Cool James! Looking forward to watching!

Too far for me, and my 50th class reunion is that weekend.

Sounds like you have a great local shop. Here in Memphis we have a wonderful hobby shop that caters to RC (mostly cars) slot cars, trains, and recently the bookshelf NOOK kits. It is on a main drag and while the shop has been around for over 20 years, only in the last 4 or 5 years since it...

Been MANY years since I ran a D & D game. I still have all the books etc. Could probably put together another adventure in fairly short order. I ran and will only run 2nd Ed. Have too much stuff set up to run it including the rare Monster Manual with the "removed" sections that caused a big...

I took a class in welding in college. Did OK with it. Still remember a fair bit on it. Had a bit better knack for it than some of the others. Wouldn't want to do it full time. Been thinking about picking up one of the better welders from Harbor Freight just to have around. Had a dinky stick...

How many of those do you have to do?

Welcome back! It is really easy to post photos to MA now Chris. First get the resolution down to about 1280x 960 or less. This keeps the file size down as we have a file size restriction. There are several editor out there that can crop photos or resize them and once you use them it is quite...

The same size jackets are in the US Air Force museum here at Wright Patterson. They are like modern day kids jackets except they aren't. Just a side note, anyone ever go to Graceland here in Memphis? (Elvis Presley's home) They have a bunch of his stuff including outfits from the various...

For some reason seeing those painted figures dancing made me think of the "Silent Hill" horror movies.

Several years ago I was invited to go see "Wicked" at the ancient (restored) theater in downtown Memphis. Had great seats 2nd or 3rd row back on the lower balcony. Could see EVERYTHING! Only bad thing was I was crammed into the seat where the spacing was for someone about 5'-6" or less. (Bob...

Ditto, and maybe Paddy and some of the Euro folks can join.

Hey it's your lathe, do what you want with it. I just did some prep work on the 75mm Pak 40 shells to get them a bit smoother with my lathe. Have not decided how I am going to lock the shells to spin them and turn them as I am going to do it between centers. (I will let you figure out what I...

Looking really good John. Glad you hit the finish line on this.

Sometimes the fix and redo turn out better than it would have otherwise. Looking good John!

Looking really good. The dualies on the front are over the top. That beast would be hard to steer.

Turned out quite nice Bob!

Someplace (I have, I think) a photo of a Sopwith camel or Eindecker that is from the period that showed the discoloration and dirt accumulation from the castor oil. It was all over the front, but mostly the underside and going out partway on the underside of the wing. It also went most of the...

At most you would see one bullet coming out of a gun. Remember that they are each moving very fast and there will be a lot more space between bullets than you have room in your dio.

You did an awesome job making a silk purse out of the Trumpeter piece of pig poo. I have several Trumpy kits and the two that are in process have needed so much work to get them corrected that they are close to scratch builds so I understand what all you had to do. Really excellent work. Keep...
