Good for you! Florida wasn't your thing then?

The 1/700 FRC and SATCOM antenna molds looked promising and cleared the way I hoped they would. 1800 hrs. today, the first castings will prove the molds. It doesn't always go smoothly, as you men know. We celebrated the seventh anniversary of our first pillow-fight on Monday. The Cracker...

Atta Kid! (Winkle) Very nicely done indeed, in my view, as it were, of course.

Color me a naive Tourist. I did not care much for Sao Paulo. All the natives is foreigners! That happens a lot when I visit other nations. :lol:

Sayonara Tamiya san. :notworthy Rest well knowing generations of children of varying vintages were influenced by your quality, attention to detail and value of Tamiya Mokei products. Many of us still are. I understand Shunsaku was quite keen about his R/C car designs and spent many hours...

Yes, the Lagoon 46 catamaran is included in the kit. It has it's own mold. Didja move again, Chris? Where to?

The 1/700 scale FRC Masters are ready for RTV. Find the popular 110' freezer trawler kit filling the empty space in the mold. The big trawler was due for a few improvements and a new mold. One more casting of the 1/700 Lagoon 46 catamaran mold will yield the 4th SATCOM /dome antenna set to...

We had really nice, cool summer weather for a couple of days. It was really good to see Jon Bond again. Mike Carter (new guy) joined us for most of the meeting. It was a fun meeting.

P/E progresses. I'll get her!

Got It!! The Catamaran model instructions will go this far. The sunshade for the helm was the pain I imagined it would be. My own 1/700 Lagoon 46 model will wear another solar panel on top of the sunshade. You get the opportunity to make your very own spinnaker. Paint jobs may vary. There...

They sell that elastic Uschi rigging line in 6-foot sections for 3 times what the 45-foot bobbin used to sell for. "Twatspangles" could be appropriate if I were Katie Hopkins.

Brazil?! Yike!

Oh...... Airfix go all Hasegawa. New part. Saam-o prastic. Noo Decal. Velly Nice.

Kevin didn't go. I hear he plans to depart 28 July. We are all sure he is being scammed by a Mikaela Shiffrin imposter. I sent the "Hey, I need a favor" text as the opener for a joke about never modifying/remaking another 3D print to make a TLAR model kit to some of my friends. Kevin hasn't...

This sort of base for your U-Boat would be thought provoking. This is the coolest ocean effect I ever saw!

Do you have Microsoft File Explorer? Open the image like you were going to edit it. Right click the image and select "Resize Image". Mine is present to "pixels". Reduce the width to 1200 or so. The height will adjust itself. click "Save". Be sure it is going to the folder you wish for...

Properly pristine as presented!

Practice, practice, practice............... Pink marker, flesh marker, brown marker, Tamiya flat flesh, Sandgelb, Tamiya clear red, diluted Tamiya clear red (HEY!) wood tan. Diluted Tamiya clear red seemed the breast shade for this project. Finally!

1/350 Island class WPB bridge windows are coming along. The inclined frames are just a nutbuster to get right. The adhesive for these individual p/e winders is X-22 as well. Time consuming this is. Relentless I must be, yes. Thanks guys!
