KT EASTMAN

I know a lot of you do this but there are still some that do not!!! If you have a collection or just a few you should protect your plastic by "Bagging" your tires!! I use the little jewelry/bead bags. They come in a few sizes and can be found at your local craft shop(Hobby Lobby,Michaels,etc) A little effort now will preserve your model for years to come!!! I have so many models that have suffered damage from the wheels. The plastic I can fix, but the glass....thats another story!! Don't let this happen to you!!!!

OH, I get it!!! Mabe you could just build a little Tiki hut in Jairus's backyard!!! I bet the rent will be cheap!! Seriously, any new plans Gregg??

I know what you mean about the crowds and pollution Gregg!! We moved here in 1976 and it has grown at least 5 times the size!!! It seems that everywhere you go around the edge of the city there is a new development!! Currently there is this huge Eastward Ho and everyones moving east of Colorado Springs to smaller towns like Falcon and Calhan. Falcon is like its own little city now and it is growing daily!!! KT

That should just be awesome with a BOSS under the hood!!!

Welcome to our world Rick!!!!

Great tip Peter!! BTW, I think that 1:1 Superbird pic was taken at Bandimere Speedwy in Morrison, Colorado!!!

Just curious about everyones age. The reason I am asking is around here(Colorado) it seems that I am always the youngest and I am 33 years old!! Sometimes I feel like part of a dying breed of modelers!!! KT

Bummer it fell through!!! Well, I guess you could always just move in with Jairus!!! Its probley his fault the deal did not go through!!! Just kidding Jairus!!! LOL!!!! Well I hope you can find somewhere else soon!!! Have you put any thought to Colorado?? You could hang out with us and be closer to the publisher!!! KT

Just picked up issue #115(Late as usual!!) and noticed that Gregg was moving back to the mainland. When is this going to happen Gregg?? Have you found a house yet?? Hopefully everything will go OK and you can get settled in quickly!! I know an over ocean move cannot be easy. Well, good luck!! Keep us posted and if you need anything, please let us all know!!!! KT

Thanks for the compliment Dave!!! It was actually quite a fun build once I got passed the drilling(over 250 "trim" holes). Though I have not tried it I do believe that a little rubbing alcohol will "revive" a dried out towel. KT

Heres my most recent build using a tarp. It molded up so well I actually took the boat engine out to use on another project!!! KT

Lets give this a try!!!! Hey, I think I got it!!!! Thanks!!! KT

Boy, I was just about to ask the same question!!! KT

The "folds" are very easy to get rid of. Just rub it lightly and they go away!! I usually don't even bother if I am forming it to something. I have yet to have a problem with the folds. KT 8)

For those of you who are looking to make a Tarp heres how!!! All you need to do is locate a moist towellete like the ones you get from KFC. Open it up, form it to whatever shape you wish and allow it to dry. It will usually only take about 15mins. to dry. Once dry, all you have to do is paint it with your favorite "Tarp" colors(Silver,Blue,Tan,etc.) This stuff has a real good texture and looks good when finished!!! You can also use those moist eyeglass cleaners as well with similar results!!! I like this much better than the old tissue/glue method. Its much cleaner and faster!!! Give it a try!!! Enjoy!!! KT
