Craig, yes I knew the place. Whenever I got down to MacDill AFB, I'd pop over there at least once a trip. Found a few bargains and several oldie but goodies. And his stuff migrated all over the country. I bought kits up in Jersey with his store stamp on them. Probably consignment sales from passed away modelers. A good place to hang out for a few hours. We had a few shops like that back in the day. Owner comes in, fires up a coffee pot and opens for business. Spent many a happy hour in places like that socializing and shopping. 👍 -
Sounds good, OC. Give us a head's up next time. We'll bring suitable adult beverages,

VW samba bus conversion by kpnuts - Revell - 1/16 - PLASTIC
Canute replied to kpnuts's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Party bus, I'd guess. -
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.

Hippo/pigs, eh? I almost feel like I could run into a Knight Templar turning a corner in there. Great work, Ekis.

Wood glue
Canute replied to H March's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Yes it will, Don. -
Oh, but you'll know its alright inside the tank.

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.

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.

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.

That's a stunning car, Yves. Thanks for showing the restoration.
