You and me both, Gandolf! Gotta try to keep that dexterity going as best we can. Good idea about the 3rd Hand... might have to modify one myself! Alan

Simply outstanding work, and a very resourceful way to use common household items! Hope the 'digits' are cooperating; looks like they are! Alan Claphands

zathros, +1 to that. My 'creation' plans to take advantage of that idea, and Alfonso's Models fit the bill perfectly. Cygnus, ATV/MTV, Dragon 1 & 2, ISS, MIR... there's a Model for everything I'm formulating in the ol' brain. (another plea for the CST-100... hint hint) :sticktongue: Alan...

Your Creations and Resources are the engines for our creativity, Alfonso! Recent rumblings @ NASA are talking about the "Exploration Gateway Platform", using existing ISS technology to place a 'launching point' for Moon & Mars missions at the Earth/Moon Lagrange points... a perfect 'launching...

Good to hear, Gandolf! We are kindred spirits in that regard; if we keep encouraging each other, we'll make it OK! Alan :sticktongue:

Thanks for the Welcome, Rhaven! It's a very personable and open Forum for sure! Looking forward to doing a Build thread in the near future; with the recent NASA Mars symposiums and the upcoming OSIRIS/REX Mission, maybe something along those lines. I also have an itch to try Paragon's...

Many Thanks for the Welcome! I'm really looking forward to delving into this wide ranging Hobby, and so far there's so much it has to offer! Hope to see you around the Forums! Alan :tank: ようこそための多くのおかげで！私は本当にこの幅広い趣味掘り下げるを楽しみにして、これまでのところ、それが提供しているので、多くのがありますよ！ フォーラムあなたの周りを見てほしいです！

You have a great looking Work space, Gandolf! I'm sure your hands will get better, and you'll be back to work on your 'next' project real soon! Alan :sticktongue:

Thanks, Gandolf! I will definitely use the painter's Tape on the backside of the Wood ruler, and give it a go! Alan :sticktongue:

Not only that, but all of the various Supplies and trinkets the Hobby stores usually had; the big bins of K/S sheet Brass & Aluminum, the sheet Styrene bins, Books, mini 'egg' Airliners... and, it was all touchy feely, too! Alan :sticktongue:

Thanks, Gandolf! I've got some ideas in my head, but first I need to learn the ropes. I'm practicing with scoring on a blank piece of Paper, and I'm also waiting on a steel straight edge to arrive tomorrow. I just have a wood ruler with a brass insert right now, so I'll feel much more confident...

Caboose Hobbies in Denver, CO, named by Guinness as "The World's Largest Model Train Store" will close its doors in September... http://www.denverpost.com/2016/08/19/worlds-largest-model-train-store-caboose-hobbies-to-close/ Spent many hours in there, admiring all of the different Models...

That's great, jadriancz! I'm in SE Denver, dealing with the lack of rain and the Rockies! LOL Alan :rolllaughing:

Awesome, jadriancz! Where at? Alan thumbsup

Thanks, zathros! Guess the handle fits; I'm also heavy into FlightSimming (MSFS)... One question... no reviving old Threads, correct? If I find an old Thread that interests me, should I start a new one for Replies? Many Thanks! Alan ;)

That is great News, Alfonso... thanks for the heads up! Glad to see there's positive movement in the US Manned Spaceflight program! Alan :)

Many thanks, subnuke! I guess I'll try it and see how it does. TY also for the tip on the angle of the blade; I'll watch for that, too. Cheers! Alan :)

Howdy! Noob question here... could I get away with using a metal edged Wood ruler for cutting & trimming, or should I wait until my full blown steel Ruler arrives via 'Brown Rabbit'? Thanks! Alan :)

You're quite welcome, Alfonso! :) Slightly OT here (apologies to the OP), but I was wondering if you have any plans to Model the Boeing CST-100/Atlas V stack in the near future? Cheers! Alan thumbsup

Thanks for the warm Welcome, folks! I hope to learn a lot, and let my creativity flow! Cheers! Alan :Grin:
