This is going GREAT!

The one at Evergreen is the M-21 Mothership. It started life as the A-12 2 seat trainer, them was modified to be the carrier and launcher for the D-21 drone. It is a one of a kind Blackbird, The backseat is set up to control and monitor the D-21, and it has no cameras in the bays.

I Love me some Blackbird, Many moons ago I took a Testors 1/48 SR-71 kit and backdated it to the M-21 Mothership, with D-21 Drone. It sat proudly on my top shelf until I moved to Ga, when I donated it to the Hobbytown USA in Jackson Ms.

I am in the process of making the switch, I'm working thru my stash, and making small card models to build my skills as well. There are so any diverse subjects to build in card.

A literal 'Flying Tank'. Looks great so far.

That would be too cool! I was a young boy when my dad was stationed at March AFB in California, and I got a tour of the Palmdale Lockheed assembly plat, and they had giant tarps covering what I now know were SR-71s in for depot maintenance, but I even got a ride in a C-5...

I was with the wife unit at Hobby Lobby, and as she searched for clearance paints, I came across this. 1 of 1500 made 1989 Lotus Esprit in Pacific Blue. I rarely buy diecast cars, but I have a soft spot for 1980's exotics...

Very nice build so far. She'll never be called pretty, but she is a beaut.

Just a quick update, I found the box they were packed in, and all my models survived, a few of my smaller minis went to met the great resin god in the sky, but ohh well. Now I can start working on getting the Falcon finished.

That would work. I've seen people use this product to make a buck for vacuforming.

yes you can, but it doesn't get liquid, just squishy. and if it's heated back above it's critical temperature, it gets squishy again.

I'll start a new thread for this one, that I'll be working on soon. A baby Gold Dragon mini, but it only came with a 1" round base. So I used a new material to me, to make a better base. Moldable plastic pellets, you boil water, add pellets to the hot water, and allow them to go soft. The...

You are doing a bang up job on this. One could even say " Your destroying it" :cool:

Looks Great so far. I dabbled in Warhammer 40K, but it was to expensive for my blood. Good luck with the model.

I'll add my customary Welcome Aboard! Glad to have you back with us. This forum gets better and better as we evolve together. Let us know your interests and don't hesitate to ask any questions.

I love the look of those old steam locos... such art and craftmanship went into them.

Thank you all, it's still a journey. Many boxes yet to go thru in the shed, the carport is a mess, and the car sits in the driveway... in this configuration my workbench is also my computer desk, and my breakfast nook. it was a jumbled mess until Wednesday. It's still rather messy.

I Finally found the box with my paints in, and got the workbench set up again. Now to go find my Millennium Falcon and get it finished...

Nice model, and thanks for the plans. My grandfather was rumored to be a bootlegger in south Mississippi into the early 50's. Alcohol was still illegal in many counties in Mississippi until the early 2000s.

Incredible work, and a great rendition of Endeavor. I just saw a vid on YouTube about a dive team that just last year, 2022, found a large part of Challengers left wing. brought back so many memories... Sometimes I can still hear the pieces raining down...
