Seems to be up again. Haven't been in here in awhile.

A hopeful bump. So this will be twenty-eight. Maybe a real blow out for the 30th anniversary? Wonderfest would be the perfect get together. You'd do better lobbying for it than I, being a more regular attendee, but it is a good idea. I'm going to the Nationals next year, (first time, finally) but a...

Aww hell, now I’m getting feels, brother, SSM has been a constant for me as well. I miss Clyde aka Ent’il Zog, aka Emperor Zog the Appalling. Thee and me. Clyde was one of the first folks I met when I joined up here (nearly twenty years ago now :shock: ) We had been discussing some of Fredrick Brow...

Sir! You dance with the very fabric of time and space itself! On a regular basis, yes. I take reality and TWERK IT!!! I like to twerk it twerk it! I like to twerk it twerk it! I like to twerk it twerk it! TWERK IT! (Frowns. Checks CRISPR Stocks.) So that's where that vial of German Lemur dna went...

I blame Dr.Yo for not having a locking safety cover over that button. Of course I was going to push it,it's what I do! Of course=my most successful experiments depend on the predictability of human behavior. Now, gaze in awe on this fully armed and operational DUAL QUOTE VORTEX MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...

A thread has been started, but I don't think it's open to the public forum just yet.

As much scratchbuilding as I've done, you'd think I'd look in here more often. Glad I did! The build is splendid.

For the link challenged: https://www.starshipmodeler.com/wallpapers.htm

And yes, it is a beautiful tribute.

The August 2021 is awfully nice, too.

Let's see...

Yes indeed-nice to see the avatar again. Thanks, John.

Thanks! I'll give it a look.

I picked up some Testors decal paper for inkjet a little while back, and it recommends their brand of fixative for finishing the job. I don't think that product is still available, and was wondering if anybody knew of an acceptable substitute?

Seems like a thing to celebrate to me.

I didn't know him well, and our paths didn't cross much, but it is easy to see the quality of his character by the quality of his friends.
My condolences to his family and friends.

Back at you, and a Happy New Year, too - glad to see you posting again. Build yourself a hover tank-all of the fire power, none of the trackwork!

Thanks, Colleagues - always appreciated! A little more progress. https://scontent-dft4-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/25551930_10214468369572568_5555598368062002136_n.jpg?oh=0f64b64b4a04152b67ebffef33a2a31e&oe=5AB3C3CF Probably won't get back to it for a week - the Mrs. and I are on the road tomorrow f...

It's 1/76 as I recall - I'd have to double check the box. It was a great series - I want to say the molds were originally Nittos, but my memory is getting fuzzy. I'm not sure why Artic elected to jump in down here, but I'm glad he did.

The "LtPz" is for LuftPanzer ( air armor ) I picked up an old Fujimi Jagdpanther at a show in September and started doing this: https://scontent.fftw1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/22089526_10213786130837026_3804745915482516606_n.jpg?oh=56ac6b2b4ee7f33f74ab6eeff6b3cdb3&oe=5AC1A964 https://s...

Mighty nifty! Whole lotta work for an elegantly simple design.

The links work fine. Interesting choice of chassis!

Well, I'm on the same shore, if not quite the same boat, as a lot of folks - progress has been made, but I'm balked at what to do with the underside. Didn't finish by the deadline, but I should have it painted in another couple of weeks.

Looks pretty good, man - I like the use of the lego heads for the small tower

As I mentioned in the rules thread, I'm aiming at something like this: https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/1057539.jpg And this is what I have so far. https://scontent-dft4-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20953181_10213494865195567_2910449202231141189_n.jpg?oh=f9e705ddd1db27d9cb81daa03c2a4136&...

You got a whole month, Denis - good luck, and welcome back.

...And the Lionel Deluxe Chemistry Set ( with real Atomic Power! ) Fair enough...The Plan....

(Roars) MY PLAN!!

I've gotten started, but only just. In any case, it'll look something like this:

Officer, I swear I've never seen these questions before in my life...
