The black hats in airborne school always were quick to remind us we were not airborne qualified after our 1st jump. We were only 1/5 airborne and still 4/5's dirty nasty leg!!! Tim

Not just a leg, but a dirty, nasty, scum-sucking wanna be airborne LEG!!! Lol Tim

So use a more flat ended ones? Tim

The other night, I was holding a tiny piece of flat pe trying to glue it on, but it kept moving even while I had it squeezed between my tweezers. What's the best ones you guys use for handling pe? Tim

Helmsman, any surprise shipping charges other than the regular shipping rate??? Tim

Bueller, Bueller????? Tim

I want to place an order from them but have never heard of them. Has anybody done business with them? Are they good or bad? I'm in the US and they are a overseas store. Thanks! Tim

I bet Pete Fleischmann would love to get ahold of that frogman set! Tim

Sounds like maybe his next new line should be size specific foil strips! Tim

Matt, I've got a few pics of the chaff dispenser (the flare uses the same bucket.) PM me your email and I'll shoot some pics your way tomorrow if you want them. Tim

Matt, AFAIK no one makes them for 1/35 helos. Sounds like a good marketing idea for Floyd over at Wernerswings though! Tim

We appreciate the thoughtfulness and prayers of quite frankly, total strangers and yet everyone on here feels like family. This site will always be close to me not only for models, but the closeness that we share in everyday posts. Tim

My wife called me around 9:30 and told me she's gone. This COVID stuff really, really sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tim

I thank each and everyone one of you who have lifted up Janie in prayer, but unfortunately the inevitable is going to happen. 2 Dr's have said that the ventilator basically isn't doing any good so the husband and kids decided to take her off of it. It's just a matter of time now. Don't worry about me, just pray for my wife, her brother and Janie's family now. Thank you all!!! Tim

Yes, I totally agree. I've never seen a bad model from Oliver! Always awesome looking detail to every model he builds! Tim

Well, Janie is a fighter. She's still here. The hospital put in a line to give her body nutrients for strength. She's still on the ventilator and the family wants her kept on it. She's nowhere near out of the woods yet, but baby steps????? We still have hope and faith! Thank you all who have lifted her up in prayer!!! Please keep it up!!! Tim

I use Flickr. Its free and works fine for me! Tim

Peter, how about some 1/35 and 1/48 helicopter FLIR displays??? Tim

Cool. Can't wait to get them for helos! Tim

Thanks all. I'm more concerned about my wife and Janie's family actually than I am myself. Tim

UPDATE: The Dr called the family in to say their goodbyes. He said that even with a ventilator, she's too far gone. He thinks it won't be very long. It don't matter to me what other people's religious views are (although I respect them), I am a former preacher and I've seen GOD move in impossible situations and miracles happen, so we're not giving up until it's either finally over or she pulls through. Will keep updates as we here it Tim

Hey all, my wife and I found out several hours ago that her sister has COVID really, really bad and the hospital don't think she's gonna make it very long. She's not on a ventilator per her request (DNR), but her oldest son is getting an emergency POA in order to override it. I (We) would appreciate any and all prayers right now for her. Her name is Janie! Thanks in advance! Tim

Thanks Maru. Some awesome and cool person sent me an early Christmas present, so I want to "pay it forward " so to say! Tim

Kev, throw this resin kit in along with my MH-60L decals as a gift bundle. It's the 1/35 resin rotorhead drivetrain from reskit for use on the Kitty Hawk MH-60L or HH-60G kits. Thanks! Tim

I'm finishing up the kitchen remodel and at the same time, I'm waiting on the rest of the Live Resin figures to come from Ukraine. Tim
