It's coming together Paddy! I have been able to see the patterning on the aluminum in the last several photos. Looking really good!

Depending on which model, I might have a compatible instruction manual (with some old experience)

That's cool James! I thought you were starting your build of this big beastie.

Making good progress boss! My guess is you are on the downhill now, keep up the good work!

I get it Ian, back in 82 I was working at a small electronics company. We made satellite receivers and the owner was a really great guy. As they knew I was a model builder his step daughter wanted to get him a small model of a satellite dish for Christmas. I offered to build her one as no one...

I think the best you can do with what is supposed to be sheet aluminum is to do a Chrome like finish them dull it down with various Alclad aluminum colors. Leaving the shiny or almost shiny finish in some areas and dulling down in other areas.

I received a facebook message from Susan this afternoon and she has decided to auction off all the dioramas that Bob had built and collected over the years. There are the dios that Bob had built as well as several by Louis Pruneau that were in his collection. There are also other collectibles...

Warren I currently have 3 of the old Pocher kits in my stash. The black Rolls Royce Town car(?) The red Alfa Romeo Monza race car, and the Mercedes 500K-AK Cabriolet. All are old kits from the 80's and are a huge challenge to build. There is a small company now that makes aftermarket parts...

I have been waiting on someone to do a 1/32 Do17Z. Not sure why no one has as it was one of the main early war aircraft. I know it isn't a problem with the size, though maybe since there is only one in existence and it was dragged off the ocean floor, it might be for lack of reliable info...

@fledermaus Is it 1/6th, or 1/16th? I know Andy has kits in 1/16th, but was not aware of any in 1/6th which would be huge.

Awesome Abdin!

Das ist a LOT of rubber!

@Brokeneagle I think Ian will have all the information on this Uboat could want.

I actually ran across one of my grail kits a few years ago. A friend with a hobby shop found an old wholesaler and bought a bunch of old out of production kits from the place. I ended up with a fair amount of Aurora figure kits, and this one. This particular kit has a history with me. My dad...

That is looking really good Paddy!

In 2019 when I was in DC, I visited the Udvar-Hazy museum and the JRS-1 was there in her as-is condition.

You are getting pretty good with that 3D program Greg. Looking good.
