Star Destroyer and the Salt Vampire
Finally I’m back to the Star Destroyer and I poured up a Salt Vampire. It’s taking it’s time setting up in the 45 degree back shop so I moved it into the office section of our studio where it’s warmer, hoping to dry it out well enough to paint it in 2 days or less. But it’s cold here and we’ve had rain nearly everyday for 2 weeks now. Good! We need it, not water restrictions.
Today I will do the final paint job, airbrushing and weather on the hull. With any luck I’ll finish today. Certainly by tomorrow!

I am often asked, “Why freeflight when we have such tech as radio control?”. Tom Hallman has always answered that question for many of us with his beautiful videos that will inspire anyone with the passion for flight. Every time we fly there is a part of us up there with those wings and our hearts soar in the heavens.

FLY!

My last post on Christmas day and a fitting one. Years ago my mom and dad gave me this exact train. Engine number 2065. I’ll never know what happened to it all these years later but recently my friend Scott gave me this. He thought it might be long gone as it sat in a box for over 50 years. But I took it apart and the tender and got it working again. What memories this brought back from a Christmas over 60 years ago.
Can’t wait to get it on the larger track I have.

Mary got her Christmas present. She asked me this year to make her a present. So I did. This is what I was unable to share with you the last 3 weeks. It’s all scratch built except the trees. Lighthouse light blinks. First time I ever made water. It was wondeerful to do a different subject.Video and story to follow.

This is huge in so many ways I can’t begin to list them all. Webb will give us eyes to the cosmos as we have never had before. Thank you to everyone that gave of themselves the hard work and dedication to make this dream come true.   

It was a great launch and the telescope is on it’s way to history among the stars.
