WOW, he looks like a great cat. I had a black and white one, showed up to live with us and was HUGE, I really miss him. His name was Sylvester of course. (He weighed 25 pounds at one point)

:) OK, good enough for a model. Now I can proceed with the actual kit build. (I made my own double sided sanding sticks by gluing 400 and 600 grit onto popsicle sticks)

Thanks for that!

Thanks! I gave up on finding any styrene bits, but I did find this, maybe it will help someone else. All my ‘plastic silverware’ was #3. Sigh. So I decided to use a piece of sprue from the model as a reinforcement in one place. Here is the carnage. This was bad. The box must have been...

Thanks, I was just curious. I enjoy flipping through the pics, but the space would be nice too.

Thanks, I hope it still exists. I can do a lot of detailing on it, like insetting windows and doors.

Is there a way to turn off the gallery display? It takes quite a bit of space on my little screen.

Last night I was looking through pictures and realized that I made a filling station diorama building years ago. It was for my 1:24 train projects. Hudson’s great great great grandfather had a filling station in Ohio in the 30s. This is a picture of it, with a zoom in on the main part of the...

Thanks! It will be a diorama based kit too. I have some old garage diorama pages I’m studying. hmmm… I think plastic spoons/forks/knives are made of styrene. I bet I can cut the bracing I need for the fender from one of those. Tomorrow…

In keeping with my Attention Deficit Disorder, :biggrin: I decided to build a model car kit. My grandson will be 4 this spring. Right after he was born, I bought this model. His first name is Hudson and I’ve always liked the Hudson Hornet, so let’s get this thing going. Here is Hudson doing a...

We tested the anti-gravity modules today. A bit touchy, but working.

Too many projects, but they are all fun so it doesn’t matter what order they come in. The Army Men needed a ground vehicle, so they are getting a WWII German halftrack. A halftrack is sort of useless without a driver. The Tamiya kit doesn’t come with a driver. Several good figures and guns, but...

Some very useful looking supplies arrived today. I got paint, another hand held hot wire cutter (this one has two probes for cutting and making holes). I tested it and used the short probe to weld a broken bit of a plastic model too. The most interesting bit is the ‘garden wire’ I got two sizes...

Furnishings for the bathroom came today… finally. Tomorrow I may work on the house a bit. The scale on these is great. The guy on the pot has short legs… LOL. He fits in the tub too.

:eek:

Very nice!

Better keep that beast locked up. Great job!

I’ve always been fond of the CH-47 chopper. When I was in the Army, I was lucky enough to be able to attend a fire power display at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, while I was in AIT. One of the highlights of the show was when a Chinook came in with a cannon and ammo hanging under it. I think the gun was a...

What happens with the Blue Light Special comes on? Or the Blue Lite Beer is served? We have FUN! The radar antenna came about from an experiment with plastic spoons, drywall tape and PVA. The drywall tape was pressed into a spoon, covered with PVA and a second spoon clamped on top. When dry...

That is a 500 KW generator. It is powered by the same stuff that powered Marvin the Martian’s Space Modulator. It is the secret ingredient in Illidium PU-38. The 4 tanks on the back of the generator are enough to power the machine at full output for 100 years. The door only needs to be opened...
