Well after three weeks of temps in the triple digits we finally got some cooler weather. The only problem, well two problems, is that we now had a heavy marine layer for the last week with mist. Also being old I am slow to recover from the heat but starting to feel like doing something again.
Received a very pleasant surprise in the mail today from Nick. I will give it to Jerry the next time I see him. Thanks ever so much Nick.

They have to join and do seven postings inorder to find out how to obtain anything when we do go into production. Hmmm, I think I am getting closer to that magic number, guess I have to find the right thread; although this one has it's moments thus far.

The thread you are looking for is in the Tradezone. Both Jerry and I have been very lazy this last summer. Old age and heat do not mix well. We are just getting back up to speed in doing things. I may even start casting again.

Hello Lee and Jerry!
I will support Nick Ingmar in his effort to encourage You. Beeing an old man myself I know how it feels when the energy falls short. But You are making models, others don´t do, so make a new start again!
Good luck!
Bjorn

Guys keep up the great work.

Nothing new since a while from California?! Hope you are doing well and feels young to show us soon the announced models from summer last year. Nothing more like a drop to motivate you, Jerry and Lee, to go on with your artwork...... Good luck nick ingmar

We are here, all be it moving slowly. Jerry is working on a few pieces and I am playing around with the hydroshrink among other things. As I have said in the past, we are both retired and just don't have the energy of you younger people to do everything we would like to do.

Jerry creates. I experiment. We spent all day Saturday making molds. Sunday was spent demolding and cleaning up the molds. We both are having a love/hate relationship with Hydroshrink.

Love/Hate relationship......I know what you mean. Don't you love it when you spend good money on Hydroshrink and it does not shrink to the projected 50% reduction.....I mean hate it?
What projects are you using hydroshrink for?

We are spending a lot more money on the rubber than the Hydroshrink. We are still on our first quart with a lot left. Jerry doesn't want me to talk about what we are doing, but I will say that we are staying away from anything you are doing. Lets just say we are working the the 30's, 40's and a little 50's. Also there are other vehicles besides cars. ;D As you have found out, Hydroshink is not a quick way to reduce something, but we are finding that after a lot of rework, we are coming up with things that are almost impossible to do in 1/87. Things like fine detailed grill work. Jerry is now getting to play with a project that he has wanted to do for years.

I am having a similar experience with Hydroshrink. It's amazing for shrinking small detail stuff that one couldn't possibly do otherwise, but I am having a lot of issues with warping and ratios of shrinkage when shrinking bigger items.

One has to be very creative when working with Hydroshink. We are building vehicles out of bits and pieces that we get from the process. As it has been said before......Hydroshink is very much a love/hate thing. ;D
