DRAKNOIR: Do you want me to reserve you a copy of the 1:18 scale BoB coming out in November? Lemme knkow ASAP. I only have one left unaccounted for out of two cases. Cheers.

Yes, I would, Bronze. Thanks!

Expect a small package tomorrow.

Been on vacation for a week, and recovering for another. Trade show coming up in October, and the deadlines are coming due.

I had some time today, so I prototyped a 1/18 scale scott hat for the blower I made. Excuse the fuzziness... my camera doesn't seem to want to focus closer than 3 feet.

That's it....you owe me a new keyboard now; drool damage isn't covered by the warranty.

Fuzzy pics notwithstanding, that looks the business

It's just a paper prototype. I got lucky with it... it's my second attempt, after looking at a bunch of photos and taking measurements off the 1:24th models [which are different from one another]. So I have the pattern nailed down - just need to transfer it to sheet metal.

Thats some great craftsmanship man

Thanks! I'm making slow and steady progress.

Yeah, I'm with Manx on this one...luckily IT dropped off a new keyboard in the drawer. I have some really good close-up shots of the Scott Super Slot injector if you need them. They're off Doug's car.

I accidentally came up with a new modeling material while I was trying to make the scoop. I thought I had screwed up a paper model experimenting with urethane, until I noticed the next day it had cured into something exceptionally strong and thin. Once I perfect the process, it'll be the solution to my thin section casting woes.

Bronze: Yes, shoot me those pix on e-mail. They'll be helpful.

See if your camera has a macro mode. mine is selected by a flower icon on the rear panel.
