  1. I forgot about them. They usually got pretty wild also. At the local track, it seems nasty and personal was normal for drivers, crews, and many time the fans.
  2. Looking good. As for wooden deck and plastic hull..... PVA won't work as it's not for plastic. The CA was/is a better choice.
  3. Congratulations on a very well done model, Bob. I too am looking forward to your next model.
  4. I'm in as I've not seen any of their models if I remember right. Interesting on the box art... the bird is flying, firing all guns and no visible crew.
  5. And the ever popular demolition derbies. I remember one, only because the driver was a friend of my dad, who entered his 6 month old Lincoln in one after complaining about it for the previous 6 months to the dealer about it being a lemon. It was heavily targeted as everyone went after that car.
  6. Frank, When you're ready, do open a log in the kit area for this model. Thanks, Mark
  7. Micha is spot on. Back in the day, all drawings were either rolled into a tube or stored flat in large drawers. One place I worked weve hung the ones currently in use on a clothes line stretched in the either the archive room or the copy room.
  8. You might take a deep breath and dive into the stash and see if the tire was misplaced in another box. But, the jack stand is a great idea.
  9. The look of that beast brings back memories.... one variation was the so-called "outlaw" class, if I remember right. Good times on Friday and/or Saturday nights at the oval tracks.
  10. Welcome aboard Eric. You've chosen wisely on the path to success with the starter kits.
  11. Finally an update. I'm reading and re-reading the instructions and looking at other logs of this ship. And I currently have all the framing (I think) done. About to start marking the top lines of the frames. Hopefully I get more time to spend on this project but seems real life keeps dragging me off.
  12. Welcome to MSW, John. You Albatros came out very well.
  13. He's right Micha. Goto the front page and scroll to the bottom past all the topics to just below the Stance on Piracy area and you will see a box with statistic in it (the number of members in that box) and below that is a box with "Who's online".
  14. Just a note on the Frolich book.... it is more for French ships than U:S or English as there are some differences in ship design and all the equipment just as gun rigging, stoves, crew accommodations, etc, Having said that...it is a great reference and well worth at least a read.
