  1. Like Bolt said: awesome job, but maybe a few light scratchers. And perhaps a slight darkening around the barrel muzzle(s) and cartridge ejection port??
  2. Right? You may want to stock up then, while you still have time!
  3. On that note; while the "Legacy Hornet" and "Super Hornet" are both clearly from the same lineage, the SH is described as being pretty much a new build: https://sofrep.com/fightersweep/ask-fighter-pilot-hornet-vs-super-hornet/ the F-16's, AFAIK, are the same builds, but with new equipment. For what it's worth, I think the VF-31 has more in common with the F-35 in the US Armed Forces at this rate.
  4. Not to mention controllability (part of your point I think): with a fission system, control rods and coolant are necessary to prevent a meltdown. With fusion, it's simply cut off the ignition and fuel sources. This makes the likelihood of a catastrophic event pretty much impossible, as an out of control fusion reactor will basically turn itself off: https://www.iaea.org/bulletin/safety-in-fusion In short: no China Syndrome meltdowns. The K-19 was one such example. As for US Naval reactors: I've visited the USS Nautilus at the Submarine Museum in Groton, Connecticut. From the start, reactor safety and reliability were hallmarks of the program: https://ussnautilus.org/the-nuclear-submarine/ In my visit, I was impressed with how compact and how well constructed the ship was for her time. They paid very rapt attention to crew safety and reliability of the machinery aboard. And that was in 1958!!!
  5. As I said: it might be good for propping up that one end of the sofa on the living room that sits a little low in the back....
  6. Maybe now they can make a decent toasted cheese sandwich...
  7. I dunno... it might be good for propping up that one end of the sofa on the living room that sits a little low in the back....
  8. Always loved that scene; I like Misa far better than Minmay TBH. ❤️
  9. I hope Minmay's going to tuck her feet in; otherwise, that's gonna hurt when Hikaru closes the canopy!
  10. I have the Destroid Defender Pitiban kit; those suction cups aren't all that great! lol
  11. Looks great to me!
  12. Now you just need 1/350 figures of Steven Seagall and Tommy Lee Jones.
  13. That looks like a nice stash of models. Can't afford any of it; our utilities just went up again and after paying it today, wiped us out until January. Good luck on whoever buys from that.
  14. Yeah, I kinda figured you had a list of resources; I found picclicks to find stuff on ebay that may not normally show on searches. Thought it was worth a shout, ya know?
  15. Some progress: More pics in the "And so we begin again" thread...
  16. Thanks Shawn! I was worried for a bit it was an issue with my pc! O.o Right? I also did likewise, reaching out to other members when I could.
  17. Now I'll never apologize again for how I weathered mine! Thanks MT!!
  18. I looked up replacement parts just on a lark on Picclick.com (ebay aggregate site); dunno if any of this is useful, but I thought I'd take a look for ya: https://picclick.com/?q=alps+printer+parts
  19. I do it quite a bit, but I don't have an ALPS printer (one that can print in white). As for my regular printer, I'm so low on ink, just printing stuff on draft is coming out all lines. @Anasazi37 would be the one to talk to, but last I checked, he's backed up and ALPS carts are rarer than hens' teeth about now. Also not sure if his is even working, but you can try asking him.
  20. One thing I would do is to scan the sticker sheet and print it onto decal paper.
  21. Looks like Misa caught Hikaru sneaking peeks at Minmay again.
