It's Alive!!! I now frame it out in padauk 1/2"WX1/16'T I will start on the top and ends with the end being 3/8"W and the top making the last 1/8"

Looking good John.

Thanks Peter finally one to fell good about.I started a little 1/72 DH89 all going good for the most part and go looking further down the road and missing a tailplane That is the forth kit in a row wearas I am beating walls to get something done I bought 2nd hand the kit for little so I......Trash canned it.

Some proper pics of the finished A/C guys.The build was pretty straight forward being a Tamy kit and all I did add an AM Pit don't ask me who but it was way better than the kit.I managed to lose a gear leg cover and had to make a new one from scratch.

My reaction also Mike just Fantastic!!

I thought the same Martin with Naval subjects a Nice display makes all the difference.

That's looking pretty sweet Brad!!

I have started on the plexiglas case measures 50"+X7 1/4"X14" something I have been shying away from has actually been easy.I have about an 1 1/4 hours cutting and gluing the four sides together I will let this sit over night and do the top tomorrow.I have seen a money making opportunity methinks fellas??I have seen people pay serious money for those 1/2 the size of this without exotic wood underneath!

looking great as usual Peter got to wonder though what is the process on the screw heads?

Me and John had some correspondence some time back exchanging addi's/parts but no phone numbers strangely that corr. and others are gone..

calling this one done she came out half-way decent and you are hard pressed to tell which door is the fabricated one.She is in the rack thought the legs had harden enough but not quite yet..

I decided not to wait the replacement should work well enough Now if nothing gets thrown at me maybe a decent build for a change.

Not a bad looking paint job but another mojo builder has thrown a monkey wrench into the hat! I lost a lower gear leg door why why why this is like 3 builds in a row with hang-ups it's getting frustrating I may make one in the next week or so.

Well it was the easiest choice Scott when you think about it unlike the G-43,Fn-49's or the unfired Enfield those are hard to track down M1 Garand will they are all over.I P/U my truck in 2017 with 82K on the dash I just like that ole truck smaller than the 2014 and more power.

It happens to me at times seems to be the consistency of the paint with lacquers go thinner 15/17 psi.I Just did some acrylic Tamy white and went to thin with Mr.Level thinner and got a touch of spittle thinking acrylic is pretty thin out the bottle already? I use a Badger Renegade fine tip.

I can tell you what's not on the desk anymore an Eduard P-51 and not for Eduard's fault mine at painting seems to be an issue of late.The plane came out OK but trust me I wanted to bin it.I now have a Tamy 1/48 D-9 on the desk and again the paint mojo killer strikes I paint the tail band red/yellow ...yep was suppose to be yellow/red and it was Nice effort

I cannot do that maybe the location being 1/3 of a mile from the Gulf of Mexico.I saw this morning like 87/88' at 8AM with a heat index up around 100' you sweat like a pig and everything sticks to ya.I use to wait till like 11AM/12pm to start work on the shop the humidity will drop from 80% to 60% still hot but we get a gulf breeze about 12PM everyday 5/10mph it helps.

That's good I was thinking a child had come along about the same time glad he's doing OK.I P/U the MkVI when SB had it 1/2 price if I am lucky going to be NMF my painting or lets sat attention to details has been off of late.

Familiar with those Scott at the in-laws house keep it greased when it breaks you are almost F__ it's brass and for some reason still turn to junk might be when you are done and gone though.The in-laws is probably 30years old.

Very Nice Scott will be worth it's weight in gold in the long run.So...let's think about some more work for Scott?? Insulation for the pipes a removable box of sorts with insulation for the pump....I think I am starting to understand Scott "I'll just keep a good drip going Kevin"

My other Hobby?? will something that has to be done.The ole 89 F-150 the shifter took a dump will to fix the transmission had to come out and the cover removed.I have an customer who has a shop drop the tranny for me while I take it to my Transmission guy to fix.The damage was just in the shifter both forks and some rods $650 back in three days and John the installer had it in one day $450 total.So...I am out $1100 OK but John tells me my rear end is going out sure enough pinion bearings Now I am not ordering through work($1500) or getting Stan's(1500) the race guy to rebuild it I rebuilt a couple when in the machine shop but the kicker I had to Sell a really Nice M1 GARAND!! but I surmise I can always find/buy another one one dayI am using my Son's 2014 F-150 XLT lariat ATTM Nice truck just to big and you know an ole 302 sure gets up and goes

Coming along Nicely Jeroen and how is Cees Broere? I use to converse with some maybe at LSP years ago I believe was just getting into lathes and such... like you Buzz Light Years ahead of my mere mortal talents.I think Javlin at the time.

John the Eduard's have always gone together well for me just never went for the 1/32.Looking promising!

Could pick a theater?era/time?favorite Pilot/plane .................

Looks like the real McCoy Rob or Crocker....
