I heard that long periods of no modeling can cause anxiety and headaches It's really good to see you back but seriously you should contact your doctor about the headaches and lack of sleep to make sure they're not caused by some other health problem. Your tiny details are amazing!

Looks like my brain needs that smell of super grue at least once in a week.
Thanks for the kind words. Headache for more than 3 month. As you say, I think I'm going to see the doctor on Monday.

Hi, thanks for looking.

As you said, I used some cable straps. White squared things are the cable strap base I bought at the one coin shop.
And some other things like yellow and black plates with some holes were provided by my friend in England. His factory is manufacturing those electrical parts. I recommend you to check those electrical parts shop or auto/ motorcycle parts shop on a internet.

All the best.

That'll be me

I was wondering when I'd see you use some of those bits I sent you yuumi, love what you did with them too


wbobafett
The parts in question are from the AC control drives we make at work. There's a ton of variations for things like screw hole/screen blanks and other parts that get removed from the plastic shells. I thought they seemed useful for projects like this, and I was so impressed with yuumi's inginuity for the Tempest project, I cherry picked a selection of bits I thought he could use for later ones.

Oh! heeey Canobi-san,

I had been carefully waiting for the chance to use those precious parts you gave me.
And I think to myself, they did it very very well.
I guess they'll appear again soon. They are so universal!

Thank you for your friendship.

Thanks for the explanation, both of you!!

I will have a look and see what I can find. For now the cable starp bases are most interesting to me!

Using them as ceiling lights is IMO pure genious!!

Agreed. The door looks just like it should.

Now you have me wondering what goes in the cargo bay - a smaller vehicle? Drones? Cages with locally caught animals? (If you've already decided, you don't have to say yet. I'll be happy to wait and be surprised.)

OMG Katsu-san, i see i have been away way too long..

That looks amazing, love the Miniature Bonsai you made. And ofcourse the pictures of the real ones at Narita Airport. My wife loved those pictures..

Your progress looks amazing as always..
I hope i will be around more often to check out your work. Sorry to say my interests have shifted away from modeling..

Keep up the great work.
