On My Bench: Red Car Killer

Nice

Sprue Pie With Frets

GMC bus in Pacific Electric livery, 1/87 or HO scale. Just a little weathering to introduce depth and grime. For you non-model railroading savages, the Pacific Electric was the ‘Red Car’, a symbol of old, pre-freeway Los Angeles, the demise of which was immortalized in the movie “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”. Watch this space, more Pacific Electric coming soon.

I love this aircraft.

Amazing

This may be the most weirdly amazing thing I’ve seen on YouTube.

Beautiful

I especially appreciate the traditional version.

This looks good

Something I’d love to do

Of I hit the Mega Millions, you’d find me doing this.  Just seems like such fun.

Barney Miller

Watching episodes on Amazon Prime.  Frankly better than most of the drivel on these days.  Brings back memories.  Man I am getting old.

Good On Virgin Orbit

Even though it ultimately failed to achieve the intended orbit, good on Virgin Orbit for the first space launch from British soil.  Story here. (Post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Wow

The Russian military is a disaster.  Latest story here. (h/t to Jeff Groves, my go to guy on all things Naval, and a lot else.)

Does someone make a 1/35th scale kit of this?

This would be a way cool build.
