Solder wick. I was a professional solderer for over 30 years. 🤪 Brush on a little soldering paste (rosin) first and it will flow like water.

The look on Jerry’s face is priceless here if you know who he is.

I’d comment if it WASN’T there! But a grease gun. Oh man. My favorite.

I just got my wife’s leftover gambling stash. She got on the floor to stretch her back and it fell out of her pocket. Let’s just see how long it takes her to discover it’s missing.

Pffttt… Already tried. “You have enough already!”

Out in Colorado. She just hit a big one.

Welcome Dean. Looks like an interesting project. I’ll be watching this one!

(My Feelings deleted) let’s not turn this one into another political issue please. although a very political subject , I understand …Scott

And then come July we’ll kick of the “Christmas Raffle” group build!

I think it’s $600.

Here you go Ernie. Fill it out in triplicate, and we’ll take care of it

Had one of them offer me a date in Vegas one time. Told her I was good because that’s my wife sitting at that machine right there, as I was pointing to her. My coworker was known as the 40 yo virgin. Pointed to him, but that guy there, he could use your help.

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…..
