Have you ever broken the seal on a new kit and built it? George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16946 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 09/25/2018 :  2:00:56 PM     quote: Oh, what potential!

Most kits that I have don't have seals on them, but there's been a few from B.T.S. that were shrink-wrapped, In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the caboose. Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33524 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 09/25/2018 :  3:16:35 PM       Martin, If our hobbies were our jobs I think you’d work in a rehab center fixing broken lives. I’d be a plastic surgeon because I like taking perfectly good kits and making something different with a little cutting here and adding-on there. I can see another fine model in the making.

Had this in a box on the chair in my shop, was balancing out some resin, lost my balance and fell backwards catching myself elbow 1st into the top of the chair.... Going to be a bit of bigger rebuild exercise than where I was going to start from......... In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.

At least it’s reconstruction of the caboose rather than reconstructive surgery on your elbow.

At least it’s reconstruction of the caboose rather than reconstructive surgery on your elbow. I've got some elbow problems already, but that's the other elbow. More critical here was my back on the final landing, and while scraped up a bit, no real damage. After the cataract surgery, I'm still not quite where I was on balance, perception, and localization.

I have a balance problem due to a back injury, so I know exactly how dangerous it can be...

All this started right after the eye surgery and I'm still adjusting - I'm just not quite as sure of where I am in a room as I was before when I was so near sighted that I had to know where everything was to navigate.
