  1. EG, yeah an Indy car might be a draw, ;)

     

    First builds of a new line can be sporting, Craig. 😄I'm thrashing with some MikroMir Russian sub kits. Limited run kits, no locator pins, skimpy instructions. How many parts can a sub have in 1:350 scale? An exercise is filling gaps with styrene plugs, followed by Mr Surfacer. 🙄

  2. She's looking good, John. 👍

     

    Another glue you might look for is canopy glue. It looks like a white glue, but handles gluing brass etch to plastic nicely. It does dry slow and if you can use some weights or clamps to ensure the parts touch. One brand is Pacer 560. You might find it in an RC airplane shop. It was developed to glue their canopies to their aircraft. ;)

  3. Photos like these show the relationship of the terrain with the structures and vegetation. Maps included in the various histories are good, but being able to see the entire picture really helps to understand a battle. I've been fortunate to be able to walk a number of ACW battles, such as Gettysburg, Antietam and Richmond/Petersburg. These gave me a much better appreciation of events like Pickett's Charge, the Sunken Road and the Crater. Thanks for showing these, OC.
