps?

/hides.......

 

Newbie? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I guess that is better than Newfie?!!??! Just kidding I love the rock. I would also like to point out Mack.... that.... hey! Where did you go?

 

Heh, I should point out that Bismark was having mucho pump problems all weekend that was stressing Craig out a bit, although he managed to get a few nasty combat sorties in anyways, despite the pump.

I think he went thru 3 different pumps, including one I tried to rebuild and salvage for him. It seemed fine when tested but promptly failed shortly after the morning's sortie began.

Yowtch! Sorry Craig, I really tried. And Steve attempted to perform miracles on it too. HHmm? Maybe just remove the pump and add another gun?

 

heheheheheheeh That's funny! Mack.... you musta been tired! That was Chris and Tirpitz! My pump worked fine.... I wouldna sank in the first battle had I forgotten and turned it off!!! That's great! Thanks buddy! LOL

 

Welllllllll!!!!!

Did I have a wierd dream.

I dreamt I took Bismarck down off the shelf (btw.... this was my first model boat dream) and it was cracked and broken. It was just the hull, and there were ribs missing.... it was pretty bad. It was a precise dream, I can look at the hull in real life and point out were the broken/missing bits were. Oh ya, and the hull was back to it's original look after it was cut out, no balsa, no paint. Wierd eh? There were three captains helping with the restorative work, Curt, Paul and Bob. The hull didn't mend and the boat ..... slagged.... itself. I then took a 25lb sledge to it. Go figure. Thought it was worth sharing..... poor Bis.

 

Dude, you need to stop eatimg pizza at 10 pm!!!!!

 

You really should go see someone about these dreams Craig.

 

Good thing you weren't sleepwalking with a sledge hammer!

Damn right..... then I'd be boatless! Unlike some of us who have three or ten boats to spare, eh?

 

10.5 boats. Everything is half again here.

Curt,
I have Freud's 'Interpretation of Dreams' in my office. Maybe I can figure out what the blazes that dream was about! [8D]

Bob

 

Actually Bob I think it means " I need a vacation" [8D]. The other interpretation is " I need an Allied boat" [][8D][]

 

I'm sure that Freud's interpretation would probably have something to do with phallic imagery, and possibly the innate male fear of castration symbolized in the destruction of your prized ship.

Or maybe it's just that you need to get an Allied ship!
