Heck yea! Do it.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how syfi story lines managed to put an ocean going ship into space and made it a space ship. And no, I’ve never looked into it.

Skynet is coming sooner than later…..

Interesting concept. Costs more, delivers half the payload. Probably gets the delivery done a lot faster though. Are they shelving the B-2 or will it stay active for specific roles? I wonder what the support time is per hour of flight vs. the B-2? So when will they start up a new B-52 assembly line. That’s the design I find amazing that has been redesigned and kept in service so long. I just saw the latest upgrades coming for it.

Yes Hubert, this country has become very polarized. It’s a sad situation. I’m going to leave the first comment up to Ernie if he wants to edit it further or delete it all together. So back to the subject at hand….How does the B-21 differ from the B-2? At first glance they look like the same aircraft.

Outfrigginstanding John! Knocked this one out of the park. That would look great parked next to my GSB Cougar. Now I gotta keep my eyes open if a kit comes up for sale somewhere sometime….

I almost chose my Kitty Hawk Kingfisher, but I’ve been jonesing to build a syfy kit for a few years now.

Ernie, if site mods can play, I’m in. Here’s what I plan on doing. For winners in the CONUS, I’ve got the fruitcake gift. It’s the gift that keeps on giving…. Its a 1/32 ZM P-51 unopened I got in a Christmas raffle years ago on LSP. I’m sure I’ll never get around to building it. For lands across the ponds, or our northern friends where shipping the tiniest of a box is outrageous (seriously, wanted to ship G-Factor landing gear to Canada and it was $35 for a padded envelope) I’ll do a $50 gift certificate to the persons hobby retailer of their choice. Sound fair?

Man, I started this kit right when Revell came out with it. According to the box, that was 2008. It’s been neglected long enough. You think the kit is bad enough being this tiny? You should see my crappy work I did back then that I’m having to fix now. But between large scale builds I spend a little time on it. One day I’ll cross that finish line.

1/144 C-17 on the SOD. Putting in some time until the group build starts. Easiest way to paint these tiny wheels and tires white/black? I have 14 to paint. 🤪 ok, my brain was turned off. Took me all of 5 seconds after I posted to remember I have a cheap set of hole punches and the wheel on this 1/144 kit is exactly 1/8” in diameter. Doubled up tape, tapped it with a hammer and peeled off the top “mask”. When I did it directly on the wood it wouldn’t stick to the plastic. I guess either the tape picked up wood fibers or the wood stole the sticky.

Interesting. Everything I’ve ever had go through customs went through Long Island NY customs. Had things sit there up to two weeks.

Snap, Crackle and Pop take the hill? Or maybe they’ll be boarding a plane for a mission?

In honor of the season and the Hogan’s gang…..

I have one ready for paint (partially painted actually) on my SOD. 🙁 Started building as the first Marine 1.

Uhoh…sounds like you guys are about to kick off a mini-group build. 🤣

Well? Get busy man! Start building it.

Got in my Sprue order the other day. They had an MRP restock so I ordered the blues I needed for my KAI Panther Phantom and enough Have Glass and gray for my two F-35 kits. Mr. Color blacks were just because. Also got another 400ml of leveling thinner.

Do it! At this point, I say toss a kit in a bathtub full of water (minus decals and instructions, of course) and call it a wet build. The more the merrier.

Sounds great Ernie! I’ve got jury duty starting tomorrow and fly out to Denver to see our son on the 8th for 4 days. And I’m sure I’ll have a long list the wife will hand me to get ready for Christmas when we get home.

Seriously considering it. Maybe on top of one of the wife’s yoga mats and a rug though. And it doesn’t help I’m almost pear shaped, wider at the bottom.

Feeling better today. Actually just went downstairs and cut up a metal bed frame for the son in law. Had my son doing the heavy pulling and twisting. Seems that my bed may be aggravating the situation. Went to bed Wednesday night and woke up yesterday hurting pretty bad. Loaded up on meds and things calmed down. Last night I tried the bed again. Got up at 1:30 and came back to the recliner for the night. I think my wife put a curse on my side of the bed so I’d leave the room to get rid of my snoring.

I’m good either way. Although Dec can be busy for some.

Yea, restomod seems to be the norm now. Starting to wonder if the trend will reverse one day. I like a few modern upgrades, but the huge wheels and rubber band tires just look stupid on vintage cars. First glance at my ‘66 Mustang, one would think it’s mostly stock. But I did upgrade to 15” wheels to cover the modern disc brakes, it has a MII front suspension with power rack, 4 link rear with coil overs all around. All chrome retained, classic paint style and colors. Motor is a 5.0 Windsor with a Fox body serpentine drive system and aftermarket AC. My son is into the LS/LT swap everything, big oversized wheels, black out all the chrome, etc… Thankfully he’s doing this to Corvettes only.

Is toss it in and forget about it for a few hours. Gotta be warmed up all the way to the core.

Oh man. Never thought about getting a leak like that. Must be murder knowing things got worse when you were trying to improve things. I tried two injections. First one I was back up and going the next day. Felt great, but it was short lived. Doc gave me hell because I was supposed to stay in bed next day then two to three days of laying around watching TV. No one ever told me this. Tried that approach on second injection. Lasted a little longer, but reading about risks of brittle bones, etc. decided the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.
