Spent some time wrestling with HGW belts on my Red Baron build....first attempt at these. Red Baron by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr Red Baron by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr Red Baron by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr Ryan

Clunk, you ole' softy.... (i'm one too)

Yeah good one. We were stuck with the name, he was a rescue dog someone surrendered. He can't hear very well or see the best, but if that nose gets a hold of something its over. Only dog I ever had that I cant win a game of hide and seek with, he wins every time!

Nice ride Martin, this was mine before the dealer lifted it with a fork stile car lift and creased the rocker panels twice. They even paid the first time to have them replaced.... image by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr When it happened again I traded it, just too stressful, my marriage also improved. The fully thing is they had a tray still lift for low slung cars, but no one gave a shat to use it unless I was standing right there watching.

This is Roscoe, my best friend. My Pup by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr He actually sits on furniture that way with an arm on the armrest. BTW he was way too heavy in this pic, he was diagnosed with Cushings and now on meds is back to a trim normal weight.

It does take years and cash to have a really nice set up.

Armor is indeed fun. I had to chuckle to myself when at a AMPS competition a couple of the judges were picking out armor done by AC guys. They could tell by the carefully assembly, even paint finish, and minimal or missing weathering! I still like the old school way Verlinden did his armor....reliable techniques that everyone could master. Chipping, pigments, etc. take skill and practice to pull off convincingly.

I really like those Tamiya panel liners. I'd hit it with the dark brown one.

I'll stick up for you Ernie.

I don't even know what i'm looking at. Is that an organ with optional Formica top color chips....from the Organ and Floor Store?

scratch that apparently they are out of bizzzz.

Jeff would Hornet Hobbies carry the line, Dave is a good dude?

Nice set up Bill, for those are considering these here are a few close ups to show clearance, capacity, etc. HZ Set Up by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr HZ Set Up by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr HZ Set Up by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr HZ Set Up by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr HZ Set Up by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr HZ Set Up by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr HZ Set Up by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr Ryan

Ernie, The owner of Cybermodeler, Micheal Benokolin owns a Hobbzone USA store. youcan find it on EBay, I got most of my modules from him and the rest from Lots of Models....and right they are expensive. I would visit the HZ website and layout your desk with measurements first and then develop your module list to purchase. Ill extend this warning too, they are all sent flat pack and you need to glue every together, but they are a great product. Ryan

The resemblance is uncanny.

Yes Hitler was working on weaponizing giant desk lamps and magnifiers.

Ernie I cant work on singular projects either. I think there is a self inflicted emphasis on having the latest resin or PE aftermarket gizmo (or even the latest finishing technique) that can suck the life out of a project. The fine work in print or even on this website also sets the bar very high. My new direction is OOB centered with very little aftermarket to complicate things, after all before any of that there was the fun of building a model. I'm tired of not having fun.

Its interesting how most our desks slowly molt into these hobby store explosions of kits, glues, paints and other materials strewn about.

The fiberglass overcast!

You could hold up a bank with that Peacemaker! I saw it in Telford a couple of years ago, very nice. Ryan

Looks good Ivan, I actually do this type of work for a living. (Engineering Director for a custom cabinet shop) Ryan

Dang Clunk, nice list.

Wow that's nice.

Gentlemen we have a winner!

Man looks like a great product with good directions that are so lacking in some conversion sets. Now we can grab a Yak-18 and make a Dunkirk movie in flight display. Ryan
