I would have preferred to filter it that way , but other body parts evicted it rather forcefully
hmmm. maybe, you used the wrong flavour of teaā¦
Sounds like he should have skipped the tea altogether.
The tea was skipped and the Captain was consumed directly from the bottle
the clear captain, or the brown one?
i prefer the brown. if i want something clear, there is nothing better, than vodka - good sized blackout for relative little hangover.
After posting my glamor shots I realized there is kind of an ugly glaring white face on the base and weird angle to the base that I never really explained.
This will be built on a slope. So the side opposite of the track will be at ground level. Hence the white uncarved part. Then the ground will slope down to the ROW grade. The base is meant to be buried and the land contoured around it.
I am encouraged with how sturdy and robust the PVC is as a building materiel and also the fact that it can be successfully carved. I love styrene but I think I might switch to making a lot of my buildings using it. At the very least the bases. But I want to playbwith it for making the entire building.
Itās easy to work with and cuts with the same tools as wood. It glues up nice and strong using PVC cement for gluing pipes. Sands great and used my thickness sander to make a nice flat glued up panel. I didnāt do it in this projects but in another experiment it takes a router nicely. And with this project is easily carved with a dremel.
I am hopeful that I can make very strong waterproof structures using it. And I believe 3D printed detail parts should be easy to CA glue or epoxy to the pvc. Strips can be cut just like from wood and then use PVC cement to glue it up and should be as permanent as anything in weather. Stay tuned. This is just the beginning of.me playing with it.
Devonā¦ et alā¦ Just a reminderā¦ CA is not waterproof and does not hold up well outside, wet or dryā¦

Yep. I prefer epoxy anymore.
I do believe a large part of my problem with last years MIK was the heavy use of CA. And it didnāt hold up.
Part of my new thinking is pvc and pvc cement is water proof and using epoxy and e6000 for dissimilar materials may be a better plan.
Or just build it all fragile and dip it in clear epoxy. . .lol

Its official. . . I am over budget. Just got the bill. This yearās MIK cost me 229 dollars in silk and a half hour conversation with a pretty young doctor. Note to Daveā¦ letās change the date of the MIK to the end of the year AFTER I meet my insurances out of pocket threshold.
Sad part is I didnāt get to keep the forceps. At least then if have purchased something I could use in future modeling.
Thatās funny because I recently took my Dad to get stitched up and we both asked if we could have the tools. The nice PA said no we sterilize and reuse.
Iām still working on my dentist to get another set of scrapers to use for styrene cutting.

Yep thatās the answer I got.
Interesting. Sterilising equipment has become passĆ© here. But itās use once steel, that rusts once exposed to air.
Aliexpress is a good source of stainless steel stuff. Much cheaper than Micromark too.
I have all i really need. And honestly living in fly fishing country and I have access to all the inexpensive stainless forceps I need. I use them way more in fly tying and fly fishing than I do in modeling. When I was in HO and doing model cars I used forceps and tweezers a lot more. In G scale is linemans pliersā¦
But for 229 bucks I didnāt get forceps or a date. . . All i got was a lack luster sewing lesson.
Did I mention I had an attractive young doc
Rev Horndog Sinsely LOL.
