My Father was a Machinist and dabbled in Tool & Die Making after he got out of the Navy in 1962. He liked it well enough but eventually decide to become a Shop Teacher instead. I know he missed doing intricate machine work.

Platypuses. It's always the Platypuses' fault.

The all purpose, 21st Century excuse for all sorts of failures and mayhem......

They live better if they don't escape, and get stuck in sticky Rat Traps...... My kids still remember me dancing around the kitchen 25 years ago, with a Flour Covered Hamster, hanging from my thumb by his teeth (they are really sharp) trying to get him free of the trap. I did finally succeed, and he lost a finger and his tail, but lived another 18 months. Ah memories1 😁

Found out, I get to be a Grandpa for the 5th time. Baby due in June. No other info yet. I'll know more details next month.

This is jut Fantastic! Shep Paine's ideas live on in your build. I really like blend on mundane setting, and the 'Technical' taking a break from the fighting. Very well done.

That's me, right now. And, we still have not had the Pie!

I cannot eat Red Sauce anymore. Especially the spicier, authentic versions. Heartburn so bad nothing helps, but drinking a half gallon of milk. I've given up on almost all Italian food. Your Red Sauce looks great , Steve. Wish my burnt out digestive system could handle it. Dinner Tonite? Cheese and Crackers, and Vienna Sausage. Washed down with Eggnog.

Got all the Pre-Thanksgiving shopping done yesterday in 5.5 Hours. Costco, Winco, the Butcher (for 2 Spatchcocked Turkeys), Sam's Club and Albertson's market. Five Stops in under six hours, and since we got everything, no runs to the store on Wednesday. Means everybody is happier today.

Those look really close, Carl. With some file work one the windows to round them out a tiny bit, they might be close enough. Thanks!

It is the "Heritage" model. I really like the looks. For Giggles, I spec'd one out on the Galpin Ford website. Mine came in at $39,785. Not really bad for a new Bronco.

I just saw a baby blue over white 2022/23 Ford Bronco yesterday. It was the best looking Bronco I have seen so far. It had a legitimate "Vintage Vibe" to it that made it look really sharp to me. It had white wheels, and they are from the Sport Package. Does any resin caster/ 3D printer make these wheels? I'd like to try to build it in scale. Not sure which kit I'd need to use, but the 2021 is at H.L. right now. And for me, "Close Enough", would be "Good Enough", in this case. Thanks for the help.

Been Raining here since 4am. Gutters beginning to overflow. But, we need the rain. Just not happy about spending all day shopping for Thursday in the rain. My Temp job working for the Kern County Elections Division, counting ballets ended yesterday. I worked from Sept 16 to Nov 25. Pretty good run. Now back to the job hunt.

Yes, A thread just for Rocketry would be cool. I've been wanting to try it for years.

I have a set of Warlock Rims and Tires, you may have if you want them. Alan

Great Job, Ron. When I was a Terminal Manager for a trucking company, we had half a dozen of those in the yard. All of them White, 2 of them daycabs. Your build really showcases what "normal" rigs look like. Good Show.

Just Wow!, as we say here in the Colonies!

Yes, they are the same tooling.

Wonderful tribute to Mr. Felson. I read some of his books from the Library in Junior High. All were good. I never read this one. I'll need to fix that. Thanks for bringing back some great memories. Felson and W.E. Butterworth started my interest in Rodding.

Fine Build, on a kit you seldom see built any more. Sad, because I think these were the best Jo-Han kit ever tooled. Good Show.

I really like the colour choice, and the paint looks flawless! I'm not sure about the wheels, they look wrong for the car, but a great build noneless. Good Show.

Absolutely Awesome Build! The figure is a great touch. The detailing is crisp and realistic. Good Show.

Excellent Build on Both kits! Neither is an easy build, and you make it look easy! Good Show.

I love the weathering, and the Build! Awesome Depot Hack conversion. Good Show.
