Cool, Thanks, Jim! I wasn't sure how to paint them, and didn't want to leave them bare plastic..... The other side rails are done, and the bowsprit is mounted...... Happy Holidays, Guys!

What's on you guy's TVs today? Something enjoyable, I hope..........

Hey, Bill...... what distant Planet are you stripping of it's resources with the mining equipment and space rockets?

Got the rails done on one side, and started on the bowsprit....... The part numbers for the rails are wrong in the instructions........ They swapped one side for the other... Question, what material are the ratlines made of? Are they steel cable? Thanks for following along.........!

Wow, that's a cool sheet! Will definitely have to get this kit..... Thanks, Jon......

Mom makes these cookies called "no-bake cookies", it's real Hershey's cocoa, peanut butter, and oatmeal....... you put your ingredients in a pot, bring to heat until the cocoa melts, then spoon them onto wax paper to cool.... I always enjoy them very much.....

Here's a real cutie...... Ashley Leggat, beautiful Canadian actress.....

Hey, Guys....... Does the latest issue of the '60 Starliner have the same small decal sheet with the flames, or have they expanded it for this current issue? Thanks........

The "Baby Birds" are among my favorite cars! and custom anything is definitely cool. Hope you don't mind me following along..........

Hey, Scott.... I have the luxury of living about a mile from our small local airport, so I get to see Cessna type planes on a regular basis. Lear jets too....... About once a month, the Osprey aircraft use it for touch-n-go's....

Hey, friend! Thanks, and here's the colors I am using, just a couple Apple Barrel acrylics.... Got the gun covers and channels done on the other side.... Thanks for lookin' in!

blame the economy

Hey, friend....... It's not wood glue you want to use, but PVA glue, the white school glue. It's used a lot of times to attach small parts and clear parts. When it dries, it just peels off......

Who's this lady?

You got it, Snake.....

Anyone guess who this is?

I drew this from a 1.5" x 2" picture that I found in an old car magazine. The paper is 8.5" x 11". It's just Sharpie and colored pencil.......

Thank you Alan for the links....... I've actually seen the build on shipsofscale, but there's no way I could do such a fantastic job as it's builder. This won't be a replica of any certain ship, just a generic Pirate ship..... and Happy GrandPa'ness, BTW! If anyone has any ideas where to get rigging instructions, I'm all ears......

false warm feeling

I'm not sure I would put underdrive pulleys on it, man...... Don't they make the water pump turn slower? I had them on a 5.0 mustang, and it wanted to overheat if I was sitting in a drive-thru or something.....

Cruella De'Vil's car has a pretty prominent place in the 101 Dalmations movie.... It's called a Panther Deville, it's a neoclassic

and the Eldo(bent)rado's

Here's a link to some of the cars that he built...... they should appeal to you guys, mostly traditional stuff with a bit of a modern flair....... https://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/sam_foose_build_cars/

setter dog hair

Murphy drove an old '50s Dodge pickup in one movie, the name of it escapes me at the moment...... Sorry, Guys..... the movie was called "Metro", and the truck was a 58 Power Wagon, I believe. Can't find any pics of it, tho.......
