Rick's Cornerstone 1-87 scale P-51 Mustang
Slow as Mole-Asses on this but making progress.....I found more ugly seams to fill around the lower nose and managed to drill out the wing MG's. final weathering done in cockpit, clear coated it and decaled the seatbelts in place. I'll dull coat the interior once the decals are dry and then it...- Mini Me

Rick's Cornerstone 1-87 scale P-51 Mustang
More finite progress........the horizontal stabs. are now in place as well as the "cooler" intake....both the nose intake and cooler required drilling out as they were molded shut and looked as phony as a 3 dollar bill. also got the waste gate installed. This is getting very close to a coat of...- Mini Me

Rick's Cornerstone 1-87 scale P-51 Mustang
Managed to get all of the fuselage put together and filled and sanded. As most of you know, I'm also going for the bare aluminum look so can't have any exposed seams. Wings are now assembled and glued in place.- Mini Me

WWII Motorbike Identification
First shot shows a 1941 Indian S-41 partial restoration, the second is an H.D. WLA from the rear with the Indian on the right. Sorry for the lousy pics, The Museum put up a fence cos people can't read signs and control their kids, to keep them from climbing on the exhibits.- Mini Me

Rick's Cornerstone 1-87 scale P-51 Mustang
Not much progress on this......scratched a instrument panel and stick decaled panel and temp fitted it all to see how things will go together. painted prop tips will mask and spray the blades when tips are dry. That's all for now.- Mini Me

Rick's Cornerstone 1-87 scale P-51 Mustang
Actually Jim, you are looking at three models in the same box. This kit comes with two complete models and decals to do three different planes. I ended up with three as I sent a half kit to Paul coz he didn't have a kit for the GB. These kits were only available for a short time and have been...- Mini Me

Micro Set and Sol caps crumbling
Here you go.....proof positive that the plastic caps on Micro-sol are constructed from stable material. The bottle on the left, I purchased back in the 1980's when I started doing decal work on my HO Model RXR locomotives. I just finished using it up this year. The replacement is on the...- Mini Me

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

The .30 M1919 barrel was in it so I took a Pic. of...- Mini Me
