Well...

I have spent the better part of the last month or so trying to find the PE for my Maz and trailer. Today I took all my stash out and went through all the boxes, sorted and reorganized while I did and still could not find it.








I was starting to think It fell in a wastebasket and got thrown out then just now I opened a box that I must have looked in a dozen times and there it is right on top.

I am happy relieved and amazed that I could of missed it so many times.

Now I have a chance to finish the first campaign I have run.

Cheers Rob.

Hi Rob,
with an average build of 1 model per month you must be busy until 2078 at least!

Thanks guys,
It's a modest stash.

This is the culprit for all my searching:


for some reason I remembered it being a flat package

At least I got my stash more organized.

Cheers Rob.

Hi Warren,
I have been cataloging my stash on Scalemates and so far I am up to 346 kits and 259 detail & conversion sets.

And I still have stuff coming in the mail!

Cheers Rob.

Finally got some work done.

I even managed to sort out the problem I was having with the bead work on the PE, turns out that the fenders for the trailer are a different thickness and the beads would tear before getting good definition but everything else went smooth.

Of course I started with the trailer fenders.


Cheers Rob.

Unfortunately I am up to 714..

I keep my own database on my computer although I should keep a backup online somewhere as well I suppose.

Cheers

Warren,
Scalemates is easy to use I thought about doing it myself but it was too much work.

Did I mention I have over 200 large scale RC Airplane kits.

Actually got some done on the Maz

I drilled out the ends of the brackets on the rear swing arms, I am hoping to keep the suspension movable a bit as I am not sure how I will display it yet.
You can see in the last pic that the arm and rear suspension is free to move.

Cheers Rob.
