I sandblasted the tires for the Bronco I’m slowly working on. Then detailed the rims and hubcaps.

1929…October 28th to be specific, was a dark day in the financial world.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a picture of a similar one on this forum that had a handle.

Can Model Master or Testors enamels that have thickened up a bit (but not dried up) be revitalized with a bit of lacquer thinner? And will they keep for long after being thinned? Thx.

Seussical was a musical comedy that turned out to be a broadway flop.

A good set of riffler files.

Stubborn is my middle name.

Redbone coonhounds apparently make very good family pets.

Fantastic work you are doing on this one Jim!? I love all the corrections and modifications you’ve done.?

Looking good!? A bit of foil should really make that pop.

Interesting project, and nice work so far on the suspension and exhaust.? I’ll tag along.?

Survived a party weekend recently I did…at a buddies lakeside cabin.

Absolutely amazing amount of detail you are putting into this piece Ken! I sure wish I had your CAD skills.? That drive system is still very popular today in snowblowers. The friction wheel crossing over the center line of the drive disc reverses the direction of travel. Super nice work you are doing!?

Great looking mockup!?

Wow, that is some major reconstruction. They are both looking great!?

Very interesting…I’ll watch.?

Relaxing is what building model cars is…mostly.

World of Warcraft is a hugely popular video game…that I have never played.

I got the distributor drilled and the plug wires installed on the Bronco engine.

I’ve already hacked it off, and it was a little oversized anyways. But for future reference, I believe it was supposed to be a Ford Duraspark ignition module (or maybe an aftermarket replacement unit). They started using them in 1973 apparently.

And… another method. My plug wires are .020” diameter. So I cut a Piece of .020” thick styrene to .080” wide, and wrapped some .011” beading wire around it. Then I snipped off the extra length. Carefully straighten the legs enough to get the wires in. Place the looms over the wires and crimp the legs back down.

Not sure? I haven’t dealt with them in a while.

Olson Brothers also has lots of EB parts.

Right triangle measurements and angles can be calculated using the pythagorean theorem.

Snakes don’t bother me, but I have a healthy respect for any creature that could be dangerous. My wife however cannot even look at a picture of a snake in a book.? I just don’t understand that at all.?‍♂️
