Beautiful work!

I've always enjoyed scale modeling, whether static or flying.

Here's a couple more from the Jet Ranger:

Way cool, but you're totally in a different league than me friend, RC's are like collecting guns in terms of money!
Love the fire extinguisher!
 
..BTW how did all the things I like become "vintage"...
Possibly because many of US are "vintage" as well?

What really shocked me was looking for one of the wall mounted ones. I saw the odd pot metal modern one, but one store had a gen-u-wine Coca-Cola (?) one, and they wanted something like $50 for it :eek:
 
My wife and I were at the beach near dusk a few days ago, when we saw an eagle that looked like he had his talons caught on something. It turned out he was trying to get airborne with a raccoon carcass! He flew away without it, but circled around for another try. I hope he eventually went home with it.

These things were everywhere when I was a kid.
The kitchen for cans in the house, the garage for oil cans.
Now they are hard to find and collectible :(

I remember when they were free in all the stores.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

Today is the Holocaust Remembrance Day in the USA.

One of the places of Nazi horror I'll always remember visiting was Mauthausen. The staff at the camp had numerous ways to torture and kill inmates, including being worked to death in the granite quarry.

The rock quarry in Mauthausen concentration camp was at the base of the "Stairs of Death". Starving prisoners were forced to carry roughly-hewn blocks of stone – often weighing as much as 110 pounds up the 186 stairs.

Quite a few years ago, the Arizona Capitol museum in Phoenix had a display that commemorated the sinking of the battleship U.S.S. Arizona during the Japanese sneak attack on Dec. 7, 1941.

Among the items in the display was the complete silver service of the ship that was recovered from it. It was very ornate, and as I recall, it was purchased when the ship was launched by donations from Arizona citizens.

An interesting artifact from a pivotal time in our history.
