Painters touch-up this Moxie billboard:
As always your work is awesome!!! Would you be willing to do a how to thread on your station that you just built I think that is one fine piece of work!! [bow]
Extremely creative, as usual.
Just out of curiosity, when are you gonna tear this one down and start a new on to thrill us with?[%-)]
I was kidding. But the Feb MR has a layout featured that the followup meet the author said he tore down and had moved and was hard at work on a new layout!..My oh my, and all before his finest hour had been published.
Ah, yes, but you have been published!
Bob, that first picture is just beautifully spectacular…
The rest are just spectacular.
Cant wait to see what you do with your ‘den’ , hopefully lots of progress pics this time around.
Have fun & be safe
Karl.
I love the detail. Every time I get a section about done, I look at your pics and am reminded that there is more detail to add. I am learning that is a fun part of the hobby. I can go down and work for 5 minutes and add a little something, do something else and come back and see something else to add. I recently added blowing curtains to an open window in a house, what a blast.
On a completely different note, your lighting has improved greatly. Congrats.
Also, have you done anything to that Climax A to make it run better. I just sent one to Ron LaFever, but at $100 a pop, I might do it on my own next time.
Good stuff Bob!
Drink Moxie!

After adjusting the flywheel (added shim to remove preload) and lots of lube, the climax is running great.

Phil, Only a few people on the West coast have ever heard of Moxie. I guess it was only popular East of the Mississippi.
Moxie is the State of Maine official drink, invented in Turner Maine, tastes like turpintine LOL actually started as a medicine.
Mine too.
My dad likens Moxie to Vicks Formula 44, but I love the stuff. There aren’t many places that you can get it outside of Maine, even though it’s made in Georgia. They started making it in Maine but Coca Cola bought them out and moved the operation to GA. I understand that at one time the drink was very popular, even more so then Coke or Pepsi in many places. Now, it’s more of a novelty. I get it as often as I can, but the closest place that carries it is in Cinncinatti and I live around Indianapolis. Good thing I have lots of relatives in Maine. They know what to get me for Christmas!
