I've been "Rhino" since 2nd grade. An obvious contraction of Rhiner. Many moons ago, while enjoying the photos of scantily clad young beauties, I griped about not liking sand with naked boobs. Yup. "Sandman". No connection to Logan's Run. I never did care for it.

The gun tubs have been re-fitted to HMS Audacity. One shouldn't think Rhino would bore one (hem) with the details of building the 'tubs, such as it is. He is considering molding the flight deck as it were.

Consider this as well. Every time you add an accessory to a model kit, you create the opportunity for a flaw. 2 of the best ship modelers I know paint everything else first, then add the painted p/e, and carefully glue it on with teensie drops of c/a. The deepest, darkest, ship model secret...

You rang, Pup? That is a beautiful shot of Sara with bone in her teeth. 1945 fit one should think. I think this is the calm waters of San Francisco bay or Puget Sound, early in the day.

Time was, (says the old, experienced guy with a little better personal hygiene) The Champion spark plug company serviced AMC, Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth products and did so proficiently. Champion had an ad campaign with a photo of James Dean putting their plugs in a Porsche 356 Speedster (the...

NAPA: Nothing Any Professional Accepts :lol:

Your old Ford won't like Champion plugs. I believe your appendage is a the old style bale boom.

I like the mechanical look of these motorcycle models.

I like the Tom's Modelworks 1/700 20mm guns the best. The p/e pedestals are a little too tall, but otherwise the look the part on my 1/700 PT Boats and YMS-1. These look like genuine nut-busters! Yike!

We stopped by my buddy Tim's house and he noticed The Troublemaker has a bigger box that his 4-door Dodge. "Yes. This is a Pick-up. You have an overgrown car." :lol:

We went today to pick up my old Dad's Chevrolet 2011 Colorado 5.3l V-8 pick-up from his wife. He took his trip up to Heaven 5 years ago. Aired up the tires and went to see my BB Seester to have the bill of sale notarized. I only stood on the 5.3 once, thus far. We transferred the title into...

Teresa bought me a new magnetic money clip for my habby burseday! She did not know how many hours I had spent, as a much younger child, flying about in a Piper Cherokee. A very strange bird visited her Oriole feeder this morning. Who knew they liked oranges? Another 'Furry Free-loader"...

Every magnifier on hand is utilized to fit the applique the wood to HMS Audacity's flight deck. Fine scalpel blades and p/e scissors. Tis quite tedious. I think this about as good as it will get. The seam up forward is where the wind deflector will go. Better gun tubs, coming up.

There seems to be very little boat traffic. Why is that?

HMS Audacity's replacement 20mm gun tubs begin with Model Monkey's excellent 3D prints. These are so fine they must be gently cut with a fine saw blade. Applique wood deck is on the way from a US supplier. Plenty of work left to do! Many thanks for having a look.

Turn your chair around backwards?

Edging the canopy in black alleviates the reflection from the flat attachment surfaces. OOPS! Too late. Sorry.

Several of my builds have languished until I practiced a new technique or found other materials. I usually have 6 or more projects underway. They aren't ALL tiny! Or like the 1/350 USCG 110' WPB master, they just don't gel. Model Mojo ebbs and flows. One might think a steering wheel might...

Everything is SO BIG!! And you, Tim, with your super-clean workspace. My Bwain Hurts!

For those of us on this side of the Pond, that is $730.45 in today's US dollars. Just gave up, huh? He must have had a very small schwanstucker, indeed.
