Thanks Gaz, one more tool to add to the wish list. I can see plenty of uses for it. Carl

I had a minivan once. Bought a new '97 Caravan back in the day. Didn't have kids or a wife at the time but did have a bunch of mountain bikes which were worth more than the van was (priorities and all) and friends who mountain biked.

Usually it's a really big bright sphere in the sky. Most artistic representations of it are yellow, with occasionally a bit of orange. Glad it wasn't a flesh wound.

For Martin, it did on the weekend. Maybe Jeff too. Still waiting here in Toronto. Carl

As for CF-100 and -105, I only have the Clunk as a 1/72 vac kit. Never built a vac so may have to try. Carl

The decals looks fantastic. I had emailed Mike about upscaling the decals as well so I'm glad he did them. I'll definitely be picking up a set. Hopefully I can get a set of FM 104 as well since that was my neighborhood plane as a kid. Carl

I think that's more than adequate there Ernie. Looks just like in the pic. Carl

The belts look good Harv. They can be a bit of a pain can't they? Carl

Welcome aboard! I haven't actually see too many Mossies built. I've done the Tamiya and HK ones and have another Tamiya to convert to a Tse Tse. Yours has come out really nicely. How did you find it compared to building the MFH Mclaren? As for your user name, here's my Tamiya Seven from a couple years ago. Carl

Damn, where'd summer go?

Cool. I keep thinking about getting one for cleaning my airbrush as well. Any pics of what it looks like? Carl

Actually I thought ahead on that one. They each have their own sprue cutter, sanding sticks and brushes. Unfortunately they've been swiping my cement.

Thanks for the link Jeff. I'll have to take a look see for a pair of those.

Happened to my roommate. He was thinking of getting a new car and his fiancé said it was her or a car. He came home with a new Mazda the next day. He didn't like the idea of ultimatums.

Yup, I've already gotten complaints there's no for them to build. Might have to get them a small bench of their own.

This pic is from a couple years ago. It's when my wife briefly considered one for our family car. She figured since they could buckle up Thier seatbelts on their own a Challenger would be fine. Changed her mind when she saw the mileage. Maybe we'll try again in a couple years... Thanks Harv! They play the odd game but we've managed to limit their time on tablets and what have you. With some recent studies having come out on the impact of mobile devices and TV on really young kids, we're kind of glad too.

Well, I think I've run out of bench space. I'm having to step over kits just to get to my bench. It's not much better behind my bench either... Guess there's only one thing to do... ...I've got to finish something!

The good stash is all in big kits so they're harder for them to pull out. For now at least... Their interest in cars have already started. Findlay was recently upset at the possiblity that autonomous cars might eliminate his chance at learning to drive in 8 years. We told him truly self driving cars are much further away and not to worry.

Really nice build John. Nice and clean as always. Carl

That's the plan. I'd lost one of the exhaust stubs but recently found some resin ones so hopefully I'll get it finished this year.

This should be fun to watch. So John, are going with glossy sea blue or the earlier tri-coloir scheme? Carl

So true guys. No requests yet for AM but it's only a question of time... This morning I go woken up because my oldest Findlay wanted a sanding stick as Edward wasn't sharing. It turns out they'd woken up at 630 and raided the stash. Thankfullybi have some older 1/72 Hasegawa kits so good practice for them. Carl

I was on the 401 (Trans Canada Highway) going from Montreal to Toronto and was doing 130 kph (around 80mph) which is 30 over the limit. I see a car catching up behind me as I'm passing a couple 18 wheelers in the left lane. The minute I clear the trucks the car flashes its high beams so i move over. It's an OPP ( Ontario Provincial Police) cruiser. I think I might be in trouble but nope, just wasn't going fast enough for him. These days though, with the new street racing law here in Ontario, it's best to stick to 120-125 on 400 series highways. Carl

Martin, maybe check art stores for Apoxie. I picked up mine from the neighborhood art store.

So my 6 year old son is working on a Revellogram 1/72 F-14 snap kit and blurts out " Whoever made this kit did a terrible job! I can't get my cutters around the (sprue) tab as it's in a stupid place." This is one of the few snap kits he's put together. He's built a few regular kits already but this was out of a loot bag from his birthday party so I thought would be a quick build. I think I've let the monster out of the cage and he'll be demanding only Tamiya or Hasegawa kits from here on. Carl
