If it had not been something that I actively "WANTED" for years I would never have jumped on it.

We are lucky to have any buildings from the early 1700's, but then that is old for our country. There was someone that bought and moved the old London Bridge over here if I remember correctly. Not sure where it is at this point. I guess Google would find it.

This is a very interesting idea John! I have always struggled with how to visualize things in order to do a diorama or even just a way to display the build. Your AI generated photos look really good and I can see how they would help with setting up a scene and detailing the scene out.

Here is a new update. There are a bunch of little things that just kept adding to and adding up. Redoing the rivets on this part of the carriage was a bit of a pain, but the pneumatic brake parts and linkages ended up being a big pain as they were done so half assed that it just had to be...

You are going to have to get some fairly hard brass to make that mechanism out of Greg. At a guess .010 thick. If it is too thin or soft it won't support the weight of the hood, it will just bend. I am sure it can be done, but it will need all metal parts, and some careful measurements from...

Well this build has been sitting on the "Shelf of Doom" for almost 10 years. I have been pondering about when to finish it. Now that someone "FINALLY" has created a 1/32nd kit, (that has been paid for) I think I should get busy and finish on this one. This is a bump to bring it back up to...

One thing to remember when mixing adhesives. Solvent glues work on styrene. They won't hardly touch CA. CA is an acrylic, but you can't get a bond with any solvent glue of plastic to CA. Does NOT work. (Yeah, ran into an issue with this on the howitzer build) I even tried to remove all the...

If you are applying CA glue from the bottle, then that is the big mistake. Only time I use CA straight from the bottle is on a finger cut. Otherwise I put a drop or two on glass or in my usual case a mounted sapphire crystal. Then I use a sharpened and polished wedge shaped steel wire to...

NOPE! Not even fostering. If I want companionship I will get the 4 legged barking or purring kind.

Thanks for the part photos Paddy! Once I got over the WTF my eyes, it was kind of funny. Damn those are small.

LOL! I try to keep my floor clean and uncluttered. NO CARPET! A couple of days ago I dropped a small nut I was going to add to a scratch part on the floor. Hard part is backing the chair up without damaging it. Found it easily. Swept the crafting debris up with a drafting brush into a white...

There are good women out there. My late wife was a bit of a pain, (had a stroke and then cancer) but was an awesome lady. First wife took my life away, second gave it back but then passed away. These days with the feminazi idiots (and at my age) finding a good woman is like finding a perfect...

Yep, no "War Department" here, which is why I was able to both afford and 'just buy' the Do-17 kit from the UK. Wife passed 24 years ago. Dated for a while and gave that crap up 17 years ago. The women were horrible. Does that mean that there aren't any good women out there? No, I just quit...

Actually this one looks kind of cool!

Looking good Greg!
