I must have missed it.

The less than perfect surface of the foamboard adds depth to the narco boat pursuit base, don'tcha thjink? Shelf life of the MiG water goo is impressive. I bought this from Greg Tost, way back when Iron Mike and I were still friends. 2018, it says on the lid. The 1/350 J/45 sloop is...

Incoming! Panzerkampwagen funny!

It might have been better to start with a thicker hunk of base material and use the hot foam cutting knife I don't have. Hiding a Doffin, shark or whale in this one could be a challenge.

It's the old 1/48 Hawk kit with a scratch-built cockpit. Jimmy Doolittle was not included.

Aren'tcha gonna take you banks to the edges of the wee base?

I know it.

No calm, serene base for the Venezuelan narco boat! After it was skinned, this chunk of foamboard was shaped by heating the back of a spoon over a candle. It may be advisable to use a spoon heated by boiling water and go slower. The melted black slivers have to be removed. They smell real...

The Revell Ag and Eduard 1/72 B-25J are the Hasegawa toolings. An excellent kit.

A few of John's friends are similarly afflicted with large model collections. A couple operate websites for the sale of such things. Please, feel free to ask for any help we can provide. There's no such thing as a dumb question. How about just a bit of model input? It is common for...

I was just surfing around John's website. https://goldeneramodel.com/index.html At the end of the day, I'm just another sentimental, old, marshmallow it seems.

I regain my medical driving privileges this March. This I look most forward to!! Finishing the Masters for USS Potomac and the Bluenose/Cleopatra schooner have priority. Migration of tlarmodels.com to a different server is in the works. The TLAR Models #1125 1/350 Boat set has run amok with...

That full-time employment thing do cut into a Man's modeling time! You make a fine man-scale model, Alvin!

Hey, Mrs. Marshall, Your ol' Dad was one of the pillars of our merry band of model miscreants. The last Google Meet he attended, he confessed a bit about his affliction, and was his usual cheerful self afterwards. I appreciated his sense of fun, and he and I had many exchanges about his new...

I left out CSS Alabama and CSS Florida! 1/700 Confederate raiders of Civil War notoriety.

The 1/350 Birch bark canoes didn't turn out to badly. The Boston Whaler came out swell! 17 1/350 scale boats fill this kit out. Lots more to come.

Tres' Magnifique!

Unless captain Quint and his Orca were waiting for them!

My USCG resource tells me the Venezuelan narco boats are mostly monochromatic (jus' 1 color) and are not adorned with sharkmouths. References are scanty, as these vessels are often filmed in the middle of a wide shrapnel pattern, big secondary explosions and a burning oil slick on the surface...

My BB Seester gave me a Meng Christmas present. This track will belong to the Hawaii-based US Army 25th Division "Tropical Lightning" Cavalry scouts. Only one 1/35 scale M-114 is in the box. My old friend Robby-San commented "The M-114 does definitely float. It does not float indefinitely."...
