    I got a small package today from Kopecky Scale Models. They had a sale recently that offered free shipping. @ScottsGTmentioned that their parts for the F-35 were nice so I thought I should pick some up.

    To be honest Peter, I would need to find the kit itself. I think the box may still be at my folks' place somewhere but it's not in the stash. If I do find it, then I can certainly look at getting it done.

    Mike, the ZM B-3 kit is on sale at Sprue Brothers until tomorrow. It's 25% off which is a pretty good deal. https://spruebrothers.com/zkmk31105-1-32-zoukei-mura-henschel-hs129b-3/

    I may have shared this before but I started a Monogram stock car years ago. This is as far as I've gotten. The body shell is pretty much done but I haven't done any work on the chassis. One nice thing about the cars of that era, the margins were all vinyl decals so no need for a clear coat.

    A catio for my carpet monster. Sue asked me to build Fursnake a catio as she keeps trying to go outside. Here she is testing it out. Just need to put the roof on it.

    Or if you have broad shoulders.

    I remember when they called him Awesome Bill from Dawsonville. The Coors Thunderbird is one one of those iconic Nascar liveries. Like Richard Petty's blue racers or the Dale Earnhardt's black Chevies.

    Amazing detail on those electronics bays. The Quinta set really pops. Same goes with the engines.

    Thanks! Except I've run into a brick wall. The polycaps that hold the road wheels on aren't in the box. Didn't even know it had any so they must have gotten missed. I'll have to come up with something. Otherwise the fit is too sloppy to be any good.

    Generally I don't have any trouble finding my tools as I know where I've left them. Of course I've jinxed myself now. The problem is when one of mys sons borrows one and then I have issues finding it. Because they don't know where they've put it either. Which is when I remind them to not touch my stuff!!!

    That chalk looks vaguely familiar but not something I've used before. Neat to see how it works. The antenna is a nice touch. Something I've usually left off my builds. But your description on how to do plus PW's ( I think it was him?) from earlier helped demystify it for me. Might have to try it on a future build.

    Kevin, I have 2 benches. One is 8 ft long but my sons have taken over half. The other is about 4 ft as well. But there's lots of floor space. Well, there would be if it wasn't full of open model boxes: You can see where my carpet monster likes to sleep when she's not in my lap.

    Suspension is now complete. Meng has given the kit working torsion springs. I'm not too sure about them as the suspension arms don't seem to sit level. Worse case, I just glue the arms in place.

    See if you can get a case discount John!

    I've got the decals for Big Mac Junior already. Or at least I did.

    Wings are on. The fit was very good. Pretty much no gaps on it. The airbrakes are done as well. The instructions say they're deployed with the wing unfolded so works for me.

    Now this will be different.

    Nice assortment there Rob. I'd be curious to see what the Salvino's kit is like. Looks like they could be nice.
  19. BlrwestSiR
    Glad to hear you have power back Scott. Chris, hopefully your cousins aren't too far behind that and get help and power back too.

    Hubert, thanks for the description of the various steps involved. We recently got a Bambu Labs A1 which is a filament printer. Our youngest has been having fun downloading and printing files that are ready made. Hopefully he gets into the design side of things and he can learn how to make his own stuff.
  21. BlrwestSiR
    At the moment, sometime next year.
  22. BlrwestSiR
    Amazing work Hubert. You make designing and printing your own parts look so easy.

    Very nice cockpit Kevin. I didn't know there was a Tempest VI, just the V and the II. Carl
  24. BlrwestSiR
    That looks really nice there Rog. Great to see so much progress on your place.

    Disappointing that the checkerboard aren't included. Hopefully you can come up with a workable solution. I checked out the link and there is a small blurb that says no checkerboard included. But easy enough to miss. You have to click on Item Description from the seller and then it pops up.
