If my terrain starts to implode after a few years? I'll make some more! =)<br /><br />Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088047638294054640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171201306410809232.post-4488400716997848662015-06-28T22:50:58.390-07:002015-06-28T22:50:58.390-07:00Yeah, that blue 3M tape is the best. I stumbled on...Yeah, that blue 3M tape is the best. I stumbled onto that a few years ago while I was repainting the house. I've used it for exactly the same reasons you mentioned. As far as I'm concerned, 3M make the best stuff, but they do charge for it don't they :)<br /><br />But, after you've taped up the hole with it, what do you do then? Just apply your basing over it & take it off after?<br /><br />I ask, because I stumbled (I do a lot of that) upon a solution to filling in those CD holes a few months ago. Just curious as to your method. I lay the CD down on some baking paper & squirt a dob of hot glue in there.<br />Job done.<br /><br />Guy Martin cracks me up, he's definitely missing something up stairs (have you seen his theory on making the best cup of tea?), just the right mindset to ride flat out through Bray hill i reckon :) but he's seems to be a pretty genuine person & I enjoy watching how enthusiastic he can get over everything.<br /><br />Regarding the comments section on YouTube, their the best! I often get lost in them after watching a video. Reading what some of the dregs of society imagine as "constructive criticism" or "scintillating conversation" make for hours of hilarious reading.....if a little depressing as to the general public's IQ level.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for the welcome wishes too Ace, I'm fucking glad to be home I tell ya :)<br /><br />Cheers pal.<br /><br />Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171201306410809232.post-88448141521342819232015-06-28T18:31:42.771-07:002015-06-28T18:31:42.771-07:00Ah! Mein freund! You have caught me in my lunch br...Ah! Mein freund! You have caught me in my lunch break =)<br /><br />Thank yo for the kind words, but please believe me when I say it only by the grace of trick photography that the Spit even begins to resemble a plane at all! What an ordeal...<br />The next one went together much easier!<br /><br />To (quickly) answer your question. After numerous trials trying to 'fill the void' using all manner of prophylactics I had to give in and submit to the wondrous powers of masking tape! Yep - but not just any old making tape, very expensive makes-you-cry-because-nothing-else-does-anywhere-near-as-good-a-job masking tape! <br />I often use 3M's blue 'semi permanent' tape when I'm painting things to mask areas off, it doesn't rip and tear paint from the canvas and it also has a brilliant 'stretch' so you can pull it taught over difficult areas, like a hole in a cd for example!<br /><br />That Guy Martin 'build' is a great bit of viewing - I did get a chance to go through it (and then got into a 'youtube battle' with some know-all after answering a question... NEVER READ THE COMMENTS!)<br /><br />I work as a bike mech so Guy is a bit of a favourite in the workshop =) <br />Tally bally ho!

Instead, I'm presented with this "good" looking one!!! WTF!!!<br /><br />It turned out great Ace. <br /><br />Just a quick question (depending on how fast you read & answer it?), how do you fill the holes up in your CD bases? Please be something inappropriate :)<br /><br />Oh, and I saw a TV doco the other day, uploaded onto YouTube, that may interest you. It was a build up of a brand new Spitfire. They called it a rebuild, but the original was so far gone that it was laughable calling it that. They got Guy Martin (from TT fame) into help build it. That guys nuts & a natural comedic talent, but he's not a retard around a workshop, so he could help out properly, if only on a couple of small things. You may have already seen it, but I thought I'd give you the heads up just in case.<br /><br />Here's the link old boy,<br /><br />https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i7Zebpu2nS4<br /><br />Enjoy.Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.com
