  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. I think that's more than adequate there Ernie. Looks just like in the pic. Carl
  4. The belts look good Harv. They can be a bit of a pain can't they? Carl
  5. 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
  6. Damn, where'd summer go?
  7. Cool. I keep thinking about getting one for cleaning my airbrush as well. Any pics of what it looks like? Carl
  8. 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.
  9. Thanks for the link Jeff. I'll have to take a look see for a pair of those.
  10. 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.
  11. Yup, I've already gotten complaints there's no for them to build. Might have to get them a small bench of their own.
  12. 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.
  13. 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!
  14. 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.
  15. Really nice build John. Nice and clean as always. Carl
  16. 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.
  17. This should be fun to watch. So John, are going with glossy sea blue or the earlier tri-coloir scheme? Carl
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. Martin, maybe check art stores for Apoxie. I picked up mine from the neighborhood art store.
  21. 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
  22. I'm glad to see it back on the bench too John. Mine is probably about 75% done and has been that way for 10 years at least. Carl
  23. The IP and pedals look great Ernie. At least you only knocked off half the levers. I'd have knocked off most of them. And glued the rest to my fingers. Or worse, to our cat who's always in my lap. Carl
  24. I don't see a Boss 302 Mustang so that can't be it. Might need to use something other than my phone to look at the pic.
