    Happy Thanksgiving folks!

    Thanks Ernie! Hopefully you get to that Eagle one day. Should look spectacular with your skills. Carl

    Dropped in to visit a friend from the U.S. and he brought me a gift. Something most '80s sci-fi fans should recognize: Sure the colours may be a bit off but still.

    What? Not 37"?? Or would that have been overkill?
  5. BlrwestSiR
    Looks like it worked out. Carl

    I saw that and will have to copy that. One of them on mine is broken but I don't have the bit that broke off. Paul was about to send me a replacement when he had his fire.

    Oh man, I have this in the stash. Don't think mine is warped but the intake is cracked. Carl

    We had a conference once at Casino Niagara. I had to cross the casino floor to get to our conference room and got asked for ID by the security guard. I was 34 at the time. He was like "Oops, sorry. Thought you were younger". Only time I've been on a casino floor.

    Still haven't been to Vegas so haven't had a chance to lose all my money. Yet.

    Good for reenacting that scene from Goodfellas. Stunning looking ride Ernie. Glad you pulled that off the SoD. Sue still wants a leadsled of some sort or a stepside pickup. But with the amount of salt on our roads, they're usually just held together by the salt stains and maybe baling wire.

    Rob, I like the approach you're taking with the multiple layers of paint to get that worn look. I did the same thing on my birdcage Corsair. Carl

    If you want a new different engine in a Corsair, look for the F2G Corsair. It also had a bubble top canopy and cut down rear fuselage. I wish someone did that version in 1/32. Carl

    Not sure if full strength ammonia is available here. At least I've never seen it. They are handy jars aren't they?

    I drop empty Tamiya acrylic bottles into a tub with a squirt liquid Tide laundry detergent and water. After a day or two, I have clean jars ready to use. Carl

    Did she win anything?

    Don't tempt me Martin.

    My sons decided to 1) surprise me 2) spoil me For my belated 50th, they got me the following: Now I have confirmation that my sons have way more money than Sue or I. Carl

    Looks great John. Glad you got it off the SoD, even if it was only there for a few hours. Carl

    Looks good Gary. Never built a half-track yet. I have the Dragon M16 in the stash but none of the German ones. Carl

    Ernie, anything you don't have? Blue police phone box maybe? Carl

    More paintwork done before I start assembly on the second mandible. The initial colour coat. Second coat of paint and a bit more refined.
  22. BlrwestSiR
    Thanks! There's so many tight corners and what-have-you that this is probably the best approach to painting it. They're sold by Ammo but are made by HobbyZone. They have different size openings depending on the type of paint brand you want to store. Best part is they're not expensive.
  23. BlrwestSiR
    That really looks great.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    Same here. No tip tanks too if I can get away with it.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    John, I built the Italeri kit which did have issues with the piping being warped. So probably a different problem. Lol. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
