Yeah, it only showed up after I had attached the booms to the main wing. They were both angled the same direction and about the same amount. The problem with heating plastic at times to straighten it is that sometimes the amount of heat needed will also cause slight shrinkage. It was a bear...

On the p-38 that I worked on a few years ago (the then new not yet released P-38F from Tamiya) Both booms had about a 10° twist to the right. It was a bear to fix that and both booms have a tiny bit of off to them. The elevator wouldn't twist them straight, it only became a flat sine wave so I...

That is like me and ancient VW's and Kubelwagens.

Yeah Google search sucks. They recently lost a big antitrust court battle about their practices where they misdirect searches and set the initial results to their own Utube pages and such so they can get all the $$ from ads and such. I use DuckDuckGo anymore. The owners son where I work chewed...

Looks like you don't need much practice on this Paddy. That wheel assembly looks mighty fine!

So, you designed and printed it?

I am fixing up my 2007 Corolla with 170+k miles (273.6k kilometers). After replacing the motor mounts and front brakes, it seems to be running a lot smoother and quieter (probably the motor mounts) Am hearing a little grind now when I brake and that must be the rear drums (170k mi) I did some...

This year I have had to finally decide to NOT buy any more kits. I am sure that "something" will come along, but it has reached the point where I have to say "I don't need it". Does it mean that I won't ever buy another kit? No, but it means that instead of buying 10 or 15 through the year, I...

Yeah, Paddy, it is a mess over here with all the lies, mudslinging, and stupidity. So many folks just drink the Gov Kool-Aid and do what they are told without ever thinking about anything. I see it on the roads every day with cars wandering around due to stupid people and their cell phone...

So now the fun stuff starts.

Paddy, I have several "tough" projects that over the years I have worked on and then set aside when I got tired of the fight. You know of one, the Ju87A that I have been beating into shape. You can assemble a kit out of the box and let it go as I do with the MMM builds (Micro Modeler Month)...

Nah! That was the 70's, they didn't need no stinkin' push plate.

Looking good so far Greg!

Looks like there are more bits than tank. So far so good!

Looks like it is turning out quite well. Next one you should try and figure out a way to lengthen the bed. Do some magic! :devil: You can do it, You can do it,

I wondered. While I run the ad blockers and such, I didn't mind them too much except for the fact that they were all over the place for me as I look at all kinds of things. I have thought about doing a contribute, but am running tight for the next few months due to making a poor decision. (NOT...

Paddy, that is why I use this very old Dremel speed control. It runs the Dremel way down to TOO slow. They can be found on Ebay for US 120V versions. Not sure if there was ever a version for the higher voltage used in Europe. Yes I have an old Variable speed Dremel plugged into the device...

Blood pressure is pretty much 120ish over 70ish these days. Biggest problem I ran into a while back was waking up and had high heart rate that wouldn't drop (85-95 BPM). My heart rate is usually under 80 unless I am doing something to exert myself. Yeah, went to doc over it and eventually...

So far, so good!:good:

Pretty cool little shed Cole! These big projects are a good thing and are worth the experience we get from them. The small hobby projects teach us other skills and are also worth the effort for what we get from the builds.
