Modelers Corner

I'm always looking for ways to make use of stuff as loads for my train. Today my wife found some matches I would use for the fireplace before we got those propane starters. They wouldn't light so I cut the end off. Instant long boards of a size I couldn't cut if I wanted to.
Here's rough idea of what I'm thinking of.

The cross sticks are some matches that came in a little box. Cut the ends off them too of course.
 
Finally decided to get up off my ass to take some photos of some of my model airplanes built many many many years ago. This is one of my all time favorites, the world's first heavy bomber, the Gotha GV!

A view of our Tank field this weekend from the viewpoint of standing on the storage trailer. Still can't get it all in. We are going to have to use a drone to try and get a full shot. But it does give a view I have never seen as we did the grunt work over the last 2 years laying roads and digging.Aerial view of field.jpg
 
Lucius those images of your big plane models hanging by line make me smile and cry at the same time. I had some very large airplane kits that before I moved back to Canada at 15 me and my friends set on fire and shot with pellet guns as they slid down an old washing line we had strung up from a chimney. What a waste. I had a huge Spitfire model not sure of the scale but I would estimate 1/24. Wish I had it now:(

Didn't we all do things like this to our models? Wish I now had all the wonderful models of ships, cars & planes that I shot up as well!
