allthumbs Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Thanks for checking in fellas. The Electric Intruder is idle for the moment. Another project has kept me occupied these past few months. If things go as planned (always a big "if" when it comes to me and models), I should resume work on the EA-6A sometime in August. And, although progress has been slow, I'm still keen on putting together a resin conversion kit, along with some other bits and pieces for the Trumpeter model. As others have pointed out, plenty of aftermarket opportunities still exist for the big Intruder.

otis252 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Great to see this thread breath a little life. I've been following from the start and skills are awesome. Hope to see some updates soon and looking forward to a conversion set for the E/A-6A, I'm definitely in for one. Thanks. Chuck allthumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyWan Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Any way you can re-upload all your photos somewhere? allthumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Anthony, Chuck, Dan, Steve, Marcel, Ben, et al... Thanks for the encouragement and positive feedback. Although the project has been on hold for some time, I am eager to resume work, which should happen soon...a matter of weeks now. In fact, I'm headed out to California later in the month where I plan to visit a couple of museums for more Intruder documentation photos and measurements...can't have too many references! And yes, in due time, I'll repair the thread which, obviously, and like so many others here, fell victim to The Great PhotoBucket Debacle...GPBD for short (the sixth extinction?). Hopefully, I'll have something new to share by the end of the month. Cheers, Rich AnthonyWan, Kagemusha and Harold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajw1977 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Hey Rich, hope all is well, am reinvigorated, my cam A-6E is all done, learnt a lot in that build, suffice to say I’m keen to crack in to the EA-6A! Are you still looking at producing the conversion? If not I will have a go at trying to replicate your scratch building if that is ok by you? I have a few things on the bench which I need to clear first but this is next up!

allthumbs Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Hi friends, Thanks for checking in. As you might have guessed, the Electric Intruder build has been on hold for some time now. It stalled out as a result of my taking on too much work, both within the hobby and without - a classic case of overestimating what one can achieve in the short term Having invested a lot in the project to this point, I would like to see it through to completion someday - hopefully sooner rather than later as I’m not getting any younger! AJW: As I can’t predict when the conversion parts will be available, I would encourage you to go for it. And please feel free to incorporate any of the techniques and ideas contained within this thread Regards, Rich Edited July 8, 2019 by allthumbs Isar 30/07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll try to get the pictures reloaded via another photo sharing account. The existing PhotoBucket images do indeed appear blurry and watermarked.
