Wow, where do you get a star trek watching woman? I also got one from GA, but I can't get mine to watch it? Must have picked up the wrong model. I got the one in the red packaging, what should have I got? Damn, wonder if I can at least get store credit.
*sniff* If only we could all be so lucky. Curt, green... honestly, she'd have to be an android for you! LOL
Not green, but I have one room in our two-bedroom duplex for my hobbies And every free piece of shelf space (including the top of the computer desk) has boats & hulls on them. She'll roll her eyes occasionally (usually if she sees me looking at plans for a new one), but I am truly blessed.
[Tasha Yar] So, Mr. Data, you are FULLY functional, are you not? [/Tasha Yar] I guess some are into androids, or vice versa...
Speaking of Invincible. Here is something that happens with old fiberglass. The ribs are bending from age. Anyone have any ideas for repairs?
Bend them back and reinforce them. Lately I have been using carbon tow to reinforce my hulls (or aluminum sub deck rails). The Karlsruhe with her overly thin hull got aluminum, the Tirpitz is getting Carbon.
Oohhhh... carbon. You're a slick one, Greg. How do you work the aluminum subdeck rails? (i.e. how do you get them to stick?)
Carbon tow eh? I'll check into that. I just have to pry the Invincible away from the young man who has it for a bit an dsee how bad the damage is. Greg, when I get it if I sent you visuals you maybe can give an opinion?
If I remember correctly the Invincible needs a ton of work. It would need to be stripped of everything,including deck, and work done from the hull on up.
I would strip that model down to the frame and have it scraped clean. Then rebuild it enitirely. Trash the superstructure and deck. Just completely gut it.
