Gather Around Let Me Tell You A Tail.....

Post by Piatchie »

So, The Easter Bunny and I have been Mates for some time now! Let me tell you, he is not your average Easter Bunny Either! First off, he Goes By EB, cause He's Cool like that! He is a Modern day Rabbit with his Long Ears and Blue fur. We hang out and drink wine, eat chocolate and that good stuff.

Now here is where the story gets interesting.....Last week, EB came for our usual Pre-Easter get together and we spent 3 days drinking ourselves foolish and overeating on Easter eggs ment for small children....when the time came for EB to head out, he discovered that the driveway had become ever so muddy in the thawing Spring weather! I have to say, for a Boy with so much responsibility, He's a bit of a wuss.....

Image

He was having no part of getting his newly colored blue paws muddy so we expedited this Beauty overnight from Japan to help carry him on his way!

Image

Image

Image

Image

Hmmm......I hope he can read Japanese cause I sure cant...

Image

And these decals won't do at all....

Image

I can see clearly now the rain is gone!

Ok Update Time!
EB is very excited about his new P-51!

Image

Oh wait.....that wasn't his good side.... :?

Image

One thing I can say Lee & Paul, he is really enjoying the new Sanding Sticks!

Image

Ive put him to work....after all I don't get to fly the damn thing!

Image

Image

He is very proud of what we accomplished today!

Image

I'm just about ready to be rid of him now! Don't let the Blue fur fool you! Not only does he snore really loud but the Bugger is drinking all my wine!

O.M.G.......Had I known EB was going to be this much of a Drama Queen, I may never have agreed to this Build.....

Here is the Standard Layout for the Flight COntrols....

Image

And Here is how he made me cut away "the Ugly Black cause its not an Easter color...." :violin: Do you know how hard it is to cut something that tiny?????

Image

And here is the end result in his "Fancy" Pale Blue Cockpit....

Image

And Then....Get This Now.....He tells me his "bottom" is delicate!!!!! The Bugger had me install Blue Shag Carpet into the Cockpit! There is not enough Wine in the World!

Image

He sands a few parts and thinks he is back in my good books.....

Image

Image

BUT after a long Frustrating night....he did make me laugh when he "attempted" to do some masking.....lol fur and sticky do not mix well........

Image

Next up? He tells me he is planning a "Custom" Paint Job...... :eeek:

Ok, last update...thank God this is done as my wine supply is getting pretty low......got all the decals on! Not sure what happened with my canopy, when I peeled the tape the glass was all fogged......I blame the Blue Shag Carpet!

Don't worry about the fogged canopy, EB will need it like that to cut down the hang-over :) (you've let him over-indulge, so you are naughty :) )
