Ed, you have been MIA for YEARS. Great to see you here again. I remember when you were designing the scene in those photos. Please show us what else you've been up to. -- Russ

Thanks. It was a bit of a struggle to make the smaller elbows as resin prints are really weak structurally. I ended up making a hollow elbow that I could feed wire through to make them strong enough to not fail under my fat fingers.

They look good, Ed. And if you add a litte cheese, you've got a meal.

Ditto on what others have said about your pipe fittings.  Impressive all around.

I haven't really been MIA .. I DID get cataract surgery a while back which helped me get interested in the hobby more .. or it could simply be that the government too my photo down from the Post Office wall ....
