Me too. That's my view walking out the front door. Chickens are the most frustrating, backwards, moronic, messy creatures on this planet, and that's counting human children and goats! I'm not a fan, but my wife loves them. Every time we lose one to a hawk, (not often but occasionally) I'm inwardly rooting for the hawk.

Two years ago my wife and I purchased a 10 acre homestead in a south Idaho canyon. So far we've added three goats, one steer, 25 odd chickens, and a 24'x24' garden that is doing marvelously. Building fencing, pens, coops and huts for the animals is really sucking up a LOT of time that would ordinarily be spent in the hobby room. I''ll take some better photos here soon. These are kinda old.

Terific work Dennis, as usual. What color/paint brand is the brown on your interior panels? That would be perfect for a current project of mine.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the decals. I've built a surf wagon in that past that really could use a finishing touch.

Hmm. 3ftx3ft, five shelves. That will hold about 20 models. So $378 divided by 20 equals $18.90 per model. Plus the higher you go, the less you can see the models. Here's my recommendation. https://www.containerstore.com/s/race-car-display-cube/d?q=display cases&productId=10001594 Nine dollars each with free shipping for orders $49 dollars or more. These cases are awesome, the two halves fit perfectly and look seamless when joined. Very clear 360 and smooth. Stack perfectly. 10-1/4" wide x 5" deep x 4" high. You could line the shelf with these stacked two high. I have about ten of these and I love them. I'd be happy to take some photos if you'd like.

The B-1 always stuck me as a very simple yet elegant design. It's performance is pretty unique too. When the those wings sweep back it's capable of some pretty impressive manuevering for something so large. I got an up close and personal view when I was very briefly stationed at McConnell AFB in Wichita.

I like it! Very cool work!. A curbside or will you be shoehorning an engine in there somewhere?

During that time period a lot of aluminum wiring was used. Very unsafe. Isn't home ownership fun!?

Very nice. I like it.

I quite agree. Not to mention, odds are excellent that the electical wiring will need replacing. That will be worlds easier, with no plaster/lathe.

Nostalgia is a fine thing. Appreciation of a finely tuned IC engine as well. But me I'm a realist. I'm down for whatever makes my life easier, makes my life less expensive. I have an 40 mile commute each way. That equates out to 4 gallons of gas each day. We consider it to be a sacrifice for living where and how we want to live. But if something comes along to knock my fuel costs down, I'll be on board in a flash. When the cost of an electric vehicle that can handle my off-the-paved-road commutes, is doable, I will do.

Yep. What he said.

I'll be following. Looking good.

I agree. Will be looking forward to it.

This is terrific. The bad part is that I'm gonna feel like I'm halfassn it when I build mine.

Outstanding work.

Yep. Before my time though. A terrific unit.

I may be kinda predjudiced cuz I worked on them, but the F15 always stuck me as a very cool design. Here's one from my old unit. FANG 125th Fighter Wing, Jacksonville Florida.

LOL! A Ford Coyote in a Roadrunner! Classic, I love it.

Engines suggestions. None of these kits will be that expensive. The injected V6 from the AMT Opel that was released a few years ago. 4 cylinder from a Prowler kit. The 2JZ from the AMT F&F Supra kit, but ditch the backwards turbos and add some sidedrafts. Inline 6 from an AMT AMC Gremlin

That really ticks me off too. Usually because they have put eight models in the hot rod category and now they want to spead the rest out.

When Monogram released it they omitted a year. When Revell re-released it, they dubbed it a 1979. I've built one. It's simple but I had fun with it. Nice work on yours.

Good stuff guys. If it is durable, I'm sold.

The results are in! Check out the winners of the real P2P. The driver of the Bentley looks like an intense fella. https://www.endurorally.com/events/the-7th-peking-to-paris-motor-challenge/

Wow, that Skyline looks terrific. Outstanding work.
