Gary, @Morgan , that stove looks very similar to a Petite Gaudan/Godin (sp?) parlor stove we installed in the Saugerties Lighthouse in 1990 after we finished restoring it. Ours was wood or coal fired, produced an incredible amount of heat.

Ian, same thing happened here in NY state with our license plates, must be we use the same company 🤔 😒 😂

The shooting board has a bench hook on the underside. I recommend getting the shooting plane/board package as well as the miniature work table with bench dogs. Some photos of my setup

Yes, they show it being used with those plastic triangle you get at any drafting store or even Michaels

Diorama is coming along nicely. Looks real

We had one of those monsters in our house during WWII. Remember following my Dad into cellar one time when he went to stoke it for the night. As soon as he opened the door to furnace to shovel the coal in, the air rushing in caused the fire to roar, scared the daylights out of me, I think I was 5 or 6 then. Scared me so badly, I would never go in cellar when it was running. He converted to a Delco oil burner as soon as the war ended.

The bearded guy in the red union suit dropped this off the other night. Got a chance to play around with it. Works very smoothly, attaches nicely to the Veritas mini work table. Workmanship is superb as always. Well worth the investment

Me either ?

Thanks! I followed this guy's technique

A little side diversion. From the Post-apocalyptic series by Master Box, Raider Reaper in 1:24 scale. A really simple figure kit to assemble, it’s more about painting figures. I used Vallejo paints. After assembly I sprayed the figure with Tamiya's rattle can Fine Light Grey primer, then after drying I airbrushed it with Vallejo black primer. After that cured overnight, I airbrushed it again with Vallejo white primer, except this time I held the figure so I was spraying straight down with the top of his head pointed straight at the airbrush, leaving a white over black misty finish. (Sorry, no pictures, I was following a YouTube video on the technique). Results follow:

Yes, there's several regions, Southern Tier, Western NY, Niagara Region, Finger Lakes region, Mohawk Valley Region,Capitol Region, Upper/Mid/Lower Hudson Valley, Adirondacks Region (the real "Upstate" 😉😊) also known as The North Country; and then there's "Downstate", basically everything south and east of Tappen Zee Bridge (Westchester, Manhattan, Long Island), or is it Spuyten Duyvil, I can never remember which! 😉😊😇

Is the lighthouse encased in ice yet ? 😉😉

Thanks Patrick. I'm still getting use to needing glasses for Close-up work, used to be I only needed them for distance.

A little ripper from Veretas

Veritas also makes a Honing jig for their miniature planes

Try keeping a bedroom window open about 1 - 2 inches at night while you sleep regardless of outside temperatures. Your bedroom should be cooler anyway while you sleep. Close the window when you awaken in morning. I've been doing that for nearly 80 years and rarely do I get flu. My parents started me on that routine as a child. I can’t stand sleeping in hotels/motels with their sealed windows. Get well soon.

Thanks, Mark. No, this will be a shelf model. The "team" kit that goes with it has been out of stock for over a year now. Plus I have no place for another diorama.

Thanks everyone

Yes ! Had a little trouble getting a narrower spray pattern.
