@lmagna Lou did some Google searches and came up with these 3 additional kits in the series. Looks like the kit origin is Ukraine. Have not seen the others offered in any of my online hobby stores, only the 1st in series. All are 1:35 scale.
-
Don't know the origin. Just a cool looking figure, challenging to paint, not expensive either. So I bought it. He's supposed to be from some futuristic war. Box shows 3 additional figures in series. Update: Lou, here's the back story that appears on the box. I've never heard of this series before but I do like the challenge of painting this figure.
-
In today's mail came the following goodies So at some future point when I again get bored with the Constellation build I will more choices in the stash. BTW the figure is 1:35 scale about 2 inches tall, should be fun painting him. 🙂 I am back working on the Constellation, I will post updates in that build when I make a little more progress on it.

That is correct. Temps keep swinging from 20s F to mid 40s F (minus 6 C to +7 C). Not even suitable for ice skating.. But we still have Feb and Mar ahead of us. Surprisingly there have been a goodly number of ice rescues of pet dogs falling thru the thin ice on ponds and some lakes, and a few humans too, but a lot of pets needing rescue this winter.

Ah but for us Northern Hemisphere folks it is time for an envigorating sail. Now to just find some hard water 😀🙃

In NY yes, they must be installed in every school bus. Not sure about wearing one tho.

I have their entire miniature tools set. Like you say, not toys, very functional tools

In the Lands of Lake Effect Snow (western NY) there are 2 criteria for closing for snow day, 1.) Windchill or steady air temperature of minus 15 F or lower, or, 2) 12 or more inches of snow . Otherwise school is in session. In my day the school buses had chains on driving wheels.

Yep ! Took 7 feet of snow (over 48 hours) and 12 years before my granddaughter got her only snow day from school.

Outstanding !

"Originally, the PT Cruiser was to come out as a Plymouth product. It was originally to be short for "Plymouth Truck" or "Plymouth Transport". It's also a slight abbreviation of the original show car prototypes called the PRONTO Cruiser. When Daimler bought Chrysler .... , they got rid of the Plymouth brand and so the Cruiser was then shuffled into the Chrysler family - to become the "entry level" Chrysler. At that point, it was then changed to mean "Personal Transport"..." The term I have always heard associated with it is "gangsta car" 😉

Yea, I have to be careful they don't accidentally scalp me when I am running around the work area 😊🙃

Here is what I mean by large models Current build In stash previous C130 variant - 25 inches in length over 24 in wingspan same scale as above oh and here's another model, largest scale model plastic aircraft kit ever offered. As you can see, all hanging from rafters in basement collecting dust. And at my rapidly advancing age it is downsize not upside. 😋🤫🤔 But I will find a surprise for all of you. Patience, Grasshoppers !
-
Don't have to do much digging with my stash. 😒 Biggest problem is the size of the finished model(s). No more display room for them.
-
Whew ! The two bottles that popped up on the London Whiskey Exchange were £993 plus change per bottle. Redbreast over here runs between $50 and $75 a bottle last time I bought one.
-
Was not familiar with that label so I Googled it. After looking at the price at The Whiskey Exchange for one bottle,, I picked myself up off the floor and got my heart restarted.
-
I've done that for priming but not final color. Can you build a jig like the one JAVLIN uses for decalling his plane, like one I copied from him ? You could use it to support the tank while spraying. Mine was done using a simple cordless power drill with Forstner bits (3/8 inch)
-
That window strip is one continuous decal with clear areas where the windows fall. Very tricky to install, especially going under the wing and getting it aligned. Not sure ! Maybe drop back 40 yards and punt 😁 the Constellation still awaits my return ! So ???
-
Me too ! I built a Tamiya version some 20 years ago, mine doesn't look as detailed as this one. Edward, do you have a nice bottle of 12 year old Redbreast in that bar ? Pour us a wee dram if you please ! 😜
-
Impressive bird, Denis. Nice job.
-
Lou, Edward, Mike, OC, thanks for the compliments. You're too kind.
-
Yea, I heard they even fly in formation and attack like a squadron of dive bombers 😉
-
Well, I guess it didn't come out too bad after that in flight collision with that flock of attack eagles over the Canadian arctic ! 🤪 Man they do grow them big up there. Final photos follow:
