Thank you Bryan, for bringing this to the attention of the younger generation. I had a schoolteacher, Mrs. Goldschmidt, with a heavy German accent. One day, someone wrote on the front of her podium with a marker "Goldschmidt is a Nazi spy" and a swastika. Mrs. Goldschmidt told our class that...

How do you sand styrofoam without making a ruddy awful mess? I've only tried it a couple of times and probably did it wrong, but results were not pleasant.

Those are some pretty amazing models Frank. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I was able to hook up the wi-fi. That's about the extent of my hardware prowness. My wife is the computer geek in this family. She feels she can drive a car without knowing how to fix it, I'm the same way about computers. So between us, we can get by. However, fixing that stupid washing...

I guess it's a good thing that I don't have enough talent to make models someone would want to buy!

Kind of like those Hallmark cards that play a song when you open them?

A few years ago, my boss was having her hair cut by a friend, who nicked her ear pretty bad. At the clinic she went to, they used a medical superglue instead of stitches. She healed up fine.

Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Progress update: Not much. I have been working on the model in Autocad during my lunch breaks at work. But I often work through lunch, so progress is slow. At home, I have been working up dimensions for the hydraulic lifter assemblies. Also printed up the wheel trucks, but have decided to...

Absolutely agree with above respondents. This is one of the few sites I try to check out daily.

Cool tank! Is this from a movie, or a game?

I found (OK, I stole) a great tool for sanding thin cardboard... an emery board. Found it lying on an end table and it works great to round edges on cardstock. I asked my wife if I could keep it for my kit, as I know she's got them all over the house, and she gave me a whole pack! She doesn't...

At least it's not mounted on a space shuttle (You know what I mean Zanthros!) :cool:

Soviet video Here is the YouTube I mentioned: about 6 1/2 minutes long. The cruise missile part is a little past 2 minutes in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfWKRW89XwA&feature=related It is titled "Transbordador Espacial Buran" If you can't link in, you can go to Youtube, search "Buran...

Update: Color question answered I went to Youtube, and found there are lots of Buran videos. Most are of the launch, the landing, or the building collapse which destroyed the orbiter. But I found one which shows the transport to the pad and the Grasshopper standing up. At the time of the...

That machine looks really cool. I have arthritis too, most days OK, but some days I don't even feel like picking up scissors or a knife.

I didn't see the super Bowl, or it's commercials, because I had to work. Super Bowl Sunday is our busiest day of the year.

My brother and I built many ship and airplane plastic models as a kid. As an adult, life got in the way, and I only built a few models over the last 30 years, my last one about 6 years ago. I love anything to do with space, and was surfing the net looking for space shuttle pics for my desktop...

Thanks to both of you for posting. My bookmark file is really getting big!

Great work Shalom. We can really see it's a labor of love for you. I'm curious, are you planning to give it a specific boat number?
