Can I take it on the Autobahn? High speed cars and I go waaay back. I promise I won't make it take off. -
Craig, I'm in. Will be interesting for the finishing of this staff car.

OC, my wife, the Registered Nurse, agrees with EG on the heat and ice routine. Take good care of your wife, we can wait.

OC, hopefully she gets through all the bruising OK. The purple/yellow stage looks the worst. Thankfully, no concussion.
-
Wish her well for me , mate. That's serious stuff. Once we get to a certain age, we not longer are Gumby. Keep her comfortable.

Making good headway on the Lib, Denis.
-
Looks good, mate. Very nicely done.

They did that with steam locomotive drivers, too. Heat the tire rim in a furnaces so that it expands, move it quickly to the actual driver wheel and place it. Then cool it into place. Since the driver was two parts, occasionally the rim would separate from the wheel, with catastrophic results. The dynamic forces on the drivers were significant with the spinning wheels and the drivers and connecting rods moving along.

Oh, nice a Prinz Eugen. Another gem. I'm in Brother.

Looks like a good time/spot to build the dio. The KGL rallying to repulse the French units. Waterloo was such a wide spread battle, one needs to focus on just one unit's actions.
-
Definitely a happy accident, OC. I like the brownish staining. It looks very good for the stable area.
-
You may want to try Excel brand blades. A better grade of steel.
-
I'll tag along, too. A different take on Ericsson's monitor design.

Some model RR buddies use a gloss dark gray primer for stainless steels in the Alclad line. Gives some depth to the stain steel skins of passenger cars. And some others have tried the Stynylrez yellow primer under their reds, although this is usually undercoating red oxide freight cars.

Very nice work, Chris. They are little jewels.
-
Yep, quite the jet. You notice the only way to make the smoke disappear was to select afterburner/reheat.
-
Even if the speed/Mach meter said we were subsonic, parts of the jet were already supersonic. If you ever had a Phantom show up over a crowd and it's quiet until it's not, that's the effect. I think the military demo teams (T birds, Blues) made use of that with one of their solos, back when they were flying the F-4. Main team out front, dazzled everybody with their precision formations and that pesky solo (old 5 or 6) would come over the crowd from behind the viewing stand and rock your socks off. We couldn't go supersonic over the North American landmass except for designated training areas like the Nellis or Hill AFB ranges in Nevada and Utah. Big reason why the SST was a flop for Braniff, since they were restricted to sub sonic use over the US. Who'd pay premium fares for a cramped ride at the same speeds as a DC-10. Ever since that time, the experimenters have been working on getting supersonic speeds without propagating the shock wave to the ground and irritating the citizenry.

The farm will look great, OC. Very nice build. The KGL will keep the grognards at bay.😉
-
Yes, I'll look into that drone Warthog.😁
-
Nice job with the grain legs. Those things must have been a sight getting moved around the harbor. Well done.
