  1. Thanks for posting! I have a collection of 5 Metal Earth kits and have been hesitant to try one. 🫤
  2. Welcome! Political opinions aside, Washington state is one of Gods masterpieces of creation. You and I will be within 30 minutes of each other. Let me know when your settled. 👍😀
  3. Hi Jack, Is there another name than Jack you go by? There are several Rattlesnake builds going on, some Model Shipways and even a scratch build. I will definitely follow along with you! Welcome aboard. 👍😀
  4. Hi John, I can relate! We had our first good freeze last night (28 deg) and gardening is over for the year. I have walked into the man cave all summer and see my Rattler right where I left her in the spring, knowing our winter is coming and I’ll get back at it. Like you (and many others I’m sure), sometime during each day, I open up the forum to see what’s going on with the builds I follow. Ive learned that lots of builders share other parts about their lives and hobbies and it’s fun to see them share! I too have surmised the rattlesnake (being a single plank construction) is not the robust tough easy to handle ship that a double planked hull model is. I remember “man-handling” my Lady Nelson and it surprised me how tough it was. Look forward to getting back at it and seeing your progress as well. 👍😀 Dave
  5. Sweet! Got to go on a carrier “plane guard” when our Navy flew them. 👍😀
  6. Gotta love those Pards that know what they’re doing with the 3D thing. Excellent bartering (one gardener to another)! 👍😀
  7. Thanks Ed, I bought the MS paint set for the Rattler, however, I won't use the hull paint they have in the set... It's too dark for my liking, kind of like an almond brownish, sort of, kinda. 😆 I have taken the summer off, big garden, golf, good weather etc.. However, I bring up the forum everyday and keep in touch with the folks and the builds I'm watching (especially the rattlers). 👍 😀
