Rick's Cornerstone 1-87 scale P-51 Mustang
I'm on the same kit as Paul E.......I was gonna do three of these at once but am reconsidering just doing one as a trial piece as I have never done a bare metal anything and would hate to lose all three of these to an experiment. Anyway, here's the box art and sprues with destructions and decals.- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale Kitbashed Brockway Shovel
Getting closer to the end of this little preoccupation (you can laugh now......) I must admit it has been a real chore at times, but worth sticking at it. I tried some rattle can gloss coat from Rustoleum and found that it dries real quick. decaled over that and then sealed it with Krylon clear...- Mini Me

Here's a stock photo of my work space.....including the Drill Press and Belt/Disc sander.....paint booth is a temporary cardboard surround and all fumes vented out the window. Stash is located on the shelf above the bench in boxes (so Smitty can't see them!) over 700, last count. Not anything...- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale Kitbashed Brockway Shovel
Here is where this is presently.....detail painting has begun and also the first mishap. I managed to snap the yoke at the base of the main boom where it connects to the floor plate of the shovel cab. So, while the glue is drying on that I'm pretty much at a stopping point. Hopefully I will...- Mini Me

Info needed.... M.2 (Ma Deuce) .50 Cal Machine gun
Actually it is for the .50 cal. M2.......In response to Richard's question in this thread (Thursday) I mentioned a spare barrel cover for transporting/storing extra barrels for the M2.......JR asked to see it (yesterday) and so I posted it up. The .30 M1919 barrel was in it so I took a Pic. of...- Mini Me

My older Brother came for the Wedding of my Grand Daughter and while he was here I took him to the Air Museum in Fortine Montana. Neither of us had been there so it was a new experience for both of us. Here's what they had to offer....... -

Basic construction is at an end regarding this build.........the last few pieces to the shovel support are now installed and the rest will be clean up, some filler here and there and then some paint.- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale Kitbashed Brockway Shovel
Slow going on the shovel support, still a ways to go but thanks to Paul E. (minitnkr) and some rather remarkable ref. pics. he was kind enough to PM to me, I think I have a pretty good handle on it. This is the last major component to be built before paint, so maybe some color by the week end.- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale Kitbashed Brockway Shovel
So I think I'm done with the bucket, dipper and boom mods. I still need to figure out a cradle to support the weight of the boom when stowed and then I need to concentrate on figuring out how to run the cable rigging for all this spaghetti. I made the bucket pulley/yoke moveable so it will...- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale Kitbashed Brockway Shovel
Today's efforts seem small in comparison to previous ones but I'm slowly moving forward with boom, dipper and bucket refinements. Also located the exhaust for the shovel engine as well as the tow hitch and tail light locations. The dipper pivot has been repositioned (deeper into the boom) and...- Mini Me
