I liked Antonio Banderas in Zorro, although Tyrone Power was good, too. -
We're OK, Alan. The worst was losing a lot of refrigerated and frozen items. I may have to drive a bit further because of the detours. I only have 1 way off my street; the second route requires crossing a ford. Easy in my F-150, high clearance. My Ford Edge with have the front valence removed by the banks of the ford.

That's a great steer to a handy product, Chris. I got myself on the AK Interactive newsletters and see lots of goodies from them. I too order from them direct; they also offer some weathering pencils, too.. Stock on this side of the pond is spotty at best. Fellow put on a great demonstration at an NMRA Regional convention last year and his work on a number of structures had to be see to be believed. I believe he took best in show.

Alan, your doing a great job, turning that sow's ear of an interceptor into a decent model. 👍
-
Fitting of the wings and tail need some filler. Special Hobby has some neat aircraft, but the fitting leaves a little to be desired.

You did a great job modeling this workhorse. Weathering is superb.

Nicely done with your leather strapping, Rich -
You haven't lost it; it was just hiding out. Are those real rubber tyres? Very cool.

Thank you all for the good wishes. Being without TV or phone was a nuisance, but all we had from Friday of the storm was intermittent texting. Apparently, in the haste to get all the electric types of utilities, somebody cut a fiber-optic cable. Kudos to Duke Power and all its contractors replacing power poles and restringing wire. I do hope you weather this next storm out in the Gulf, brother.🫡

Nicely done, Alan. Has a little bit of , maybe, Errol Flynn in him.

Well done, Greg. 👍 That scene reminded me of a few winters in Bitburg, Germany in the mid 70s. Brr!

OC, I talked with my Ophthalmologist after my cataract surgery. The new lenses made my distant vision very good, no glasses needed. The near vision for reading and computer work required over the counter readers of a specific strength. We tinkered with that strength to figure my typical work zone. So, don't bail out of this project. You'll work something out.

We are getting clobbered with rain here in western NC. Yesterday we set a record with 4.1 inches. Drought, what drought. Biggest issue is some road cuts in US highways. Rainband from the northeast into Helene runs right over the top of Henderson County. This stuff will keep at it until Saturday. 😞

Glad to read your results, OC. Take a little R&R from the 'puter.😃
-
Well the bull ride was the required 8 seconds. Well done, cowboy. 😉

Peter, take frequent breaks to rest your eyes. Or else you'll go cross-eyed. 😉

You really got the staining down. Always like the African paint schemes.

That yellow looks so good on this Porsche. And the pup looks good, too. Saw a lady last week with one as an emotional support dog. It was a cutie, too.

F-51D Mustang by ERS Rich - Tamiya - 1/32 - PLASTIC

Well done with the NMF, Rich. -
I liked your photo thru the entryway off the platform. Very realistic.👍

There 2 parts of the old D&RGW left, both are tourist lines in spectacular areas. The line you rode is now the Durango and Silverton, running between those named towns in southwestern Colorado. The other segment is the Cumbres and Toltec, operating between Chama, NM and Antonito, CO. The C&T does a little freight hauling, too. Antonito was also the northern terminus of the line to Santa Fe, NM. That line disappeared in the late 40s, I think.
-
I'm in, too, Chris
-
The roof walk/running board makes the car look like one of the passenger cars used on the Denver and Rio Grande Western branch that ran into New Mexico from Antonito, Co to Santa Fe, NM. Some of these cars had a handrail along side, also.

I have 2 from UMM, both flush cutters. One is about a .25 inch head, the other is narrower. They do cut flush, but I also cut the parts off the sprue with a Tamiya cutter. They're better for the thicker sprues in some kits. The UMMs are for cleanup. If cutting resin, cut as far from the parts as possible and work back towards the part. These resins can be brittle and the snap of the cut may break the part. I bought a dental tool, suggested somewhere on this forum, to experiment with cutting the resins closer to the parts.
