They sell some handles with a lobe to one side, but the one's in many shops are the blister pack with their usual round metal handle. Tape a piece of a toothpick to the side if you want to stop them from rolling.

Ekis, this is best in show material. Outstanding. -
Aha, welcome to the "Hotel California".

The box showed up fairly quickly via FedEx. Inventoried the parts and read over Tom's instructions (well, looked at the pictures😁). I'll be slow diving into this, waiting for my eye surgeries in March. But, I'll be here following along with the rest of the mates.

kit review 1:48 HMS Granado ‘Cross Section’
Canute replied to James H's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
The parts are cut out by a CNC machine and the builder must fit and final-shape the parts. -
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.

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.
