Not funny Dr. Dewire!!....... -7 deg.(F) today with over a foot of accumulated snow......been pushing every day for the last three days. Gimme a break already! I sure am glad it is "Thirsty" Thursday today....I'll get my weekly dose of anti freeze (Whiskey) and a nice Ribeye steak for dinner! :thumb2:

[Allen Dewire]

I feel ya Bro! 6° C here right now, snow is gone and we didn't do Stammtisch tonight either. Thursdays are always great days for a good meal and some cold ones at Brauerei Wagner. Been doing it on Thursdays since 1993...

Thanks Allen, the other side! No just an excursion.think the next build will have tracks or wheels.

Since 2022 has pretty much been a washout for me on the modeling front, I decided to try to build something useful, quick, and was also one of my Christmas presents, so......





At least it involves cutting and gluing plastic........and no worries about crappy decals or the correct FS or RLM color!:smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::smiling3:

[Mini Me]

Not seen one of these done..........will you be doing a build thread on this one?

I will, l just need to finish checking the panel lines and rivets for any accuracy issues first

[Ernie]

Well, the rivet counting on the glue bottle holder checked out and it was deemed worthy of building. :smiling3: :smiling3:
All eight pieces practically fell together. Though adequate, the instructions did not include a history of the glue holder, and you can only build one version from the box, which is something of a downer.



At least I managed to finish it!

This will be next on the bench and is another Christmas present.

sorry if it in the wrong place but its on the Bench, i was thinking about this tool tidy for awhile so today after much thought i came up with this holder for my most common tools,
made from some 6mm ply, plastic conduit,15mm copper pipe, the large black bits are out of adjustable kitchen unit legs cut in two and some large rawl plugs all built into an old piece of plasti J board used for UPVC window cills. Needs a paint and a back but that might be a while
So what you think?
