I was wanting to get my instruction sheet done for the DW12! You know its an improved kit when I deleted more than half of the old instructions when making the new instructions.

I am prepping for the first print the Handford Device MKI I showed previously in 1/18 and 1/25 scales to see how they turn out. I have revamped the one piece wing shown before to create another version with separate endplates. Also, made an extension to the bottom of the backplate with a groove so one can either leave it as-is for the 2001 Michigan or Fontana races or one can put the ol' hobby razor saw in the groove cut off the bottom section to do a car from the other superspeedway races from 1998 to 2002. I have the 1/18 mostly done and will scale down to 1/25 and fine tune the details there. Not sure about if I will draw the wing supports at this time, still lots of guessing at this point if I do them. Still, I'm excited that I will soon be holding something from a 3D printer that I created from scratch. Jordan

I'm going to complain a little about something that really doesn't matter too much.......I wished when on ebay typing in "indy resin" that items that have "indie" wouldn't show up and get the way.....after years of typing in "Indy resin" (Like 70% of us do everyday) I kind get tire of seeing "We are indie toys" books and indie necklaces or these colorful resin balls in things!

Hear, hear. " Indy resin" also gets me Indiana Jones crap that drives me crazy. Who in their right mind would buy this stuff when you can spend every cent you have on little race cars? kip

Haha! I think that same thing every time I log on. I think we should start listing and typing in "Indy resin kit" which gets rid off all the other junk! Back in the day indy resin keyword worked just fine until here recently when ebay decided that halfway spelled words counted as well. e.i. "indie"

I restrict my search to Model subsection of Toys & Hobbies. I figure if they can't get it in the right category then I'm not wasting my time searching for it. My $0.02

WOW! I'm a little wore out now! I spent all of last night taking pics of the lunar Eclipse! I didn't go to bed until 6 am.... Then spent many hours this afternoon working on the pictures and photoshopping this time lapse of the transition of the what the moon went through! This was almost like building a model or harder! For the first time attempting this I'm pretty happy! I've learned a lot...especially adjusting the camera when it was going thought the total eclipse! It is VERY hard to take pics at night....try it sometime.

Photo looks great! We had overcast skies here in central Florida until 6:20, when I could see the moon through a break in the clouds. Sunshine State, maybe. Moonshine State is a little farther north.

That looks great, Calvin. I got a few, but remember I'm pretty much a point and shoot camera man. Thanks Craig and Thanks everyone....I'm actually quite surprised how many are getting a kick out of this picture. Actually Craig, your pics are not bad for a point and shoot, they just need to be cropped and they would be just fine. It really takes a lens over 300mm to get the moon. But with a 400mm telephoto lens Here is what the unedited moon pics look like.... I had the settings wrong when I took the eclipse stage.....Michael P. told me what I did wrong so next time I'll get it right.
