Thank you all. And yes things are looking better on the health front. Taking cholesteral meds but the only negative is the gas it gives me. And thats only really a negative for the missus......

Message received, and understood. Now quickly to the Forge,... we need reinforcements! A new APOCALYPSE is upon us!

Any word Max? Cash exchanged hands eighteen months ago. Would kinda appreciate seeing some titans for that cash, or maybe partial titans? or Maybe even cash refunded?

Good to see the fires rekindling... I am truly looking forward to seeing your future works.

Glad to hear of your return. Get a lighter, gas can be a good plastic card heater.

Yes, in fact and very soon. I know my life has been messed up lately and that I have not met my deadlines but as I was saying to Brother Paen the other day my load has lightened considerably. The government shutdown is providing me a little time but the approval of my retirement packet has opened my days up greatly. Also, I am no longer having health issue or money issues.

In short I am shipping Wednesday of next week. And really not before Friday of this week because I am simply waiting on a bottle of bondene that i will use to finish rivets to arrive from Omni Models. Rather cheap supplier and delivers quickly.

Anyone still subbed can expect daily updates of one sort or another from now on until I actually retire and move to Las Vegas. Around ten months from now. I will have to see how things go with the new job then to set a hobby schedule.

I really am happy to know I will now have the time and energy todo this again. It really is the only thing (other than my wife, who has been amazingly supportive) that makes me not want to burn this world to the ground.....

Ok, thats my time for the night. Pics tomorrow and updated list of upcoming projects.



Mussed you guys.

Missed you too Max!

I had to turn off the news, as a friend I'd advise the same. It just enrages me, and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it, compounding the problem.

Good to hear things are looking up for you. I look forward with great anticipation for the next set of your endeavors.

Best of luck!

Yes, we scared another riveter out of retirement this week, see what can happen when the u.s. government stops working .

Haha.....

I must say that I just recently found this thread and am pumped to see that it has come back!

Max, im glad life, health and monetary issues have improved, the quality of the work you were producing is absolutely astounding.

Thank you for your lifetime of service, and you should look forward to the retirement you deserve.

I am so excited i have time to work again. Especially at this timeof the year.... we are a big halloween holiday family.......

Looking good there... I have to include a kitchen view-shot for once...our kitchen is so small, it would fit snuggly three times in this palace...

Our german kitchen was unbearably small. I remeber hating it very much......

Well, and yours is probably fir cooking only? You have a dinning room? We only have a three room apartment for four peeps...

Yes that is correct, Vik. And if my missus had her way we would have one twice that size.

Even if we don't own such a dining room and the kitchen is rather small, both rooms are very important for families... The kitchen is always the place where the life happens the most!
