Several years ago I started a Do17Z kit (which is on the "I'll get back to it one day" shelf) The other half of the kit was a Boulton Paul Defiant MkI. It has been floating around my stash in it's plastic bag for a little while and while I have several 1/72 kits from a Redstone rocket to a...

@moon puppy Today is Feb 29th (yeah we had an extra day before starting) We need the forum opened up so folks can start doing their posts.

22 years ago today something terrible happened in New York City. As I drove down from Syracuse through Scranton and then across New Jersey I came over a hill and saw this NYC skyline.

I am going up for some training and will be in Secaucus NJ this coming week. If there is someone in the area that would like to meet up for dinner etc. PM me. On another note, yesterday I FINALLY emptied my storage out. My old '77 beetle is now in it's new home in my garage where it will...

While it is mainly figures and Sci-Fi, the workmanship on the figures and many of the Sci-Fi builds would rival that of the Nationals. I am also picking up the last two Halloween Nightmare figures that fit together to form a giant diorama. At this point one of the figures is now no longer...

A person that had collected a lot of Lewis Pruneau's and Shep Paine's work also had Bob's "Winds of War". Many items were sold as well as works by other lesser known people. Here are some photos that were posted on the web site. The site is still such...

We had some interesting builds this year and it looked like a number of folks succeeded in their builds. Here was mine: If you would like to see the build details here is the LInk to the Build.

Thanks to PaulW, I was able to meet Scotty Wilson a few years before the fateful day. He was in a hanger at Harvey Young airport in Tulsa. I was given permission to give everything a good close look and took quite a few photos. At the time he was working on one of the fuel tanks. The plane...

Wow this snuck up on us this year. I have my choice for this year. It is a small civil aircraft and will be a bit of a tribute build.

I have a small box of rather interesting vac kits. One is of the HL-10 lifting body and is about 60-70% done. Hard part was coming up with landing gear and trying to find cockpit photos for it. (Another 80's build that stalled from lack of info) I also have the other lifting body X-planes in...

Or whichever seasonal variant you wish to subscribe to.

I have had a pile of various rod, tubing, aluminum and acrylic in some old boxes that has been needing to have an item built to hold it. It needed to be tall enough to hold some stuff that is 4 or 5 ft long and yet needed to be able to hold some short pieces as well. The old boxes I had this...

I subscribe to Epoch Times and have pretty much dumped all the mainstream media. If you know why then good on you, if not then check them out. Anyway, one of the news items today was a video interview with a woman fighter pilot who was active on that day. Here is a synopsis of what it is...

I just noticed that Queen Elizabeth has passed away. I want to wish you and your countries well through this trying time.

Back in March while driving through Missouri to Bob Letterman's funeral, a deer decided to play chicken and lost. Startled the crap out of me and caused a bit of damage. Lucky for me it was not catastrophic. Main thing I lost was the AC, but at that time of year the temps were pleasant so not...

Twenty years ago today (July 1 2002) I lost my wife to cancer. At this point I don't know where I would be or what I would be doing if not for her. Today I am doing what I always wanted to do for a living, and am able to do my hobbies and am quite content. I still think about her often and am...

Hey all, I am not going to do a sprue by sprue review of this kit as there have been a number already done out there in the modeling community. What I am going to do is bring up a big problem with the boxing/ packaging on this kit. One of the other members contacted me about the kit that he...

I just got an e-mail message that a long overdue kit is finally in the shipping process to my door. And, no I am not posting any hints nor pre-pics at this time. I can say I have been waiting on this kit for a very long time ever since I first heard it was in development.

This is my build for this year. I had such a good build with the Tamiya P-47 last year that I chose this one a couple of weeks ago while in the Hobby Shop. This was a previously owned kit and actually has "almost" two full kits in it. Alas one of the windscreens is missing So that would have...

Went and visited my daughter over New Years and had a good time and the party with her and her boyfriends friends went well in spite of the power going out for a couple of hours. (came back on at about 11:15) Left Tulsa Saturday and got in Saturday evening. Called and talked with my Mom for a...
