Frank, I used those green Velcro cloth plant ties to hold my boat to the back seat of the car. I loop it thru the child safety seat anchors hidden under the car seat back placing one leg under the build board and the other leg under the boat and over the board. Overlap the two legs about 5-6 inches and the will hold it fast to the car seat. Drove 3 hours with a model to conference and return 3 hours with no ill effects. The strips are about 1/4 inch wide and can be found in the garden section of Lowes or Home Depot. -
Shop Fire Extinguisher
Jack12477 replied to Roger Pellett's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
A fire extinguisher that is rated 2A:10 BC means it has a fire fighting capacity equivalent to: 2.5 Gallons of Water and 10 Square Feet for a BC Type Fire. The letters stand for the class of fire the extinguisher can be used against: A – ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, plastic, etc.) B – flammable liquids (oil, gas, petroleum, etc.) C – electrical equipment D – metals K – cooking oils and fats -
I bought 2 AL kits directly from Tower Hobbies about a month ago. Both kits came in boxes that were taped closed and all the contents were sealed in shrink wrap. In fact all the AL kits I have purchased in the last 5-10 years have come that way and none had missing parts. Was your kit sealed when you received it? According to News reports Horizon Hobbies acquired Hobbico in April 2019, at least the RC business unit. Tower Hobbies still has an active website.

Looking good, Denis !

OC, don't feel embarrassed. As you say, MSW is one very big family and while the vast geographical distances between us prevent us from physically assisting you, we can lend you support and encouragement and our prayers.

Sorry to hear this OC. I echo Carl's and Black Viking's advice connect your local legal authority for advice and assistance. Here in the USA a landlord cannot evict either without a court order.

Nice model, Denis. Did you know that you can visit/tour the Seven Foot Knoll lighthouse, oldest screw pile lighthouse in Maryland, at Pier 5 in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. It sits atop the pier now and is open to public. Admiral and I took our granddaughter thru it about 5 years ago. Worth touring. The Thomas Point is open for tours also but not as easy to get to as Seven Foot Knoll.

Sorry to hear about your health issues. Glad you are back with us. Boat looks great. We wish you a speedy recovery.

Good luck with the hand surgery. My wife had carpal tunnel plus "trigger finger" surgery done last year on both hands. All is fine now.

If these are walnut or dark red-brown in color, they may be the planking for the 2nd planking. Mine has a double planked hull with the 2nd planking being thin walnut strips about 0.5 mm thick.

Steve, are you still in that area ? If so, I am about 50 plus miles south on west shore of river.

Kevin, go look at Mahuna's build log of his skipjack Kathryn. He used a gel that acted like a heat synch to protect already done solder joints while he did the next one. Or send him a PM . It seemed to work well for him

Is she serving "hot tongue and cold shoulder " ?

I took my granddaughter to see these models 5 years ago, age 7-8, she found it fascinating, even the "mannequins". Great photos! Thanks for posting.

But isn't that "a cold day in February" for Florida ? <evil grin>

Sig, the USS England is a Buckley class DE, so you could use it to build the Ruben James.

Nice ! BTW who did the crow/raven and moose woodcarvings in the background ? You ?

USS Reuben James (DD-245) Clemsen class destroyer, USS Reuben James (FFG-57) Oliver Hazzard Perry class guided missile frigate or USS Reuben James (DE-153) Buckley class destroyer escort ???

My ice boat club sailed our club's 50 ft ice yacht Jack Frost 16 miles down that lake at 90 MPH back in the mid 1990s?
