    So glad 2017 is about to end

    Hey all, 2017 was a year I'll be glad to see gone....from losing my beloved Aussie in an "accident" to trashing my leg in a fall to yet another mystery illness, I'm also now ending things with no running water at the house. But also had a new Aussie come to live with me....love that...

    Secret Santa 2017

    Hark! What yonder rocket kit is here? Secret Santa has gifted me my first 29mm kit, an AMW Pro-X White Wolf! Do decals or stickers of the TRF logo exist? They would be kinda cool on Secret Santa gift rockets. And I'm going to guess (mostly because his name is on the shipping label) that my...

    Secret Santa 2017

    This afternoon, I became very confused. I watched a U-Haul truck pull into my driveway. I had to ask myself, "Am a moving again?" The answer being no, I went to see what was going on. It was a UPS Delivery Elf! They apparently have so much volume this time of year that they had to rent...

    Secret Santa 2017

    Was just Star Wars today....and watching the cattle drive....the delivery elves are busy, I saw them everywhere today, and you can't find parking anywhere near the post office.

    Secret Santa 2017

    I have an extra flag on my mailbox that comes up when the mail lady (whom I refer to as the great satan, but that's another story) has opened the door to put in my mail. I saw it was up, and in my surprise I ran to the box only to find.....nothing except an advertisement. Will Friday yield me...

    S-IVBs still in orbit

    I always have been impressed how they built Skylab (and the unlaunched Skylab B) out of repurposed S-IVB's.....much better then the "wet workshop" idea they had. I would have loved to have seen other ideas they had in the Apollo Applications Project come to fruition.

    I hear enforcement elves and have visions of that scene from Christmas Vacation where the cops raided the Griswolds.....

    Secret Santa 2017

    If I can believe the USPS Delivery Elves and the tracking number they gave me, someone should be getting a package tomorrow. I'm a week off of an MRI that I still haven't heard the results of, and add to that I found out the other day my last paycheck bounced. I'm stressed out enough this week...

    Voyager Fires Thrusters

    She seems to be fairing better then the 6th probe in the Voyager series. Story from NASA was that one fell into a 'black hole' or somesuch.

    Gomer is gone.

    Ron's little brother Clint was also on the Andy Griffith Show. He played Leon, who was a kid dressed at a cowboy (not uncommon amongst kids at the time). He would offer either Andy or Barney a bite of his sandwich.

    Secret Santa 2017

    Secret Santa 2017

    I was surprised to find the email waiting for me this morning. I figured the turkey tryptophan comas would have taken until noon to wear off on us. Someone said something earlier in the thread about a thread of vendors?

    Minuteman III ICBM

    Hey all, Are there plans out there for a Minuteman III? I'd prefer a BT-60 base, but open to 50 or 55 or 80 based as well. I grew up near (still live there actually) the missile fields of FE Warren AFB (in the NE Panhandle), so I've developed an interest in the Minuteman III over the years.

    For Star Wars & WWII buffs

    Well the Luftwaffe DID put captured B-17's and P-51's up in the air, so this does work in my mind. If I were to do an X-Wing though, I would do it in full P-51 style, complete with invasion stripes. What would fit the B-17? Y-Wings seem more like the P-40 in my head. My Grandpa had...

    Question on Red Max versions

    Hey all, My Der Red Max had gone missing when I moved back home from Kentucky, so I was browsing JimZ's last night to see if he had the plans and fin patterns. I have some BT-60 in my parts box and the nose cone, so cloning wouldn't be that hard. I found that JimZ has the appropriate plans...
