Paint Thinner Transfer

I use a lot of Tamiya paints.
Getting a couple drops of primer out of the bottle can be a pain.
So I got some Pipettes from Hobby Lobby.  I put a couple rubber bands on my bottle of thinner and one is always ready for some work.

Two sizes, big and small, pretty cheap.
 

Stick the pippette into the bottle and withdraw a few drops, put it into the paint and return the rest to the bottle.  More control than an eyedropper, the shaft is smaller.

BTTF III

DeLorean on rails.
Those wheels are great.
The underside is pretty good.
The top is very nice, with the tubes on the front hood.
Standard DeLorean in blue and Back to the Future III in silver.
First car and #3 car side by side.
Hot Wheels covers this pretty well, I think.
On the rails.  Does not fit HO track exactly.
But close enough.
Marty and Doc inspect the car.
Good car.

Back to the Future III

The time machine.
From the movie Back to the Future III.
As the movie series progressed they changed up the car a little.
In this version they went back to the Old West.
And the car rode on train tracks.
So it had train wheels.
Pretty cool.
Other parts were changed too and with the old tech at the time some parts were large!
This is a very well done model.

Incident at the Bike Shop

A car pulls up in front of a bicycle shop.
Does not look like they have a bike rack.
Someone enters the bike shop.
Loud voices from inside.
Is that gunshots?

A panicked 911 call brings an ambulance.

The medics exit the ambulance.

More ambulances and police arrive.

The bomb squad shows up also.

More police and fire apparatus show up.

Even a small incident can require a lot of people and a number of vehicles will respond.
