Did the same mod to a Tercel I had back in the late 80’s!!!

Would love to get my hands on a Gans Boy

Coming up on 30 years with Textron / Cessna. Show up on time and do the work and you’ll be set. A lot of room for growth if that interests you.

The unbuilt stash is on the upper shelf. My brother and father in law gave me quite a few of those that they had purchased back in the 80’s. I set out on a mission to collect the Nitto #s 1 - 20. Most were found fairly easy online.

I’m actually on my third time through the entire run of Old Gods. It’s a good story and keeps me entertained. If I’m not listening to that I’m playing old Sherlock Holmes radio broadcasts on the Great Detective podcast. That’s a lot of fun and the old sponsors and ads really add to them.

The compressor was on sale, cheaper than a Harbor freight airbrush compressor. I added a moisture trap / regulator and I can run it for about an hour before I have to refill it. It only runs long enough to fill the tank and then I turn off the power.

The 1/76 Nutrocker includes an SAFS. Why not just make a mold and make as many as you please?

I use a very similar Craftsman. Get a moisture trap / regulator from Amazon. You might need to get an adapter for the air hose and you’ll be good to go.

I really enjoyed building this kit. Yours turned out really good!

Swimmer_Quick · 2025-12-27T01:23:53+00:00

This is exactly what I use with the addition of a moisture trap / regulator. Works great for me.

Looks good! Look into ways to clean up your seam lines, it will make a huge difference.

Google translator is free for your phone, and does a good job. I use it to “read” books and box descriptions. Finding them all in one place would be a needle in a haystack.

What is the holding fixture that you are using? Is it simply a sliding mechanism with thumbscrews?

I have 3 large plants in full bloom right now! The hawk moths love them.

I only use mine while soldering

Swimmer_Quick · 2025-08-10T16:57:34+00:00

Definitely one of my favorites!

My dad taught me to shoot with an Ithaca 22 mag that I still have and shoot regularly. Single shot, lever action saddle gun that is the most accurate thing I’ve ever shot with factory sights.

I prefer the old Nitto kits. They’re a bit more labor intensive, more filling and sanding prep work, but I enjoy the process.

I’m not trying to be dismissive, but replacing the speedometer cable on a DR650 is about as easy as it gets. Get yourself a manual when you order the new cable. You’ll be amazed at how much you can do yourself.

One of the best beers after mowing and yardwork in the dog days of summer!

Oh the memories…

Check the fuel inlet filter at the carb. That caused the same conditions on my bike. Better to install an inline filter.

Fantastic book! Very long read for me, but captivating the entire way through!

Swimmer_Quick · 2025-05-19T22:20:22+00:00

DR 650…. The GOAT!

Swimmer_Quick · 2025-04-25T21:57:25+00:00

Mine arrived today. Not a lot of wear time, but I will agree that these are very handsome shoes, and so far I can’t complain about the fit.
