I have done a bit on this over the last week or so, thus it is time for a small update. I guess this weekend I will be building an extension for the lathe bed so that I can add a turning center to the other end of the barrel. As I will be just turning this all by hand, it doesn't...

LOL! I also keep my head down and avoid females completely. A double "War Dept" would be a bad thing if it got fired up. My dad was my mom's mom's favorite son in law. She basically got my parents together. One time when I was just a few months old, my dad and grandma decided to go fishing...

I have an old Revell P47 kit that is unbuildable due to a major short shot to a fuselage tail, but that is someone with bb for a brain not doing their job. Umm, Bob, I looked at the photos for those grab handles. The WWII photos don't seem to have the handles. They are on the restoration...

Thanks! That will help a lot once I get all the sub assemblies built up. The weathering and wear on that one that the G.I. is messing with is pretty severe. In enlarging the photo, it also looks like the units were originally grey and overpainted with desert sand and some green.

Thanks for the photo and clarification of which gun this is. I thought there was something "not quite right" with it. The photo I posted was one that came up when I did an internet search. I did find a walkaround for an s. FH 18 that is being quite helpful with details. That gun is a display...

What Saúl said...

The "Hammer of DOOM!"

@Sharkmouth Thanks for posting all this Saúl! The video of the daughter talking about her dad, and the plane restoration was especially interesting. The granddaughter was mentioned as repainting the nose art on the side, which also makes this restoration kind of special.

Really looking good Tim! You should try and join in on the Saturday morning talk. I think you would enjoy it.

That bright yellow is looking really good Paddy!

WOW! That is a lot of detailed work! What program have you been developing that in?

Welcome Stephen! We always enjoy hearing from builders from all over. It has been a while since SADave has been here and we look forward to seeing your builds and interests.

Bob (moon puppy) experienced this a couple of times during the call.
