Great news! Carry on.

Tony, I agree. Nonetheless, I'm working on my diorama for the "Charley Don't Surf" campaign that I never completed. At least, there's an Academy M113A1 in it. After that, I'll resume work on the Dragon Initial Tiger I in winter camo. As usual, I have a few projects in various degrees of...

Moon Puppy Here's another shot of the .50 cal. honey just for you. I would have done a walk around, but I didn't want to get tossed out for stalking. :evil: But, believe me, she was fine from all angles. :thumbsup

Knowing how much modelers love to research their subjects, I went through two sets of camera batteries while taking 250 pics of a little bit of everything at WWI Days. For me, it was like being at Disneyland. I hope you find the posts helpful. The two-day event, in it's 19th year, featured 1,300...

I overheard a discussion about the grease gun issued to U.S tankers. If you have an original, it's worth about $35,000.00. I wish dad had brought that sucker home!

Update: WWII Days in Rockford, Illinois What an awesome event this has evolved into. It was the 19th annual World War II Days at Rockford's Midway Village this weekend. I remember the first one, featuring about 50 re-enactors, 10 vehicles, and 150 spectators. Today, it featured 1,300...

Looks great. Hope he doesn't have a screwdriver in his back pocket to tear it up.

Awesome. Another re-enlistment. Let's get this party started!

Ah, yes. The unwritten rules of modeling. After market means different things to different people. Cheers!

Does anybody happen to know where I might find a 1/35-scale cargo net? I'm looking for one that would have been commonly used to drop supplies from helicopters during Vietnam. The ones I've seen in photos appear to be made of heavy rope and feature a pattern of squares. I could probably make one...

Here's my new modeling/man cave. And, as you can see, I spared no expense. Yep, that's a cardboard egg case being used as a work bench. I prefer to model in comfort. :good Unfortunately, I recently had to place my dad in an assisted living facility. My mom was already in a nursing home. Both...
