  1. Sounds good, OC. Give us a head's up next time. We'll bring suitable adult beverages,
  2. Something to keep in mind on the base color. You may look at a dark gloss gray instead of the black. Scale passenger car painters say the black base is too dark for the the Alclad chromes and some shades of stainless. May require some testing.
  3. Hippo/pigs, eh? I almost feel like I could run into a Knight Templar turning a corner in there. Great work, Ekis.
  4. Kevin, James, et al.. Thank you all. The inactivity is making me nuts. The Admiral listens to my whining, but she has enough other things to deal with. I'm marking up the part sheets today, so I can feel like I'm participating in the build.
  5. Somebody must be the lead rabbit; just not me. I'll do what I can, like marking the various part sheets and such. I'm working under a rather bright light to read any fine print. I have 3 weeks to the first op.
  6. 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.
  7. Crikey, Greg, that's very good. You're capturing the ship admirably. 👍👍
  8. Ekis, this is best in show material. Outstanding.
  9. 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.
  10. The parts are cut out by a CNC machine and the builder must fit and final-shape the parts.
  11. Well organized tests, Bradley. Great food for thought.
  12. 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.
  13. Interesting subject, Patrick. be a good one to follow along.
  14. That's a stunning car, Yves. Thanks for showing the restoration.
  15. WOW, you have everything, including the kitchen sink on that section. 👍
