Big Messer

Probably what lies at the bottom is just an old trunk with a piece of paper inside: HA HA!. GOTCHA!!

Unfortunately, due to the way all the stuff is "stored", most likely at some point everything will be just sent to the smelter.

FWIW found these pics. Has several strange things on the tail end: https://www.reddit.com/r/classiccars/comments/1p5f7gp/bugatti_1936_type_57g/

Instructions are meant to be disregarded...

Doing work in my 1941 house truck. Things go slow because I keep making changes, but interior cabinets mostly done.

A race car disguised as a street one. Good choice!.

2) this is how we end with a lot of stuff

Murphy's Law states that: 1) items will be lost or misplaced until we buy a replacement 2) when trying to return the now duplicate item the receipt will be permanently lost 3) we will never use the new duplicate item. It will be passed down to our inheritors that will wonder about our sanity when checking all the c r a p we leave behind.

I did several very small holes (0.5 mm) using a high speed column drill and VERY LIGHT down pressure with some lubricant.

... yet...

If the wheels rotate and you have a steady hand it would be possible to turn the wheels while holding your pen or brush. I did that eons ago, not quite sure if I am still able. Moral: don't get old.

Very interesting!.

Probably the only way to successfully drill with the 0.1 mm would be with a computer-controlled drill.

I will start thinking about it tomorrow. maybe later...

I humbly recognize your qualifications. My oldest one maybe only less than 40...

Wonder what the mechanics servicing the cars said... probably aloud... and most likely sailors around would have blushed.

I can just recall around 20. I am certain there are more.

ONLY EIGHT???. You are not even a beginner procrastinator...

I hate painting. This will explain many of the bogged down ones.

Every time I start something new all the rest of the started stack gets pushed back some more.... Not very proud of myself but it is what it is.

Please change the cord on the CB. The one there looks... not good.

Progress requires sacrifices...

With their reliability record probably we are safe. Just go thru a car wash.

Find a box larger than the three models. Put each one in a zip bag so if any part get detached will not be lost. Put the bags in the box surrounded with popcorn. Tape box shut. Worked for me.
