Very nice job. The diorama looks great. 👍 -
That sheet is loaded, Craig. The lists a bunch of decal sheets for $13 US per set.
-
Chris another beauty. Well done. 👍 Pick up the Airfix B/C model in 1/48. It's supposed to be the cream of the crop. Can do a Flying Tigers B model or a Pearl Harbor C model of Lt George Welch. Or find an appropriate aftermarket sheet if those don't float your boat.

Well done on #1. We can wait while you handle the medical issues. Talk to you later.

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. 🙄

For certain. That was a horrible day, but the Intimidator did his own thing. The HANS (Head And Neck System)device became mandatory after that wreck. Anyway, this build will be enlightening. I'll have to see what draws my attention from SalvinosJR.

Chris, your canopy turned out well. 👍
-
That car has some wrap around head rest/support. Really restricts head movement. The drivers have to be really good scanning their mirrors. But considering the style of racing...

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.

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.

A Flying Tigers P-40 kit was my first kit build. Raised lines to mark panels and markings. Rivets the size of oranges. I must have looked like Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons) assembling that beauty. I am most definitely in. Special Hobby has really upped their game with these improvements.

Keeping my head in the game.....

EG, it looks like the car frame. Tweaking the "small" changes is part of the engineering process. I like it. Hope your health holds. Your entries in any log are always worth reading, even if only for the giggles. -
Nicely done. The stacks turned out great.
-
Well done, Gary. 👍

I'm in, James. This is going to be one, big beast. -
Great shot, OC.👍
-
Your little add-on looks very good, OC. Nice addition.
-
It'll be interesting to follow along.
-
Very impressive, Rob. That's one massive plane. 👍

There was a dirt track in New Egypt, NJ, where I used to live. Friday and Saturday nights. And bring your goggles, because the clay was spread around, especially thru the corners. That was some pretty exciting racing. Wrecks could be spectacular. I'm sure you old gearheads remember jalopy races. 😄
-
Very cool, Craig. Interesting "airboat". Any plans?
-
Wall Stadium in NJ was a hot spot. Now it's a housing development with McMansions. 😝 Trenton, Flemington and Langhorn Racetracks from NJ and PA are memorialized by the big NASCAR track in Mt Pocono, PA. The old tracks became shopping centers and condominiums. 😖
-
Craig, that's a real puzzlement. I like your solution. Do you really want to chase down a set of wheels for this beauty?🙄
-
Frank, I would suspect the wood deck goes over the plastic for support. You will probably have to remove any plastic deck fittings, too. Can you get a copy of the veneer instructions to see what may be required?
