    Kurt Johnson got a reaction from Old Collingwood in Medieval Fortified Village by Ekis - 1/87 scratch base kit Aedes Ars   
    Ekis,
     
    It looks like such an enjoyable project. I’m sure the planning is as much fun as the building! When you’re done you should get a GoPro camera and give us a walking tour!

    I always liked the boat tails. Here’s an Auburn I saw this past summer in the town next to mine. Cars had a lot of class then. I’m going to enjoy this build.

    I just purchased from EBay a Norris drafting set, just because. I love stuff like this. What’s the best thing to clean them up with. Isopropyl and a q-tip.? I had a nice set back high school, but that was before dirt came into existence. All we had were rocks then. It’s actually in great shape, just the nooks and crannies need cleaning.

    Ditto,  Thanks Lou.  
     
     
    OC, It is a video worth watching. The amount of work and precision that went into the project is amazing.  The Spits where advanced creatures and cutting edge technology at the time. It is a video ( in 4 parts worth watching).

    OC,
     
    She's coming along marvelously! I love all the spitfire marks, the MK1 best of all. Have you seen the Guy Marshall special about the reconstruction of a BoB MK1, it's really a great piece of work. It' on you tube, its a Channel 4 Full episodes video. Sorry I could get the link to work right, there shouldn't be any problem finding it. Sorry too, if you've already watched it.

    I guess we haven’t come that far. Approx 60 percent of turning accidents with another vehicle or a pedestrian in the US  is when making a left hand turn. The version is blocked by post at the corner of the winshield.  I could see if the top was down and your passenger had long flowing hair,  the offset seat would keep their hair out of your face. You wouldn’t hear them screaming  as much when you really cut it close either!

    Supposedly the offset seats gave the driver more elbow room. I guess for whipping around those wicked corners. No drifting!

    Kurt Johnson got a reaction from Peter Bloemendaal in The Traitor of Treasure Island by John Drake - A good read   
    I read much more than watch TV and have been doing quite a lot lately. I was searching around for something new on Kindle and found The Traitor of Treasure Island by John Drake. I figured why not even though I’ve read Treasure Island several times but a long time ago. Anyway I was very pleasantly surprised. It was very well written and a really good version of the tale. I highly recommend it. A little escape is good during these times. The author seems to have a number of similar books which I’ll give a try. For $4.25 it was well worth it.
