1/32 resin Cutlass kit. It’s been a real test of my patience.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ScottsGT: Use to go to Joe Nall all the time when it was in Pat Hartness’ back yard. The guy that was in charge of my old clubs field moved to Greenville and maintained Pats property. Loved the huge BBQ cookout he had at his home. Those were good times. I use Imageshack for pic hosting. Byron Originals had some nice stuff. When Byron sold it all off I guess the new owners didn’t have the same business skills and it died off. The Byron molds and tooling plus lots of parts was bought by a guy or guys from Wheeling WV. Was named something like Nail city or nail forge hobbies. I think the address was in a really run down part of a really run down little city. And they were not too honest in their dealings with customers by not mailing stuff out etc, per lots of people's accounts. i would still love to have a Byron P-51 with the geared drive. |

Repaired my Kraton 8S for the first time.
I've been blown away how damn strong this thing is. It's almost bulletproof. Was launching it 60-70' on father's day and had a blind landing and it landed wonky.  broke a shock end and two battery straps. Got the shock ends in today. Was impressed the shock shaft was still straight. Granted it is 5mm thick.

Just finished building this 1/4 scale J3 Cub that will hopefully maiden tomorrow and already started on this composite Old Crow P-51 which is covered in scale details. By far the most scale plane that I own to date.

Not quite ready to fly yet but very close. First time since I started on it I’ve put it all together. Beautiful beast! Pictures do not do justice. Going to an event in Memphis this weekend and want to at least display this very scale aircraft.

Rovan baja 5b, 1/5th scale 30cc 2 stroke fun machine.
It's something i bought back in 2020 after dusting off my old nitro rc collection and finding out that parts were unavailable, and options for a replacement were few to none. Then i ran across the hpi china clone, hpi being long gone, but the baja lived on! Parts are easy and cheap, and i don't need to worry about sourcing nitro rc fuel. I have beat the living hell out of it, it's on its second chassis since i snapped the original in half. It now has all of the reccomended reinforcements. Last outing i blew out a rear shock seal jumping curbs in my culdesac, and the pull starter broke taking out some cooling fins on the flywheel. Parts arrive today to fix it! It's probably also overdue for a teardown, cleaning, and lubing of the gearbox. |

Don't know how many tanks I have through it now but it is a bunch. Very good cars for $450. Mine is also a 30.5cc |

 Attached File Attached FileThis the old Pro Modeler (former DML/Dragon) 1/48 TA-154. I’ve been picking away at it for the last few months…which is sad because I selected it to be a quick build. Spare time is just not on my side. I need to wrap it up soon, because I want to take on the Zoukei Mura 1/32 FW-190A4 this winter. That’ll be a long project for sure. |

These last details are killing me. Between summer activities, trips out of town, health issues, AIM 1 Sparrows mis-shapen and warped fins and having to order aftermarket, it might be finished by next weekend. But I’m not holding my breath. It should have been done 2-3 weeks ago. |
