Good morning everyone.  A little more  comfortable  here this morning but the heat will be back this afternoon.  I went digging  yesterday and found  my Gruber Glass with a couple other Fos kits from that period of time. I'm going to keep this one out because it might be perfect for a future project  I'm thinking of putting  together.

Morning all,

Will look forward to your build of the kit, Raymo. 

Rainy this morning and headed to 87 degrees later.  Maybe a walk later, if the rain stops.  I don't think I'll mow today.

Fixed some broken freight cars and built some "shake the box" kits yesterday.  A couple of more involved car kits working through today during the Red Sox game.

A line of Corsairs, the first in line is in British markings that they used in the Pacific Theater.

Good Morning;

Neat Kit Dan hope you make it soon. Jeff love the picture, in its time the Corsair was a beast. Perhaps more than a match for the P-51.

Yesterday I got motivated and air brushed a ton of parts for current building project. Hope to finish that up today. We seem to be in a summer pattern of afternoon thunderstorms in the area which we need the rain so all good.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Jim

Morning all,

Ah yes, Gruber Glass. Named after one of the greatest movie villains of all time. Looking forward to your build, Raymo.

Gotta squeeze my PT exercises in before I hit the workbench. Darn things take me more than an hour and a half to do. I am seeing a little improvement though.

I'm getting closer to wrapping up the small build I started awhile back.  ::)

Have a great one!

Humidity here is down a bit, but the sun felt hot when I took the dogs out.  So I'll just stay inside and work on trains...  Plan for today is to add tufts, etc, around the orchard. 

But the bad news is that the blinking LED strips are back.  I'm pondering what to do, including replacing one of the strips.  OF COURSE, the point of failure is between the two longest strips.

Good afternoon, all.  I've done a few chores, need to do more.  Hope to make it into the Atlantic later this afternoon. If I do, it will be my first salt water swim this year.

Dave, will I find details of the LED strip problem in one of your other threads?  If not, feel free to email or call.  The only time mine ever blinked was when a 12V power supply was trying to tell me it was overloaded.

Happy day of rest to all.

Dan, that period of time was lots fun. Hope to see Gruber Glass make an appearance here soon.
