In between the usual chores and therapy for my left knee replacement. Not happy with the results but whatever.

Last post by NORCALLOGGER - August 21, 2026, 03:56:03 PMYesterday I was reminded, in a friendly manner, by another forum member that I had actually posted this build here in 2013 when I did it. So I searched it out and sure enough it was there, but there are no pictures or historical background info and most of the text makes little sense without the pictures. Boy old guys CRS!
I was going to delete this thread but then thought maybe some of you may not be offended by a rerun with additional information. So will continue if there are no objections.
Rick, the old guy

Military Modeling / Re: Rivet counter
Last post by Peter_T1958 - August 21, 2026, 03:04:03 AMIt's more in terms of audacity such behaviour is practised. I could add another example that hurt me even more :
Some years ago I offered a «befriended» publisher some plans of astrange vehicle I had studied for more than twenty years. There is no original drawing available; so I had to interprete all from photos! Since so much work had gone into this I offerd these plans for a futur publication on this subject. Now that this book is available I had to realise, that he published them highlighting that he himself had researched this vehicle bolt for bolt and is very proud to include the first detailed scale drawing.
But take a look for yourselfs : red are my plans laid over the black publishers plans!
