Wow, that’s a great looking reefer!

And I am continually amazed by the depth, breadth, and length of that parts box. Admit it, it’s a wormhole into another dimension, isn’t it?

There are several parts boxes, But some are getting emptied out by use and/or by eBay sales,

Right now I'm suddenly rather low on Grandt Line stirrup steps,

Try past Andromeda, I hear there's a supplier in orbit around Betelgeuse.

Actually, the last order I placed for Grandt Line arrived quite promptly - October, I think. I have not tried ordering very much Dec-Feb due to the PO mess, but the parts that I ordered last week from Scale City arrived in 4 days by 1st class mail, so I am somewhat encouraged now. Waiting for an order from Micro Mark; rarely order from them, but the nearest hobby shop of any value is a 90 miles drive into PA..........nope, not happening........and now I'm about to run out of 5/32 styrene angle........

You may find styrene in Michael's or Walmart.

Keep your greasy hands of my white curtains.

Coming along

Now i need to remove some Polly Pocket figures my daughter glued in. If they were in a place out of the way i'd leave them in. She tried to help. I can't figure out how to handle the " don't do that again". Good thing she only used tacky glue.

Let her build her own car in parallel with Dad?

[robert.]

Yes. I let her help me with this one. It's more about climbing up the bookshelves and getting it from the top shelf. she has a broken foot and hard plastic boot. It's been a hard two weeks. Snow outside broken foot (Freiberg's fracture) No friends to play with. She is climbing the walls. She did make a nice dragon for the lunar new year.

[robert.]

Oriental dragon. 4 water bottles filled with stones. Then placed in stockings and tied together. finished with paper hot glued on. Each water bottle segment has sticks to hold it up.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Clever and cool; got to find her more projects!

[gregj410]

Looking good Robert! I love the dragon! Nice job to your daughter. Hmm....Polly pockets, brings back memories Funny how you forget about this stuff once your kids get through that phase. Maybe it’s time for a tub of legos. I’m in awe of what you can do with LEGO’s today. They make just about every size and shaped piece you can imagine. My youngest daughter(14) occasionally still breaks out the LEGO’s.

Put the sides on and calling this one done now....







Next!

Any chance a Founders reeder is on the horizon?

A Founders reefer would be cool. Have to look into the artwork and see how hard that might be to create.........decals, hmmmm.......
