Being left-handed is supposed to give me better spatial awareness ... but I don't know if it does.<br /><br />Years ago I tried out a Royal Navy helicopter flight simulator ... and landed a Merlin 'copter on the deck of a moving Type 23 frigate first time. The CPO in charge was sure that I must have used the simulator before until he found out that I was left-handed. He then told me that most 'natural' helicopter pilots were left-handed as they had learned to use both hands on different tasks at the same time as well as having better spatial awareness.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-30501086758824749232015-01-01T00:16:10.632+00:002015-01-01T00:16:10.632+00:00Aha!

Some of the stuff has been in the box for years because one never knows when one might find a use for it.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-77768085059338538942014-12-31T13:08:27.549+00:002014-12-31T13:08:27.549+00:00Bob, this is probably your best of the series yet,...Bob, this is probably your best of the series yet, and oh to have just 5 minutes alone with your Airfix spares box :-) Cracking stuff once again.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-62411201070608349132014-12-31T12:32:02.912+00:002014-12-31T12:32:02.912+00:00Rumblestrip (Andrew),

I take your point about the repetition that has crept in, and any further blog entries will hopefully avoid repeating what earlier blog entries have already covered.<br /><br />The ability to 'see' the potential of model components is something that I have learned, although I suspect that being left-handed may have helped.<br /><br />I have a few more ideas that I want to try out before I begin the painting process, but that should be underway early in 2015.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-8455721342662586192014-12-31T11:56:09.159+00:002014-12-31T11:56:09.159+00:00Bob

I think the photos alone would largely tell the tale (particularly of the removal of wheels and cutting away with a razor saw).<br /><br />However I am impressed not so much by the modelling skills (which I could match) but the vision(which I simply can't). It's the business about the sculptor spotting the statue in the block of marble. You talented lot infuriate me!<br /><br />I think these will really come together when unified by an undercoat. Looking forward to that.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Andrew Rumblestriphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15458538310473447360noreply@blogger.com
