I finished a model! 🎉 But not a car, it's the old Centuri/Estes Mercury Redstone. I also 'weathered" it, as the moment Alan Shepard became the first American in space. I was also born less than a month later, and wanted this as a kid, so I'm reliving my childhood.

There is a bird that has taken to pooping on my Honda. I looked out one day and saw it, but didn't have my shotgun handy. Lived here almost 40 years, never had this, and the car is a 2016.

Since I don't live *in* CA, but next door, this is not surprising. I wouldn't buy this book, unless there is a lesson to be learned.

Hello! Welcome to the forum, I see this is your first post. 😀 It is too clean. 😆

I got lost, and have returned. 🙄 How much Carbon Fiber would you like?

Right on, thank you!

with ulterior motives

It's very specialized who is doing machining and tool making now, on shore, firearms for instance, but yes CAD is it. Thanks for the blast from the past.

Love your weathering! It is a very nice kit, have one in the stash, even though I built Tamiya VW Beetle GSL Common Kit build - Tribute of parent's 1960. The only thing missing is a FOR SALE sign with $500.

Been seeing so many customized Porsches lately, that I've fogotten about this thread! Just saw a completely redone BMW 2002, guess there needs to be a new BMW Outlaws topic started.

I'm reading the comments, so many cases of life happening, then not. I just watched this, one man's collection, now he seems to see life is running out, and the cycle of life will continue with or without us....

Just the tire weathering alone, that pulls it into a fantastic build.

Up chucking from those parties, if I only knew.

I had the perfect day for launching rockets, no wind. I launched several, the ones I built in 1977 and a few years later survived, the two new ones got wrecked, but good excuse to build better versions. This 1:19 scale V-2, my dad took me to the factory in Penrose CO in 1976, got this and a few other kits. Dad wanted it painted like the White Sands test, from a magazine illustration. 7th flight. This one is built with a food can. Crashed second flight. Set the phone on the ground below the pad. Maybe I should start a new thread? Anyone else ever do model rockets?

Very cool pickup, but I'm biased. I've been doing short trips, have yet to venture outside the state.
