All joking asides, that is pretty cool to be able to produce your own decals Lyle.

I was better at when I did them with some regularity. These turned out okay. Thank you!

Just been a piddlin'. Haven't felt well lately. a small cold and several gout flare-ups. The last one was a doozy! in the joint of my big toe. Ouch. Today is better. Anyway,
The kit comes with some lovely hose material for the underside of the trailer. Feeling frisky with the fall weather, I decided to make some springs to hold the hoses up or down as it may be.
Thanks to a JKim recommendation, iIgot some lead wire in various sizes. I think the .010 works pretty well. A toothpick was too large, so I used a push pin. I love these pins with the T-shaped heads.
Hose:
Materials:
Springs, perhaps a bit over scale,
and mud flaps....

Lyle is getting some AMS on this thing…"Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."

Yeah, I just took something to make it go away.
