    Rxr c600

    Until I saw the wheel truck upside down I thought it was able to do static and rolling stand in duty for a "dummy" loco, something to fill up a long train. You had me fooled, good job and nice construction.

    Hi everyone

    Feel for the both of you, not being able to do your daily routines because of sickness really sucks. Thoughts and prayers to both of you. For my self what works for recovery is lots of rest, double up on vitamin C caps, may not work for you but I hope for the best. In the first message, you...

    That's part of the fascination of this model media, is how long it can last. Other than dusting occasionally and fretting over the sun bleaching not much happens to it. If I took better pictures you could probably see the wear marks along the fuse from where I used to hold it while making the...

    Pictures For those that are curious, other than an origami model or folded paper airplane here are a few pictures of the first paper kit I was able to wrangle together. It was finished 30 Dec 1996. It's a bit sun bleached and I didn't use any fixative on the printed finish cause I didn't think...

    Zathros, Ah, those were the days, the smell of burning torches and carrying pitch forks. Occasionally we'd have to storm Franky's castle and do away with the guy with bolts in his neck and afterwards we had to walk to school in deep snow (there wasn't any global warming in those days after all...

    Silveroxide-SSB was the cats pj's back in the day, I don't know what's hot now. Too much garbage and no etiquette on the air waves last time I listened in, on CB. On the Ham side I was disappointed that the code had been dropped too, when I was little my dad had a set of 45's that taught code...

    Zathros, thanks I'll check out the link! Really, thanks for the reminder, I try not to be one of those "problem children" but I occasionally will need a reminder for things forgotten.

    Eric-I've heard of Rigby, I don't think I've ever built anything by him. But you got me thinking just who did design that p40, then it dawned on me, I keep so many reference materials to get creative ideas from I thought maybe. Normal people throw things out right after they're done with them...

    That term of "white noise" I've used for years, to be honest I don't know for sure where it came from. True, I have been around radio users most of my life, my parents were CB'ers when that form of communication used to require a license to use and Dad used to build all sorts of electronic stuff...

    Hmmm, I thought I had already done this soon after I registered for this forum, but Zathros was kind enough to remind me that I had not. I've been lurking in the background providing some white noise by occasionally adding a reply to a thread now and then. I'm interested in flight and the first...

    German M42 steel helmet

    For uniform props pep looks like it does a very good job. I'll give that some thought for use next scenario setups. Eye candy for the games. does it have an interior too that includes the straps and supports? Great find and once you glass it in it will be hard to tell it apart from a real...

    The Uhu02 appreciation thread

    Uhu02, those dang rabbits can be so elusive. You have one heck of a sense of humor. Thank you for all your time and efforts! All told, off and on, over a period of about 3weeks with a condensed time line of probably less than 10 hours to figure out the clues. Its all right here within this...
