Hell, Roy. The first three are on me. 1 1/2ounce jiggers.
LK88, you seem to be like-minded! Such a fun hobby with room for creativity.

Just a quick 17 second video showing how nice the metal tracks look moving along top of the road wheels. I love the bit of sag and undulations created by having fairly relaxed fitting tracks. I hate seeing tracks that are adjusted too tight.

Pulled Ol’ Ugly off the front lines for some needed repairs tonight. First I replaced the servo for my gun recoil which was pretty straight forward. Then there was the matter of rebuilding my starter handle and making it swivel. I cut narrow pieces of brass tubing and soldered a mounting wire to each ring. Made a new handle part from brass and glued it on the surviving plastic section. I used a product called Bondic which is like a clear gel that hardens when UV light is applied. Great stuff! Then I drilled two holes in the Tiger’s butt and mounted the assembly. I used CA glue on the wires that poked through the mounting holes. Now the handle swings freely!
My commander’s MP-40 has had the barrel broken off for months so cut a piece of wire and used CA to keep in place and reinforced it with some Bondic. Not perfect but it will do.
Now it’s back to the Eastern Front!

Thanks. I had the skull for quite a while but finally decided to put it to use. It was slated for a different project but not sure if that will happen. I have two spares just in case.

Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwartzenegger finished their movie together and went out for a drink. They found the producer at the bar, too. Pleased with the trio's work, the producer explained that he was thinking of making a movie about famous composers' bad habits. He asked if the trio was interested.

"Sure," said Willis, "I'll be Mozart."
"Yes!" said Stallone, "I'll be Beethoven."
"Of course," said Schwartzenegger, "I'll be Bach."
