Hey all, I am going to keep doing little updates as I go through and review what I did before. Here are another few photos and updates. Starting to get into some of the meat of the build now. Some of this is a mid step that was in the middle of the build, some is of current state of a part...

I have a Troy-Built self propelled push mower with a Honda engine that I bought back in 2009. Just a week ago, I filled it with gas for the first mowing, turned on the gas tap from the tank, set the automatic choke, and gave it one pull. Started right up just like every other year.

I have the same kit James. Thinking about having it haul something different. I wouldn't mind if you post a link for the cockpit stuff when it is ready.

This was never a shelf queen due to a bad kit, I just went through some kind of change at the time and had to put it away. There was a lot of good work here, and some that I now can improve on fairly (I think) easily. I am looking forward to it.

A little teaser update. Have been working on getting all the info, posts, photos etc. put together so they make some sense and show what I want to show. The old stuff kind of sucked. Anyway, here is how it has been stored. I have these clear boxes that I got from work a number of years ago...

Looks good!

Have been where you are at Paddy. Have an old Tamiya 1/6 scale BMW motorcycle that was like 90% done, but could not come up with a good way to do chrome on the exhaust so it got packed up. Still have it, just need to look it over again. You will figure out what you want to do. Excellent work...

Yeah Warren, it has been a really long while. There have been things going through my head on it ever since, all I needed was an excuse to revisit it. Have tried to be on a crusade lately of finishing existing builds. This has been one of them on my list. The list of what I want to get done are...

I believe this beastie was the build that fully brought me to MA if I look into the way back machine. I think that old thread is still around, but I don't recommend looking it up as my posting style is much better these days. Also there will be a lot more of the in process detail that was left...

Looking forward to seeing your build Paul. I had to do an unexpected repair this evening. Some dimwit smacked my mailbox. My guess is with the rain we just had some doofus moron came around the corner too fast punched it and slewed around into it. Pretty sure they messed their front end up on...

There are a lot of flying horses there Nate!

The Proteus that is out by Moebius is a really decent kit. I was quite surprised.

Gofer it Bob! I was tempted with the big Revell kit, but if I can do (more like redo since I've been reviewing the build) my original build post Ju88, I will jump there.

It is huge, but the rotors on the original can be folded so it could be built with the rotors folded and thus not as much space needed.

If you mean that silver foil thing that is crunched, it was the air supply to push air through the heater boxes into the car. It probably split and if that happens the cooling can pull heated air up from the heater box and it can overheat the engine. I also crushed down the part from the fan...
