  1. Outstanding! Me thinks this is not your first rodeo ! He belongs in the MET ! Early Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳
  2. Looking appropriately foreboding! Nice work on face. Sorry about Covid, I've had it twice since being vaccinated and boosted. 😠
  3. Hmm ! Over a year now since my last post! I'm still here, model too, just got bored with it and decided to try some plastic kits as a change of pace. As MacArthur said at Corregidor "I shall return!"
  4. Welcome ! It's been pretty wet over here in the Colonies also.
  5. Ahem! Don't you mean pushes a button while carrying a RFID chip fob in their pocket! 😉😉😊😇 All we do now is wave our hand and the doors unlock or the trunk lid/tailgate opens magically. 🤔 Open Sesame !!
  6. A bit of medical research history: (from Roswell Park Cancer Center website) "1938 Morton Levin, MD, begins collecting information about the smoking habits of Roswell Park patients. The data will later provide the foundation for his report "Cancer and Tobacco Smoking," published in 1950 in The Journal of the American Medical Association. The report is among the first to sound the alarm about the link between smoking and lung cancer". Note the dates !
  7. Hi Chuck, is that 1st photo Montauk Lighhouse? What is that white square shape airport control tower looking structure behind it ? Don't remember seeing that when I last visited it. Is that one of those coastal submarine watch towers from WW2, like the ones still dotting the Delaware coast?
  8. I'm back ! Medical issue is under proper management for now. Once I get past a few out of state high school graduations and a few assorted doctors appointments, we'll be back in the model shop. I did manage to get the vegetable gardens planted when I came back. The flower gardens exploded into bloom while we were gone. Today it hit 90F and climbing. Normal highs for this time of year in this area are low 60s F to maybe 68F. Ugh !
  9. Sounds like Mr Btfsplk paid you a visit. Nice recovery ! Folds look good.
  10. Could it be the number of letters in English versus German and the models scale ? FIRE versus Feuerlöschgerät
  11. Thanks guys, I'm at my daughter's in Buffalo seeing a specialist, will update you when I get back home.
  12. Alan, are you going to use acrylics or oils to paint these figures? If acrylics, you might want to invest in a wet palette. I use the Sta-Wet brand from Michaels about $18 with 5 sheets, 8.5"×7"×1. Refill packs are about $9 . I use mine extensively, very worthwhile accessory, it will keep paint wet overnight.
  13. I agree with OC. The details look great on both figures. Glad your vices arrived [pun intended] 😊
  14. Check out Hollowneck's HMS Sphinx discussion on making sea scape for his ship diorama starting at Post #400.
  15. Nope ! Those the out of box Tamiya tracks, which unlike other kit model tracks don't disintegrate after 5-10 years.
  16. For now I'm calling Walker tank #1 complete. I decided to hold off on weathering and/or camouflage until I decide on how I want to display it and the Walker tank #2 kit build is completed. But both will have to wait a while until after I deal with a medical issue that just cropped up unexpectedly. Note to Moderators: This build log is NOT FINISHED YET, only part 1 of 2 is finished. And there is a possibility of a diorama to be added to this build thread. The Walker tank model #1:
