No kidding, I never used my password, just depended on password manager, which seems to have forgotten EVERYTHING.... Every so often I come here and try another password.

It's been excessively quiet around here so here is a toy video to break up the silence... I've been working on making a series of scale sized logging roads for my model equipment. It is coming along nicely so far.

Reg, You have quite a nice place to work your equipment now. So realistic, guess after seeing your models I should of known the road would be right down to the last detail. Very neat my friend, thanks for sharing, with us.

Some of you guys may enjoy this. A little side project I am working on for myself using some 1/14 Tamiya semi truck chassis parts and a hand made aluminum body. Not sure what model truck this would be but I am building it to resemble some of the old M&M trucks from the early 60's. Not sure if it will be a logger or another gravel truck. I guess I'll see how it feels when the cab is finished.

Thanks Cory. Yeah the roof took a little fiddling around but it wasn't too bad. I'm either getting better at this or my standards are lower. Some tasks just don't seem that stressful anymore.lol

Thanks guys. Going for the late 50's to mid 60's look on this one. I haven't decided what to do about the wheels. I was planning to make some Bud wheels for it but I kinda like the shiny look too. I might have to buy or make some nice looking modern style wheels for it later on.
