I'm 49. Zathros, you think your time went fast, my daughter got married last week. She's 30! Her second marriage. We now have 4 grandkids! Coincidentally, I'm the same age my father was when I got married. How did I get to be the old man?:killer:

What? No Captain's Yacht? :eek: Reading this site, I can't tell if this guy is trying to get creative thought process going, or if he's serious. If he's trying to stimulate discussion, more power to him. If he's seriously trying to divert half of NASA's budget to this ship, good luck with...

Thanks guys. I rather suspected the locomotives were linked together, and knew they use electric motors. Just random thoughts that occured while waiting at a RR crossing.:steamtrain:

Seems to be a lot of that going around. To all under the weather, get well soon!balloon6

Questions for someone who knows real trains: When they hook multiple locomotives together to pull a big train, does each locomotive require a separate engineer, or do they connect together to be controlled from the lead loco? Also, secondary locomotives are often facing backwards. Is there a...

I have to agree with Micah. Unless you're building for a competition which forbids supports, go for it. Most helicopter models recommend thin wires embedded in the rotors.

Amazing work, all of them. I especially love that PBY!

Maybe you can scale one up? My biggest problem wouldn't be making a model that big, it would be convincing my wife that it would look cool hanging from the ceiling! I once told my wife I'd like to someday build the 4 foot ISS model, but she wasn't too receptive. I wonder how the boss would...

Just googled "A4 Cardstock Paper" and got lots of hits, like this one: http://www.empireimports.com/a4-cardstock.html Hope it helps. Good luck!

For the right price I'll fly to Germany and buy up a suitcase of the stuff for you!

Good choice. Relatively simple box on a track. Easier than a tank.

Awesome! Those tires look so real!! Are you planning to build an armor piece for the trailer?

I was 6 years old when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. It was night time when they landed. I remember going out to the front yard and staring at the full moon, trying to see them. The astronauts were my first heroes. Godspeed, Commander Armstrong, and thanks for your service.

Ok, that's understandable. I was wondering because I am planning to update my Buran Grasshopper build and was afraid maybe it was getting too old.

I like to use paper clamps, they are in office supply stores. kinda like metal clothespins, used to hold office paper stacks larger than paper clips will hold. My office tosses out lots of them in different sizes so that's where I got mine.

Welcome, fellow Hoosier! I'm up north of you, in Elkhart.

Just wondering, how old does a post have to be before you consider it "dead"?
