Jeremy- LOL! Loved the pic... it has to be photoshopped? Glad you are enjoying my blogging! Thanks deaf mate! Dicky- It scares me that you have very sharp vision! Hope you have not noticed how fat and ugly I am? LOL Yes, another reason I am disappointed with Royal Model stowage set... those fuel cans came damaged already. The Verlinden set don't come with rims... just plain even tho it has better details. I have been pondering about removing damaged rims and leave it naked like Verlinden but now you have given me a idea... I will look around if I have something. Just ate last bowl of gumbo...   It won't be til Xmas when I eat more! Bones-   Thanks for the chuckle... I will definitely let my wife read what you said. Gary- Disgruntled wife after being married for nearly 17 years... nah, she is awesome! She didn't want me to take pictures of her without her make up on. AG- Thanks my man! Glad you liked... I am going to leave it that way and add just small stuff next. Any chance you have a copy of porn magazine from 1944 maybe 1945 will be acceptable too?  Carl- LOLOLOLOL! You betcha! Call 9-1-1 if you don't hear from me by noon EST tomorrow, OK buddy? Great knowing you my friend... later! Bye... bye... bye... Dupes- Holy stowage?!?!? LOL Loved the sound of it... thanks Superman! Are you telling me there is a power tool for this? I have Dremel rotary tool and it will make a bigger mess for sure. 3

That tool looks NICE!!! Will it also cut thru resin not just sanding? Less messy you know especially for a friend with mild OCD... |

Very nice work on the stowage Andy, love the box of potatoes, I'm sure that will make Spud happy! Those are some of the largest pour blocks I've seen on resin stuff, yikes! |

A band saw would probably be better, as occasionally I can't fit a piece the way I want through the jaws (think resin armor hull). Just don't slip and touch that band saw blade with your fingers! |

Oh, and as far as mess is concerned - that belt/disk sander makes a mess. I mean, there's going to be resin EVERYWHERE (just like your desk above!). The only thing that helps is that there IS a hole to attach a vacuum tube - just get yourself a cheap shop vac, pull whatever attachment is at the end of the hose off, and pop it on there. Probably cuts down 50% of excess.

Bill- LOL I think of spud every time I look at the box of potatoes!!! Glad I am not alone! I have been dealing with resin sets for a while and I haven't seen seen anything so huge like this... maybe it explains why Royal Model sets are pricey??? Dupes- That scroll saw would be perfect!!! Cutting my fingers scares me as I use them more than you guys... remember I use sign language. LOL Again thank you so much for great tips! Always great having you around my friend! Dicky- LOL! Bet ladies would mistake us for twins... thanks for the chuckle my mate!

I'm liking this more and more. That load looks great and I cannot wait for paint.......paint.....paint.
Did I say paint?
Andy that look from the war department tells me you were a scant few seconds from having that pitch fork inserted where the sun don't shine. Just sayin'.......

It may be that if we don't hear from Andy in a couple of days we have someone check for any fresh man-size holes in his yard, particularly if there is a fork handle sticking out of the middle.

Leon- Awesome! Looking forward to see your pictures. More tools the merrier... G- LOL! Maybe I should post plenty pictures of scars on my body that my wife has given me so far. Can't wait to have it primed soon... maybe this weekend if I am done with the mulch job. Bones- Good news I am still alive and kicking! But I wonder if she will let me live when a very special package arrives next week... an early birthday gift to myself. Expensive one and I didn't ask her for permission this time cause I know she will say no anyway. Sometimes it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission... Wouter- HAHAHA! Should I add more? It will look cool when it is done maybe in few months. Thanks my friend! Luigi- Those barrels are filled with beer and wine instead of fuel if I was the driver!!! Thanks buddy! Carl- Too early... maybe in a week when the wife finds out from PayPal how much I have spent on my own birthday gift. Bye... bye... bye... LOL

Dicky- Oh that would have been awesome if Value Gear offers this option too! I better cancel my PayPal account because I can not control myself anymore... Bones- LOL I don't think my wife have noticed the $350 payment on our PayPal account... maybe excessive yard work made her overlook it? Or she been plotting my mysterious disappearance... Carl- Depending on my wife's reaction... LOL Always good hearing from you my friend.

I dont know for sure what your wife might notice but I really believe girls have this genetic trait that once they are "wives" they automatically sense any spending buy the husband that is not authorized in advance for hobbies or beer.

Gary- Pile of mulch? How can I not see this?!?!? No wonder my wife wanted me to order so much... thanks for the warning buddy! LOL Mack- LOL! Still plenty of room for my stash... I think it will fit in the DUKW. Thanks buddy! Bones- I am with you about wives' sense of unauthorized shopping... looks like this time it managed to slip by. But not for long because the package has arrived. I had it shipped to my office. (evil laughter) I will let you figure out what is in the package... just for fun! Dicky- Can my wife call Deb?  PLEASE! Kidding... we are trying to pay off some bills and it drives her crazy when I am not helping her. Two kids, 45 years old house and two stupid dogs... never ending bills. Big trip coming up in two weeks that we might drive thru your favorite place in the world... NEBRASKA!!! Here's the package that may be the cause of my disappearance...

I some how felt it might be a tool to ease how you deal with resin parts, in any event for that postage I could buy a new model or at least some serious AM stuff.

Well if its an M4 Sherman full size for $350 then I will have to say your are histories greatest negotiator but that would be a little tough to get in the box. May be a Tiger track link.
