OK, I'll see what I can do about some photos in my yard in the sunlight. I have a special load planned for it, and if I can get it put together, I'll take some photos of it also.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything nearby that comes close to beautiful scenic landscapes to use as a photo background. The best I can do is a bare dirt Benicia backyard. So ---- here's 42 inches of fun with a fern.

Hey --- I never said I was good at photography

Rex, looks great!!!

WOW! That looks so cool, thanks. Ya made my day.

Phenomenal work sir!

Today is a special day for the Queen of England (and me) that comes around every year. We both get a year older on April 21st.

This year I finished my M26/M15 recovery rig in time to put a special load on it --- and then I'm going to set fire to it. Thankfully, I have a fire cart and fire engine standing by this fire hazard just in case. The cake is not 1/16th scale

I goofed --- my error -- excuse me!

OK ---I fixed my goof ---

I got to thinking about a small detail on my trailer that I could have made operational.

On the side of the Bruder trailer that I converted are swing out extenders that could have planks put down to make the trailer bed wider. These are molded into the plastic frame. I did a Google search to see if I could find a photo of a trailer with those extenders swung out with planks on them.

Here's what I got ---

I have to admit I was surprised and I wonder how in the heck does this happen? Who does this? Why?

If somebody is looking for accurate information --- they are in big trouble if they use my model as a reference!!!

I would like to thank you all for your kind comments about my efforts to build models and enjoy this fun hobby in my past postings. I have slowed down a bit and have 6 projects I have about 50% done, but just can't seem to find the hobby time. Other things keep getting in the way. For a few years I have been involved with fixing some wear and tear and battle damage to something else that needs rebuilding --- me. I gave up smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, said goodbye to my old friends, Jim Beam and Jack Daniels, and changed my lifestyle enough to loose 100 pounds in the last two years. I hope to get back to working on some projects I started 2 years ago, now that I have taken some time to try and extend my time on this planet in better health --- 2 weeks ago I turned 79 and looking forward to 80.

If I was 30 yr. old rich kid I would get a 3D printer in a minute. Scratch building with Arthritis in the fingers is getting to be a challenge.

This isn't the first time this has happened, there have been a half dozen responses to other PMs that didn't go through. I don't know if it's me, my computer or the RCU.????

I shall send you my email!

Happy belated birthday Rex! Good to hear you are working on being around longer, I am inspired by your work.

Wow very Cool Rex!!! Great to see you have let some things go to stay with us longer!!! I am working on the weight thing as well. I was at 305 and now I ma done to 265 and falling. Just losing 40 pounds has allowed me to walk at least 2 miles a day for exercise without pain. My target is 200 by the end of the year!!!

Hey --- spending a lot of time sitting down and building models all day long is what caused me to gain weight to begin with !!!
