So much love for the big E shines forth in your photos and videos. :like =D> :bow: :D 8) Wow, thanks very much! I’ve always admired your work so I greatly appreciate the kind words. I built a custom spra...

Re: 1:350 PL TOS E Build Up

I'm trying (and failing) to wrap my head around your project: stepper motors, designing PC boards, making your own masks and sticking with it for 10 years. And I'm sure I'm barely touching the surface. I looked through your flickr photos and my head was spinning at the wiring harness alone. Bravo! ...

1:350 PL TOS E Build Up

Took me 10 yrs to complete, but I wanted to develop my own lighting circuit using stepper motors for the spinning bussard collectors and that took a lot of R&D. It was worth it as they are almost noiseless. The base is an homage to AMT’s three E kit designed and produced by Stephen Burns. It con...

Re: Original Aurora Man from U.N.C.L.E. Kits

When I started model kits again in the 1990's I somehow expected all the kits I loved to be on shelves and available to purchase. WAS I SURPRISED! A handful of old reissued kits on shelves. Then I discovered garage kits and mail order catalogs and I got all kinds of things. Old kits I never knew ex...

Re: Original Aurora Man from U.N.C.L.E. Kits

I loved all the TV/Movie tie-ins I could find back in the 60's, and now I'm stuck with the teenage version of the painting I did on them back then. Wish mine looked as great as yours do! Thanks! But at least you have them - all my kits from back then were lost or sold. I’ve had to buy new ones now ...

Me too! I’d get a set for my brother. PL re-popped the Bond kits so I don’t know why they didn’t do these.
