That dealership burnt

Help from SpillChick can ruin a conversation.

I'm pleased to say I got on my bench last week, but not for car models. Restored 5 rockets that I built last century (1976 seems like history LOL), the rubber shock cords are sewing elastic. Found drawings of designs, glad to say there are X-15 and Sidewinder models now so I don't have to scratch build them. One design is a LSR car, so that will be moved to the front burner. The V-2, dad took me to Penrose, CO, to the Estes factory in 1976, paint based on a magazine article, someday I should go to White Sands and send it! Made a stand from a scavenged light mount, can put at several places in the house. I designed these. Last 2 days have been very calm, hope tomorrow is.

Long live Seals!

Very nice! I owned a 1987 Si, bought the kit back then before they became collector items. I built it, but customized with an Acura turboed engine, before I joined this forum.

I was going to show the Rat I trapped, but you beat me to it.

I went to a local vacuum shop (still family owned, fixes anything) and walked out with this vintage saw. The owner said the 93 year old man would be thrilled to get $50 for it. I already have an old wormdrive Skil saw, don't need it, but it's hardly been abused. Something about old tools, polished aluminum, obsolete design guard, and I sure wouldn't want to schlep this gym around all day! Weird thing to be pleased about. ?

*edit* Dinner was before sunset so I could get a front row seat, when later the killer sunrise showed an awesome display. [since it's top of the page, prior post was 'dinner']

textured paint, dyed

I have the 1/16 scale Fujimi kit, hope it's better. I see why you say that, but sitting on the shelf or diorama display with other cars you won't notice. Nice color, different than the usual red. And you finished it, that's the best part!

Bubble wrap your kids, then use packing tape to secure in the trunk.

I'm always wrong

My golden Lion, now with "cat's eyes" marbles. Someone littered, found it under a bush at the end of my street. Daughter hauled it home. The front paws are broken off, finally have a big enough rock to keep him from doing a face plant. Many years of new spray paint, like the Cadillac Ranch in a way. ?

Never would know it's resin. Same year I was born, but raised with a Mercedes of a completely different world. Always loved these fins, should have a back-up alarm.

I've heard more stories about Choppers getting stolen, than parents purging your stuff. Similar to models, come to think of it. We have been having some awesome sunrise/sunsets lately. The iPhone weather app showed no rain possible for about 10 days, zip zero nadda. Girlfriend's weather app showed possible rain. It's really coming down this evening, Arizona needs all we can get. I camped out on the end of a Forest Service road on a bluff, and did a rain dance. There was some sunset driving out. Wow was it worth the very cool breeze early this morning, very pleased I got all the camping gear packed into the shed before it started raining.

out of TP

I hope where everyone in the neighbor goes for walks, counts as my yard....... This year saw my first Mountain Lion, just across the street from home, was about 14 feet from it when I walked by before getting on my neighbor's porch. A few days ago, I had a Coyote stalking me. We have a field, part BLM, the other Arizona, where people walk. I was on the mountain bike this time. It actually crouched down into the grass, of course I didn't get video of that, but it sure didn't act scared. Since Turkey spotting seems to be in season, not near home, but saw 8.

The stripper model?

and even species

Arts on fentanyl, may I present Burning Man.

Love the "vacuum-form" without the vacuum scoops. I've never seen coaming, I'm used to cowling for cockpits. I don't have any kits of this subject, but did get the 1950 Alfa Romeo Typ 158 by Druzstvo Prana (made in Czechoslovakia) that needs wire wheels. Will be lurking.
