    We're two blocks north of Bloor in the west end. Our lot is actually on the larger size in our neighbourhood. Hard to complain since we actually have a backyard.

    I wish I had even the 30foot part. Our lot is only 16ft wide. Hard to fit 30ft into that. We maxed out at 14 ' wide by 25' deep. Then again, my summer car is only 5' by 8 1/2' long. Which means it'll fit in the trunk of one of Ernie's. Carl

    Rob, both Tamiya and Mr Color lacquer thinners are cool enough that they won't melt the plastic. Don't try it with of their Tool cleaners though as that stuff is much stronger. To be safe I'd recommend trying it on a spare part first or piece of sprue.

    Nice save on the canopy Rob. Good to hear you didn't have to strip the while thing and start over. When I built my F-4D, the canopy had been sitting out for a while and was covered in dirt and overspray. I thought it was a goner but ended up cleaning it off with Tamiya's lacquer thinner. Not only did I get all the paint off without it ruining the plastic but it ended up smoother than before. The thinner does work as a polishing agent but a very fine one. Carl

    Congratulations Martin! Think of all the Mustang parts you can print now. For both kinds, Fox body and planes. And thanks again to Hubert for such a great prize. Hope the move goes well Carl

    I think more likely Martin will end up looking like Kurt Russell's character from the movie.

    With my father-in-law being Scottish, he'd appreciate that comment and toast you on it.

    Looks great Ryan. It'll be like the built up models you see on many Japanese kit boxes. The paint/condition is prefect on them. Building something clean can be much harder than covering up the mistakes with some excess weathering (which I've done on occasion).

    Haven't had a Hertog and doubt it's available in Canada so I guess I'll just have to go for a scotch.

    Nonstop it would seem at the moment.

    So, does Jimmy look like he's got mascara on? I think he's going for the Goth look. Pelicans or the large bug thingy?

    The SDF-1 is finished as far as building goes. I've started on the decals. They're a bit stiff so might try some detail painting instead of using them in some spots. Carl

    Ryan, nice looking cockpit. Very clean as others have mentioned. What plane is it? Something Japanese? Gaz, the figures looks fantastic. I need to practice more on my figure painting. Carl

    Just catching up with your build John. As Frank said, the grey cockpit is definitely different for a Mustang. Reading the description on the decal sheet, the pilot used this to commute to university!! Man, sure beats driving a Honda to attend class. Carl

    Oh man Frank. I hate puking. Even if it's supposed to be good for you. Alright folks my turn to hit the sack. Got a puppy I suspect will be waking me up in four or five hours' time for a bathroom break. Carl

    Ernie, I know you were hoping for bench time but that's not the way to get it. Glad to hear you're mostly on the mend. My niece caught it at New Year's. She's eight and had only gotten her first shot so there's a bit of concern. She's having to isolate at home which is making things challenging for her parents as they've got to keep two young kids occupied and interested. Meantime my sister-in-law is quadruple vaxxed as she's not only an organ transplant recipient but an ER doc. She is so burned out, she skipped Christmas. Carl

    Wait, I thought we had a "The dog ate my model" section already. And welcome back Ryan! Carl

    Nice save on the mantlet and Kaiser is adorable. Same here but with our own pup Jimmy. He gets the idea but isn't quite there yet.

    Stumpy/Black Knight is looking more like a ship now. Need to build the arms/carriers next. Carl
  20. BlrwestSiR
    That looks amazing. Carl
  21. BlrwestSiR
    Great looking plane you'll be flying Frank. And great to hear about your flight to EAA. Carl
  22. BlrwestSiR
    Same here Rob. I get a kit because I want to build it. Their subsequent value is less of an issue since more often than not, they go down down in value rather than up. Carl
  23. BlrwestSiR
    Looks great there Gus. Built one of these a few years ago. OOB is the way to go. Carl
  24. BlrwestSiR
    Plugging away at the SDF-1. Just call me Stumpy... or "it's only a flseh wound"
  25. BlrwestSiR
    A nice start there Gaz. I've used Atak zimmerit a couple times but haven't tried the Cavalier stuff. It does have a nice unevenness to it which adds character. Carl
