The B-1 should be wrapped up this week less weapons. I'm waiting for a company called Shull24 to re-open so I can order the JDAMs. Anyway. Here's where I'm at.

Lets see your Model Sunday Pictures......

Hardly anything here. I did cast a set of elephants in 1:16 and 1:24 to go on the Franklin Mint Bugattis. I pulled a vacuum so deep that I probably boiled off some ingredient of the epoxy resin . Need to check. It could also be moisture. (still need to check if I can have water boil at room temperature with the new vacuum setup. I have time for that when the little guy is asleep, but the vacuum system runs in my office, next to his bedroom... Dilemma.)

I did sort of promise, however, to start building the 1:8 Bugatti T35 in about 2 weeks from now. I hope sick bay has turned into a more healthy environment by then.

She's done. Had a lot of time today since the wife had to work.

When I heard about Tamiya 's new Honda 6 with upgrade kits, there was no question or delay. After a few days of looking at the parts - nicely bagged to protect them from drool - I dove in with the most tedious looking job, the chain. Assembly was about 98% smooth, the other 2% took half the time and all the creative language. What a product, though, I can see these chain kits finding homes in other models.

NICE chain. <drool>
