Gave more than some consideration to at least a version of Valley Forge after getting a bunch of Woodland Scenics “Scenes” as gifts. They were closeouts and in some microscale, like N or ZZ or some such.
At the time I had a bro who was working vac forming retail signs, so getting cast off clear domed platsic was not going to be an issue. A TDY rolled my way, and the pieces parts and the larger plan were all separated to the points of the compass.
Such is life.
Oh, and becasue life is inherently circular–I was bored the other day, and tried to fly VF-style domes into space in Kerbak Space Program. It was not a stunning success. But, that’s almost the point of KSP. To try stuff and see if everyone turns into monkeys when you get back.
Timmy: Lol, yeah I think there was a lot of ‘make the evil robot look like Vader’ attitude in there! Cool backstage photos there.
CaptMac: Love that idea, you could make some pretty neat life domes like that. Even make your own ‘Valley Forge’.
So is a remake of ‘Silent Running’ in production yet? If not I’m looking for one in the next ten years or so considering Hollywierd’s current obsession with remaking everything…
The craft is currently Lost in Space. But–we are homing in on it. With a $3000 bounty–Han Solo will find it. Just ask Princess Leia. She knows… she knows everything.
And it’s free of charge to you.
So… you are saying that there is a chance… [Y]
LOL. I missed the party here last night. Good stuff! I was busy packing up this tub. Er, I mean, this well-crafted and finely engineered model. It needs to be ready for immediate shipment. “You want to cancel the order? Sorry! It shipped!”
Fine print: No Quitsies, no anti-quitsies, no startsies!
Right! Timmy! Let me sweeten the deal for you. I’ll throw in some rather gnarly and mostly intact engine nozzels. All this–free of charge. Man! How can you pass that up? [Y]
Ok Tim. I’ll let you off the hook. Friends don’t railroad friends. Well, yes they do. But–you pulled out your secret, get off my back jack, weapon. That being… your wife. I see the error of my ways. Running!
Who else can I finagle? One that doesn’t have a wife…
She has gotten me out of more than one barfight… By starting one herself !
TRUE STORY: While we were still living in Winnemucca NV. I had a part time , well paying job, driving a water tender for the local Sherrif.
He came by our place on day , with a county inspector. ( The inspector didnt know how to get to our place and the Sherrif was just being nice and gave him a ride.)
The Inspecter was there by our request to visably inspect our mobile home set up.
The Sherrif was driving a White SUV. We had a Ner-do-well neighbor who also drove a White SUV. My wife saw the SUV and thought it was the Thieving neighbor, so she came RUNNING out of the house and grabbed our BIG Crowbar ( 4 foot long wit a Spike on the end ) And procceded to wave it about WILDLY and all the while screaming profanity …
( something about how they were about to meet the Devil while trying to remove said Crowbar.)
Anyway’s , this freaked the inspecter out and scared the you know what out of him. He couldnt believe this 100 LBS hellion was Attacking the Sherrif ( he did have a gun… why wasn’t he using it.)
After the Sherrif got out of the car , my wife recognised him and they all had a good laugh about it. But the Inspecter went back to his office ,and told his co-worker’s All about the Crazy woman with a Crowbar ,who Dared to take on the Sherrif.
Winnemucca is a kinda small town, so word quickly spread …
