Building A Bridge

Well done FT.  Looks great!  Duel is a great movie too.  The only problem is the ending.  If the maniac driving the tanker had actually managed to flatten Dennis Weaver, we'd have been spared all those episodes of McCloud :P

 

Btw; did you know Dennis was a naval aviator?   Infact an interesting  guy all round :salute:

Thanks!

Yes, I knew he was a naval pilot in WWII, read about that...

 

McCloud is cool!  :shaunhb:

Thanks FT, so you paint wild a bit like JMW Turner, but without the spitting when dry brushing obviously.

Excellent work sir.

I do love the works of mr. Turner... the way he put 'light' into the paintings is simply amazing ...

Oh course!  Look; what if the Pope went on a lightning visit to some Belgian nuns and he decided to travel via Eastern Holland?

You know what Popes are like, right?  They can just pop up anywhere, anytime!   You gotta' be prepared FT

Now that only a few model cars are on the bridge, most of them were in a box, packed away.

 

So, using two pieces of perspex I had somewhere, and some others stuf, last Sunday, I built me a simple display case.

 

post-947-0-11225200-1433910598_thumb.jpg

 

The perspex door hinges at te top.

(It looks a bit warped, but that's what the iPhone's 'Pano' does ... )

Hobbies are very therapeutic so it follows that the more hobbies you have and the more passionate you are about them, the more there is wrong with you that requires therapy ?

Conclusion, we Dogs are very sick puppies ! Lol

Keep up the good work Arjen.

I get what you're saying, and I agree, yet I think it could be worded better:

 

"(...) so it follows that the more hobbies you have and the more passionate you are about them, the more special you are, and the more you can do without special expensive therapy"

Hey, this thread has had very little attention.

You all thought I had regained my senses and stopped paying attention to die-cast 1/64th scale models? WRONG!

It's just... I found a forum dedicated to model car collectors.... Swifty's Garage

 

I've started several threads there, one 'm for the bridge...

(And two of the pictures I posted of cars on the bridge got nominated for 'Picture of the Month July',  there was a vote and.... mine ended up winner and runner up.... w00t!)

Congratulations FT :salute:  Very well deserved too.  I note that you have spent all day doing a cut and shut on the breakdown truck, lol.

I find it hard to pull your leg over this as I'm an active member of two RC helicopter forums and I've spent most of this rather nice Saturday in early autumn trying to breathe life back into one of my micro helis. :P 

 

I believe its a man thing :rolleyes:
