I'm curious to see the "M8A1 Airfield Pavement Slabs". I've been planning to 3D print some of those soon, and would love to see how they did theirs.

Having towed many a trailer and driven many large trucks in my life, and also having been responsible for actually designing quite a few large parking lots in my regular line of work, I can tell you that most people who lay them out have not a @#&*((&%$ clue what they are doing. The sad part is that those design standards are readily available if you take a few minutes to look, yet we still get poorly engineered things like what you mentioned. A sad commentary on modern standards of acceptance.

I'm saving that....

Amen to that!!!

Just saw on FB that Harv is awake and doing well enough to be talking on the phone!! Woohoo!

Oh man!! I'll be praying.

I've noticed! The prices have gone nutty recently. Most seem to be around 150, which is more than I am willing to pay atm.

That is extremely cool! Really makes me want to have a go at that kit! Tim

Before I went back to the architecture field, I worked for 6 years in the hop industry, making ingredients for almost every beer on earth. The irony of having such a job is that I HATE beer, all beer. I drink bourbon, so it's probably a good thing I didn't work at a distillery, or I'd probably still be there. And an alcoholic. 😁 Tim PS - Oh yeah, I hate all wine, too. And I live in central Washington state, the largest hop growing region in the US, and a HUGE wine producing area, too.

How did I miss this, Ernie? That turned out out fantastic!!

Yikes!! Prayers for both of you buddy. That crap runs in my wife's family, so always on our minds.

I've watched episode 1 and, while I usually love Guy Ritchie films, it's leaving me tad MEH so far.

I am considering organizing this for Nats this year, like I did for Phoenix in 2018. I have not made up my mind yet, but I am doing some research and getting info, so tell me what you think. I will post some design options when Clunk or Jim gets me the .PNG file of the logo. Tim

I that's for real, this person should be given a medal!

Damn the total lack of consideration for your privacy!

Naw, we're still young'uns compared to most of the other codgers that frequent this place!

Shwing!!!

Certainly makes me seem old at 55 then, doesn't it?

Really nice work - especially impressed with the figures, and at 1:48? Holy cow! I can barely build anything at 1:32. Tim

Me too. I love fufu coffee, I just hate Starbucks.

I don't really do GBs, but that's a cool idea!

I bet the pins striking that plate contributes to a lot of the track noise on the ones I've heard in person. There is definitely a load "clacking" sound noticeable - that's probably what I'm hearing.

I seriously do wish Kotare the best, and am super pumped to see them putting out stuff of this quality. I have not bought one of the Spits yet, but I plan to, and will look forward to whatever else they are planning, even though I'm not really in the market for another late 109. I have two in my meager stash already. I also agree that they will probably not do any American stuff, but I do think that a P-38 (of any ilk) or early Mustang of this quality would be like printing money.

If it were this, I would buy 2 or 3.....

Meh.😋
