I know what they are BJ, i've got a few out here in the shed that I used to keep baby pigs warm. You've got enough wattage there to light up the city.  Works a charm Tony lee Speaking of baby pigs, Little John's 4-H projects   |

John , good looking hams !  You keep them pins really well maintained ..or is it little john ? Good stuff for a kid to be involved with isn't it . It must seriously hot in there when your taking pictures . I had a sit up with three 100watt bulbs and I couldn't stand it ! Burnt my forehead a couple of times on the metal cover !  I even melted one model with over exposure to a yard light that I put in a swing arm light fixture . I did get one well lit picture of it though .  I'm with Tony , real good pics . |

Here are a couple of shots of the major hull pieces and fenders dry fitted together. The kit has some minimal warping and wanted to test fit all the major player to see if I was going to have any problems. Every thing fits well and will only need some putty work on a few seams, mainly on the front plates. Now I can take it back apart and start on the interior.   |

Moving right along with this one BJ! Baling twine indoors is always a big no-no, you should've used wire instead! |

john you are progressing quickly. she is taking shape. one of the reasons i do more a/c and autos is wheels are limited at four and under.

Tonight I continued working on the gun mount and assemble the RB Barrel. The Mantel had to be drilled out to accept the brass sleeve that comes with the RB Barrel. This is going to be a real puzzle to get all the sub assemblies together once they are ready for final assembly.   |
