I had a video card blow up in '24. Didn't trust the Motherboard to have survived, so I replaced the motherboard, processor, processor cooler, and video card. I found a motherboard that would still work with the 32 gig DDR4 memory I had, so I was able to do a pretty decent upgrade.

Holy crap Batman! NICE! My first response was ...

Yeah I get feeds from some Farcebook sites, and there are a fair amount of decent folks on there, but it is almost impossible to come into any build and follow it. Occasionally some folks come up with how to questions and I try to answer them. Sometimes I give links to here for something. Been...

I have one of the OLD Dremels which with the right chucks run true. I have several sets of chucks and several years ago I bought a set that go on and tighten by hand. That set mostly runs true and while the Dremel is a fair bit bigger and heavier, it doesn't tend to stall as easy as the...

Hmmm, I think I want some Pizza Hut.

I have glass over some of those rubber shelf mats available at Home Depot and Lowe's on my workbench and paint booth areas. I draw and mark notes on them with sharpies and such. If I am hand painting a small item and need a drop of paint to use or mix for a minute, I just put it directly on...

It's a purdy for now. Give him a little while and he will have a postage stamp work area.

Happy 63 to you Mr Rhiner! May there be many more where you get to tweak everyone and have a good time!

@Duke Maddog as Bob said that An-225 will be huge. The An-224 you build was big enough. Do you have a B=36 or Gigant built yet?

Yeah, Meng kind of half assed that model. It should have had the tank side skirts in the kit as that is how that Kubelwagen was supposed to be.

Different folks, different experience, different skills. It is whatever you are used to. That is one fine engine build Paddy!

I bought a 5000K light at Harbor Freight to light up my work area a couple of years ago and love the amount of light it puts out. It is mounted under that giant shelf I made to go over my work area and I had to put some paper across the front to shade my eyes when elsewhere in the room.

That is why I use the ancient separate speed control with my old Dremel. I can run it from VERY slow to full tilt boogie, though I usually run it slow. I have never had good results with battery operated drills etc. Either the battery is drained, or the battery died because it was on the...

OH that's PURDY!!!!

Cool Tim!

Fine looking vessels Chris! I am sure the recipients will appreciate and enjoy them.

Some kits are garbage or have garbage parts. I had a 1/72 Dragon Do335 night fighter I built for the Micro Modeler Month several years ago. For the most part it fit together... except for.... The Canopy! It was in 3 parts as it had blisters on the sides. Carefully glued it together so there...

It is running into the low 70s (F) here during the day and about 50F overnight. Mowed the yard for the second time last night (most of the neighbors have done it 3 or 4 times already)

Congrat's to your daughter on all her hard work and the reward for a job well done. Congrat's to you for getting your build published John!

Sounds like Alclad to me.
