Don't let him see any layouts from over here. Guys end up building "empires" in basements or spare rooms. Poor kid will go ga-ga. I'm a little familiar with the gorgeous layouts built in the UK and they are exquisite (two fellows in my train club model British railroads on HO gauge track). I'm always impressed with how they fit so much operation in fairly small (by US standards) layouts. You two will have a lot of fun with a train layout. -
Interesting study of the cap rail colors. May be stretching my skill base using these artist tube paints.

Enzo Ferrari by CDW - FINISHED - Tamiya 1:24 Scale
Canute replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Are those water slide decals or are they glued on? Fascinating look, Craig. -
Great way to get a kid interested in our hobbies. And having his grandpa helping. Good move.
-
Patrick, thanks. Always learning new info on this site.
-
Isn't that similar to the chassis for a Universal or Bren Gun Carrier? It was also a light tank for the British? Interesting.

Silly hover lover.😁

A lot of stuff they do to our pets knocks them down for a day, OC. She'll be her usual in a day or so. Just give her some TLC.

I'll ease on in to the front row for this one.

Not a fun thing there, OC. But, she's part of your family, so handle the poochie first. You can still peruse the fora and add comments as it moves you.

Pretty cool, airlifting that elephant. Mega tranquilizers there. We shipped an F-4D from McGuire to a State Guard facility on the coast of New Jersey. My maintenance guys had to strip out almost everything to get it light enough to airlift. Basic empty weight was about 30K pounds. Engines were the big weight. From somewhere, they got a CH-54 Tarhe or Flying Crane to haul it over there. The Phantom was in a sling setup and the Tarhe took off to begin the hoist. They got hooked up and the lift began. The Phantom was wobbling around and some thought we'd lose it. As the Tarhe got forward speed, the Phantom "weather-vaned" and flew fine all the way to the Shore.

Had buddy in Herks in SVN. He picked up a bunch of Hmong one day and they decided to build a fire in the cargo bay to make lunch. Needless to say, our guys got a little tense.

Ah yes, just add water to reconstitute. Tough to stuff the horses in with the guys.
-
Ah, the Grognard protecting the Wokka. It's a look.

Thanks. Chuck. The sides of the frames line up nicely, according to the wood batten I ran along the line from the notch in the transom forward. I'll double check it later and see how much I can shift it.

There used to be a model railroad company selling systems that generated smells of coal smoke and other industrial odors.Don't know if they still produce any of this.

Best take it to a PM, gentlemen.

Do the French do BBQ trailers? here's a commercial one: https://sleequipment.com/st2400.html?fee=34&fep=198518&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Pull Behind Smokers&utm_term=1101202421458&utm_content=Pull behind bbq grills Down in the Southern US, it's done year round.

I don't think BBQ is part of French Haute Cuisine. Many other great dishes, which this Yankee won't even attempt to spell.

I attached the transom, locking the keel between two of my speed squares to keep it perpendicular ro the transom board. It is square. Whew. I've been fitting and disassembling the keel and frames and see one potential oops. One of the aft frames, #5, seems a little off line with he rest of the frames as thy all sit in their keel slots, unglued. It looks off on the port side, but OK on the starboard. I think I'm OK, but thought I'd ask before the glue up.

Gotta keep buying the newer kits and after-market goodies.

Denis, these more modern a/c have fewer obvious gauges, since everything is digital flat screens. My wife flies in the Civil Air Patrol using a tablet and a few gauges in the Cessna 182s they fly.

Ribs are good, as is brisket. Or pulled pork. Our big argument is the appropriate sauce to apply. We have East(vinegar base) and West(tomato base) North Carolina sauces and some parts of South Carolina favor a mustard base.

EG, here's a review of the Kraken parts on the Steel Navy site: http://www.steelnavy.net/KrakenDesDiv22FBustelo350.html They'll be a nice addition to the kit.
