MikeMaben Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks guys, Hi Richard, I popped a capillary (tiny vein) in my right eye and had blood swirling around in there. The blood dissipates over time and clears away. I'll be going in in few weeks so they can see if I need anything laser welded to prevent future popping.

Out2gtcha Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 This is pretty sweet! (The D model 109, not popping a capillary) MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 I applied a decal !!! See if you can find it. Anyway, I finally got the oil bubble removed from my right eye so I have a little better depth perception (not perfect yet) so all I've been able to do is putz around with relatively small things. Hope to be getting more done now. Aahaaarrr ! Biggles87, Lothar, Anthony in NZ and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 With that decal applied it now starts to look like a 109 . I really do hope your vision does improve rapidly now, my best wishes in your direction!!! Lothar Paul in Napier and MikeMaben 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Thanks Lothar , I'm lucky to have vision back in that eye at all. It's a miracle of modern technology and talented people. Lothar, Paul in Napier and jgrease 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Nice work Mike. I also have this conversion set - unusual for resin parts to be oversized, the opposite is the usual case! Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hey thanks Derek , the flaps were oversize because they were designed for the ancient Hasegawa E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 So sorry to hear about the eye issues, Mike! I see the decal and like the progress! The RLM02 interior color is so much more interesting than the dark RLM66 color that I'm always having to use. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Thanks John, I was just being silly with the decal. I had to stick that on there before I attach the rear canopy and then realized "hey ! the first decal is on ! ". My eye will be fine, it's just a matter of time.

MikeMaben Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Puttin' some color on just to prove I'm doing SOMETHING !! Using the Cameo cutter for some of it. I'm aslo making a canopy masking set (inside and out) which is taking more time than I thot it would (major slowdown) Greg W, Kagemusha, amurray and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Cool, looks good Mike! How do you find the Cameo? Is it a 4? MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Nope, it's the original Cameo 1. I have all the software up to Business 4.3 which I got so I could import AI files as I do pretty much all my imaging in Illustrator 6. I may upgrade to a 4 as it cuts heavier materials like sheet plastic. I've cut sheet plastic with the 1 but I think 10 thou is the thickest I could cut successfully. They're a fun tool if you have the patience to climb the learning curve. Out2gtcha, turbo, mozart and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Good to see some progress Mike, especially involving the Cameo cutter, what you’ve done looks spot on. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Nice progress Mike, the joint of the new nose to fuselage looks very good which is quite the opposite to my B version which I have a major problem with which has caused me to stall on that one .
