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!

Thanks for the process notes John. I wouldn't really know where to start with the ground work and this is a big help.

Time for another quick update. With some primer applied to the barrel it turned out nice and round. :dude: Thus it was time for some more assembly into bigger parts, etc. With the barrel done and some primer having been applied, I decided to do a quick "fit" together. It is QUITE a bit...

Sounds like you have a few interested parties that like your little jewels. the fact that you have many ships already built can help a lot with the short time left. For the students a little history to go with each craft might be a plus for them to know what they actually receive.

Yeah, many dealers low ball values in order to make more money. In some cases they are being a realistic business person. In others they are basically rip off artists.

Trumpeter is supposed to be doing a 1/35th Ka-52, so that is something to look forward to. I also picked up their Kamov naval helicopter with the double rotors. Damn! that 1/35th Hind looks just as good up close!

Looks like the table part is still in reasonably decent shape. Yeah you could spend some time doing a really nice clean up/ restoration and maybe get $1500+ from it. After that thought I suspect it might be well worth a small chunk to someone out there that would like it and spend some time...

Is this the one that was Large Scale Planes?

I liked your 1/35th scale build. Don't knock building a so-so kit. It gives experience that pays off when working on a very expensive kit. It is possible to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to be perfect for you alone.

What you are doing is the basis for reaching for the outlandish and challenging builds. It takes practice and in some cases a fair amount of planning when attempting something special. Keep going for it! You got this! ============= I have the double Zvezda/Eduard 1/72 double kit and the...
