Well organized tests, Bradley. Great food for thought. -
Getting artsy with the mantlet shot. Well done, OC.

Yeah, Denis, thanks. When Free-Time Hobbies, in north Georgia, had a store front, I stopped in with several buddies when passing thru the town. Sort of like wandering in a museum for some of the kits, plus a lot I never seen before. Very wide selection of planes and armor. Backer would have liked the armor section. They specialized in ships, mostly the more modern stuff, post WW I. There were stacks of plastic, resin and PE. It was heaven. They've since shut down the store front and just do internet/mail order.

Interesting subject, Patrick. be a good one to follow along. -
Denis, where do you go to search for these oldies?
-
That's a stunning car, Yves. Thanks for showing the restoration.
-
Another good one, Denis. A different paint scheme to be sure. I like it on the pad, too.

In Jersey or New York, that's a nuisance snow. Here in the Carolinas, it's a major storm.

I don't wanna grow up and have to be a responsible adult.

kit review 1:48 HMS Granado ‘Cross Section’
Canute replied to James H's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
I'd be interested, too. I have one on the way; just biding my time due to my eye issues. Should be good in 6 weeks or so. -
Nicely done Denis. There are just so many different configurations for lighthouses. Yours is a beauty. The lighting will really enhance it.
-
Dan, good looking bird. I remember building a number of the old Airfix ones. learned a lot about fixing them.
-
Good job, Denis. Decals can be a bear to find/acquire the ones you really want.
-
Cheap is good and it will get other use, too. Good deal.

The Chopper in its various iterations works great on thin plastic and wood. I have 3 and like the one Ryland showed, since I can replace the cutting surface. Older ones were more likely to get gouged out under the blade. Cutting much over 1/8 inch thick stock, the razor blade deforms, marring the cut. I've done better with a low sided miter box, in conjunction with a razor saw, to make good standard angle cuts. If you need different angles, you may have to cut those angles into your miter box or make up separate cutting fixtures to cut those special angles. We're all tool junkies to a lesser or a greater degree, but sometimes KISS comes into play, too.

I'm in, too. IMSA/SCCA cars are sweet.
-
Nice work, finessing the M1 track into the Chally.
-
Very nice work, Michael. Those dinky engines are a fascinating study. PS. I do hope the engineer/Engine driver in that last is drinking some sarsaparilla. Else, he'd be violating Rule G of almost any railroad about intoxicants.
-
Turned out well Jack. Looking good.
-
Yeah, with snow like that, corners can be adventures. They usually make them 4 way stops, at least in the places I've been, like Anchorage, AK and Goose Bay, Newfoundland.
-
Quite the looker, Craig. I think I'd like a bit more stability of 4 wheels versus 2 if I'm smokin along at 200.

Rye Field Models. After you and, I think it was Craig (CDW), showed their kits, I was sold. Read a few reviews on some armor sites, too. I can do research, just not able to see well enough to do the fine bits and bobs you're working on. Got another month before my first op on right eye, then 2 more weeks for the left one. I'm already cranky from the lockdown and it's too darn cold outside with the wind event we've had going on around here. Most of the white stuff Jack and Denis got up north was a swing and a miss down here. We got a bare inch of mostly slush. It's -2C right now with a wind chill making it -9C.
