The picture of the crashed Cobra. I was there removing the rockets from the pods. The ship was 040 and it is today at a WFW in Sateside NC. At least I think that's the name of the town. It crashed after during a test rocket run both pods, one on each side had a hung rocket that burned out the...

As they say "trust your insticts". Back at the ranch. The tracks are on and this is how I get them to sag a little. The track is crazy glued to the upper rollers. When dry the wood will be removed. Gary S.

Sorry to hear what you had to go through Paul. Sounds like they were melting the fat from the inside. At least the should have supplied some honey glaze too. A friend of mine is going through rad therapy for colorectal CA and is very sore from it. He uses Aquaphor on the burn areas. The Rad...

RAL 8000 is supposed to be the official color, but with the sun bleaching and the sand storm environment, there's a lot of variations in the color plus the availability of paint. I've included some pics from some of my reference books that show a great difference in color interpretations. I...

Congrats for sure!! Gary S.

Mixed up some acrylic craft paint last night and applied the first thin coat this morning. I'm not sure about the color. A little too peachy. The color that I'm going for is more like on the cover on this book and the tank in the Munster museum. I'm thinking about adding a drop of green to...
