To enjoy admiring other whiffers work,  to write a few more backstories, to eat and drink in moderation and high quality, and to be here to wish everyone a happy new year on 1st Jan 2027.

I'm currently still warm and vertical, which is sufficient for me.

An eminently reasonable and sensible viewpoint. Carry On.  :thumbsup:

Finish stuff. Including the new thing I started, the Schnibblemobil. That means I'll have to build a trailer.
Someone check my math. Is 170 feet in 1:25th scale about seven feet? I double checked but still can't believe it. If I make it that length I'll have no where to keep it. If I take it to a show I'll have to have my own table.

According to

it comes to 2.07 Meters/6.8 Feet.  :o  :o

I'm thinking of a trailer for hauling pipe at a substantially shorter length. Still very long.

Now that I was to the airshow and saw the USAF MH-139 Grey Wolf chopper I'm very interested in modeling it. It's just really hard to find a reasonable kit of the Leonardo AW-139 it's based on.

There was the USAF version and a AW-139 air ambulance version at the show.

And the Italeri version very soon, presumably...  ;)  ;D

A company called AMC has both a 1:72 and a 1:48 scale versions of the AW-139.

Those are reasonable goals, though we all need to be horizontal for a few hours a day, unless you're part horse, or whale or shark...


Some whales sleep vertically  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Apparently dolphins sleep quite a lot ... but only half of their brain at a time, so they actually stay active when they're asleep.  ;)
