    A little Diorama for Christmas

    I decided to work on the prototype fender flare. Using the little specialty clamps, I glued the reinforcing strip to the tabs in the fender. I bit the bullet and used superglue, to stiffen the card stock. My UV glue isn’t here yet. Then I traced the shape and made the rest of the flare...

    THE STRUGGLE IS VERY REAL!!!

    I’m glad you found it. I normally don’t, unless it is sharp, then I step on it. :skull

    A little Diorama for Christmas

    Arrggg… I feel worse today than yesterday. Steroids and antibiotics… lions and tigers and bears. Oh My! But Brown brought a goodie box today so I had to open and test the contents. These are hair clips. I’ve used them for years as glue clamps but couldn’t find the ones that are somewhere, so...

    Farscape Moya

    That is an excellent article. Lots of ideas for other builds of course. I did manage to create a PDF from the page, with great difficulty.

    A little Diorama for Christmas

    That looks perfect! I have a jar of oak sanding dust from when my wife refinished our deck furniture this summer. I will give this a try.

    Farscape Moya

    I think a full scale (1:1) model would make a great house. I wonder if Pilot would move in too? :biggrin:

    A little Diorama for Christmas

    We made it back from the doc with two sticks each… steroid and antibIotic. Not much can be done for bronchitis, but they want to avoid pneumonia by using the antibiotic while our lungs are gooed up. I did a little paper cutting while waiting for the doc to call us to the clinic. The little...

    "khaaaaan!" The Wrath of Khan - A mini face-off!

    I like this one. Does anyone know where one can find a kit or plans or drawings of the only REAL live starship, Moya?

    A little Diorama for Christmas

    Thanks! I do feel some better, but now my wife has the same thing. We are waiting for a call from the doc so we can go to the clinic. The wheel/tires don’t fit under the Bronco model well. I downloaded Bronco fender flair pics yesterday. Ours has the added flares so putting them on the model...

    A little Diorama for Christmas

    Thanks! That is the one I was looking at. I‘m still out of commission but Mike likes what I have done and will wait for me to finish it. The Bronco was a surprise.

    A little Diorama for Christmas

    Thanks for the compliments guys. It is much appreciated. I hope to finish this properly. I’ll keep at it. I’m not well today and at this point, I think it was the CA glue I used on the door assembly. I had two sneezing fits followed by coughing and then coughed miserably all night. I just...

    A little Diorama for Christmas

    I’m not going to complete this before Christmas, but Mike will understand. I will give it to him as a work in progress. The Bronco will be in the garage. I found my foam cutter and some slabs of fine grained pink foam. As an experiment, I made the transition from the driveway to the slab the...

    A little Diorama for Christmas

    LOL, great work. Fun anyway. Here’s some news: The body of the Bronco, cut out and creased for folding. And, folded. Next, the roof. Here are the garage doors and hinges ready to install. And the Bronco sitting in the doorway. (The roof is out of place, I just tossed it on...

    A little Diorama for Christmas

    Some progress, no pics. The garage walls are reinforced and the roof is complete. I have framed the garage door opening and made the doors. They are DIY plywood, using the printed door facing and 3 layers of the veneer. They will get another printout on the inside I think. Also, the hinges are...
