Thank you guys!



During the weekend I painted the wires for the roof light.
It got a bit too cold in the evening so the paint is flaking off so I have to do some touchup later.
Cables was white and stood out too much.

I secured the cable to the wall by cutting down and bend some 6mm stables after painting them black.
Also these needs some light touchup.
Will glue down the cable along the floor.
This way the only wires running out and on the backside, is the plug that goes to the 230V wall socket.

Today I have been working on mock up of my "rc cars shelf rack".

This will be backlit is my plan...
Had to see how many shelves I have to make. Seems this is the right number.

Two planks wide shelf seems to fit the HO scale cars fine.

And 3 planks for the 1:6 scale Hornets I have..

I made plenty of clamps using M3 links, M3x12 socket cap bolts and TLT link mounts. I have plenty of all of these in my parts bin.
By fasten one end all the way, and then tightning the other end of the clamp, meanwhile the two links is pressed into the planks, makes the clamps both clamp them together and it the same plane. I made 3 clamps pr shelf.
Now alll these needs to taken apart and glue the planks together. Got out of steam today..

I bought some cake flags to hang from the roof beam. Will try to find some small fabric ones later.

And I found some stuff, perfect to make some small scale posters from.
I've had this for a long time and I have not found any use for them, until now that is.
This is a 4 page flyer for the 94' Euro Cup that I think either followed a kit, or came from a hobby shop. I really don't remember.

Plenty of nice vehicles to make posters out from

4.5cm is perfect as poster!

Can even make 3 more posters from the back page.

Also have this 1995 Kyosho catalog which is bigger than the mini cataloges, but smaller than the regular rc books.
Not that much interesting to see inside of this,which it a good candidate for scale posters.

The smallest pictures are 4cm wide, so nearly matches the Tamiya flyer.

Here is some other that is among the ones I like the most

Also have this mini-z thing.
But these look more toy ish to me, so I won't using these.

This will do for todays update 
 

thats amazing

Thanks to JR for sending me the photo of these.
They got a tad too blueish and pin ish, but I can still use these.

They also did a badword poor job of scaling them to the page

TBH I'm not at all happy you passed the file on like that. Anyone want to take bets on how long it is before they start appearing as finished books on eBay?

My mate printed it out on his wifes printer, just because I currently don't own a printer.
He is not intressted in rc, so there is no worries he is going to do anything with that file.
It was just a help from a friend since I can't print them myself.
I apologize if I have done something wrong. I would not have asked a rc person to help me if I knew he or she could have done something with that file.
Will delete that photo if you have any sort of worries Jonathan.

That’s really coming together Rich, nice work.

Thank you!


Some of my Georgia 1:10 miniatyre rc cars arrived this morning from Japan.

And yes the are 1:10 scale of 1:10th scale, or 1:100 in real life if you will.
