Glad you found the radio! Just found it funny about the lube cap.

As I do a fair bit with aluminum and major chop ups, I have learned to cut things a little long if it is critical. That way it is easy to shorten to the "right" dimension. When I needed to make two cuts to the shield on the Pak40 build, I scored lines where the cuts needed to be exactly. Then...

You always seem to do very well with the ship builds Mark.

Das ist ein riesiger Tank! or That is a huge tank!

I remember going with my dad to the Tulsa Glue Dobbers flying field back in the 60's and watching the radio control and control line planes being flown. There were a few of us that got together in high school and flew control line planes in a grass lawn that was surrounded by 3 of the high...

Thanks for the photos Mike! Yeah, I would love to see John's builds in person. Always great to see the things we see in photos here, in person there. Anyone planning on going to Fort Wayne Nationals?

If you glue the cover to the base such that it doesn't easily come off, they should be fine for anyone except kindergarteners and younger. Not sure how sturdy your masts and such are, but unless they are thrown at a wall or floor would they hold up to normal handling?

Anything I mount to a wall is done into studs. I bought a stud finder years ago and use it all the time. The wire shelves in my walk in closet were done weird and one morning I came in and the partial shelf and pulled out of the dry wall. The dip wad just mounted a shelf for clothes and stuff...

Yeah I have a ton of OLD dry transfers (lettraset and such) from the 80's. They all don't work anymore. I don't know if having a slightly sticky paint coat or a fine amount of some thinner applied to the paint to make it slightly sticky then placing the dry transfer over it and lightly rubbing...

Hmm, I see a PT boat.

Very interesting Paddy. Thanks for the little history lesson.

My Makura CNC is coming with a laser engraving head. It should be here maybe late this month or early next month as they have started shipping. I bought in on the first day of the kickstarter and was still 2741 in line. I later upgraded to a better version for a small additional. Not really...

You never know for sure what a person will treasure. You can only try.

The only thing I see that is questionable is the fire extinguisher coloring on the engine deck. This would probably be in better shape than items around it as it is an important item. They also came in grey and (I'm guessing) a grey green similar to RLM02. I have more photos of these...

Looking good Tim!
