So a young Ladd as we called him at work mentioned how he liked to build a River Table and started showing me some videos to which I said ".I know of them".I mentioned that I have a piece of Cedar sitting in the shop for ten years now just waiting for an opportunity and for him to come by and look at it.The ladd(Cam) liked the board and so it began I gifted the board and the rest was on him.Cam built the boxes bought $300 dollars of mix/tools and this is where we are at.I visited one of our local lumber yard/Mill to see about planing down the boards seeing I only have a 13" planer he sent me back home to remove the excess epoxy on the bottom so I went an bought a Bauer 3 1/2" electric planer and cordless(I say Bauer is right up there with Makiata in some regards).What you see on the floor thus far is about 1 1/2hrs of work and I am not done one board left the worse one.The black River Cam chose is iridescent in nature just does not show up well yet.The pieces once planed will get a fine sanding and polish and then and oil he has selected is applied.The ladd is going with metal legs ATTM and asked about a local welder I mentioned Mr.Balius if he is still working it.

Thanks to much dust though but less than the wall cabinet gets and this was the bottom shelf.I think if memory serves me right Paul no filler that Nice!

Not exactly the desk but close by the Scharnhorst in her case still need to frame out the case probably start that tomorrow if the weather goes south for the reassembly of the 8.8" Ford rear end.

Still dusty some but it's been three years I bet since I have dusted in that case.The rod that prop open all the canopies and the hatch are brass tube with guitar wire through the middle. On another forum for judging for GB these six shots was mandatory for judging.

Well that was quick Mark over at HobbyNuts got back with me by email within the hour ends up I ordered some stuff not in stock so the order was on hold of course the B-25J kit is on BO 2/3weeks.I will proceed with the Kits World set. I think Guy has the right idea once closed 85% is hidden I just do not have any AM 1/48 belts for the pilot seats then maybe if I look a little harder.....?

With a screw driver in his Posterior going ...memory long with this one "White Feather" I like the MTO sandbox.

I emailed them this evening...we'll see It could happen Mike but the way the snail mail is moving these days?I never pay extra for faster delivery and the O..N..E time it's frigg'in late.

I have been eyeballing there B-24 Peter some of the builds are Nice!

Can do later this week maybe Saturday hopefully getting that 8.8" rear end for the truck done?

Let me know!!

Looks big? You better watch out before long you going to be living in one of these Dio's.

I have that one built Very Very Nice Kit

Hell I am only 63 and can't remember that one must of been about 7/8 when that happened.I would say that since Dad served in WWII I am sure it was something from the Mighty Eighth.

I am working this guys I just so hated the KW IP and all decided I am relegating it to an old Monogram/Revell kit I have.I ordered from HobbyNuts about 4 Quinta's Kits last Friday paid for faster delivery but still nothing in the mail yet 3/4 days was the time frame which would be today?Nada!So I am piddling here and there till they arrive.

I know what you mean ...the last P-51 I did Eduard when I got to the paint fought me all the way when finished I gave it to a friend who has a P-51 collection it just did not cut the mustard.You keep soldiering on Mike walk that mile makes the next POS that hits the desk easier to deal with.

Correct,may do well if we do a sandbox GB?

That came out looking good John I just received the Hase MTO F-4 yesterday.

I am in agreement the the background unit has more eye appeal.

That's a colorful one John me likeey!!

Got me Peter I am trying to picture WWL on a small Brit fighter?Mossie yes,I know German for sure ,I know British Seaplanes ,No Italian come to memory.....

Very Nice crate Gus!!

But looking good from here John.

I think I know that one "flakvierling" pretty cool!

I was going to myself now we are getting into the meat the IP /dash and engine looking good Jeff.
