"That's a 20-footer!" "25. Three tons of 'im."

Go over the ribs with a black sharpie?

On the list of things that a Man with modeler's mindset has NO business doing is finishing sheet rock. I'm trying to fill the gaps and sand them smooth, as if it were Tamiya filler on a Trumpeter kit. This is an exercise in abject FAILURE. Teresa offered her experienced advice, but I was sure...

A fine supper! When Teresa does babyback ribs, she does it right! We then visited out neighbors. They are hydroponic farmers. They service 4 or 5 local restaurants with their organically produced leafy green veggies. I called "The Farm" psychedelic. Cue Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced"...

Guns: The stern 4" gun is from a Skywave 1/700 US Navy Gato-class submarine kit. The Gold Medal Models 1/700 20mm guns are the best I have found in this scale. Since SS Hannover was a German ship, (hem) it is likely she may well have retained her DKM style anchors, of course. Gold Medal...

Holy Guatamole's! That's a whole bunch of Spitfire!

It's a fun story. In 2010 Brandon Lowe (Free Time Hobbies) bought Pacific Front Hobbies from Bill Gruner in Colorado. Bill was a one-man band with amazing inventory and speedy service that catered to model ship builders. Freetime Hobbies was in Blue Ridge, GA in a road-side store front, the...

Kevin is making headway on his Academy 1/600 RMS Titanic kit. Quite Titanical so far, don't you agree? We fired up the Cricut last night. Teresa cuts them and I weed them. The heart decal for little Jerod's racing machine and club decals for Aimee & Joe. It isn't enough to cut the dogsnot...

The kit is engineered to make the lower hull removeable. You can display it on the stand and then separate the lower hull when you want to play air-strike with the waterline model. It makes bottom painting easy!

That looks about right!

Normally, I'm blabby, but I sat on this one. I knew it was metal.

They're like Ragu spaghetti sauce. "It's in there!" :yipee:

Please. I am the King of boring people to death. I make model ships. I'm with Pup. I enjoy watching your biplane technique. I especially enjoy the off-the-beaten-path model kit. Hey, here in the US we don't much sniff glue anymore. Cleaning the airbrush with lacquer thinner. There's...
