Now, I think Jeff, you're mentioning on our last build night. Do you you saw the map. That's incredible. Absolutely incredible. It it was on
1 of the... It's on the the Facebook group for the the the Na. And Think Jeff Jeff Her posted it and what I... It's... First of all it's a huge building that they're gonna have it in. Mh. But secondly, holy macro, there's a lot of vendors coming into this thing. Yeah. This is gonna be you... I I think as you described it, the world's greatest a hobby shop for 4 days. Yep. Well world's largest hobby shop for 4 days. That's the way they they describe it. So, yeah, There'll be a lot of
fun. I... That reminds me. I gotta get my list to Frank. There's a couple of things. Can you have a list? Okay. List. The there there is... It's just actually only 1 thing. It's the Alicia grant Alicia grandfather. Served in the war He was a doctor he worked with ban. And he was in a crash of a, of a b 24 a Gander.
And they actually were what the dough, you know, they recovered his body just after the crash, but they actually recently dove down there again and I think had ward used the Has molding, It's called riders of the storm, and it's actually an aircraft from the same squadron. So if I see it, I want... I wanna frank to pick it up. It's not too unreasonable and I can easily adapt it. Because got everything it's exactly that squad and exactly that aircraft. Now you gave me a
nice b 24 2. So if I can, I can always also adapt that as well, but This 1 apparently has got all the goodies 1 needs and it builds up quite well apparently? So I'd like to do that as a membership build for Grandfather. So it's 1 of those ones that if it's a good deal if I up upon it, then I'll get it. A I'm not like us gonna pay, you know, crazy prices and all that. Like, the 5 bucks or something that's crazy for. It's fine crazy. Well, I think it goes for over... It

Look at that. Nice. Very nice. I can't imagine the insurance on that. It's funny. You know, I've going to Facebook. I think we talked about this before. But Facebook, the Facebook algorithm constantly updates depending on what you look at. On marketplace. And so I was with babysitting city my
grandson and he loves cars. And so we were looking at various... As he calls them, fancy cars. Cool on Facebook on Facebook marketplace. So we were clicking on some of these things... And all of a sudden, I'm getting all these cars on Facebook marketplace coming up, and they're all like, crazy expensive. Cars. Someone just actually selling... I don't even know what camera remember what it was, but they're selling this thing, and it looks amazing. For 1200000.0 on Facebook market.

Same thing. Yeah. Auto dot com, but it's all land rover. They're showing me. So I don't remember how... Doing searches on that, but obviously, I did or I mentioned it at some point. Yeah. It's probably they're just following the show. Maybe. Maybe. Exactly. Okay. Let's talk about another cool guy. Our

So make sure you check out all the exciting new things, and don't forget to see them at Nat.
Remember that's called tv v man shop dot com and call tv v man dot com. And tell them the scale model podcast sent you. Okay. What's on the bench? I haven't had much time, but I'm getting... I'm getting there. You know I'm finding, working on the Cmo has really shown me, you know, really break break things down into small projects. You know, kinda focus on, you know, a little bit like that. And it's it... It's working. So I got the turret put together, got them painted the blast bags and
the gray put on. The only thing I've left off are the little tiny angie aircraft guns because they're a little bit too fragile. I'll wait till I got the turn mounted and all that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've got 2 out of the 3 decks on. Technically, 1. I've got a... I've I've dry fitted the other 1. And I've gotta glue it now, the the center 1. And then when I get the other third 1 on, then going on will be the aftermarket wood deck. And then I can put on all the other other little bits that I've
painted. So it It is it is coming along. Quite What are plans for... Like, how do you plan on gluing the wood deck down? And I... Is there a way? Some people some people have said super gl. Some people have said regular glue. I believe Harold from our club said regular white glue. I'm not sure. Apparently, it is that he. I've seen some... A lot of Youtube videos are saying you super clue. C gl. So... There's also stuff like hobby tech and such contact cement that... Yeah.
That's kinda what I was wondering. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna do some research on that before I put on. So first time I've done it. Yeah. So, yeah, If you're gonna go why not start big. At least it didn't cost me a ton of. I screw it up. And if I do... If I do screw it up, the actual deck itself, the plastic has wood the wood thing engraved, and I could. But I'm trying to do this save me a ton of masking. Because it's Yeah. I I don't think it'll look nicer or too. Yeah. I think it
will too. So I know It's it it it is it is coming along. It's apparently simple build actually, which reflects the time it was built. Like, I'm sure the new... What is it? The border or the brand new, who's made the someone's made a brand new 1 03:50. I think it was... Well, then there's a 200 scale 1 as well... Yeah. And they're both highly complex and a lot more you know, but that's that's too much
for me. I I wouldn't I couldn't justify it, and I wouldn't do I wouldn't do a a good enough job to justify the price. On. Yeah... For this 1, I'm enjoying. And since are kind of the epitome of sub assemblies. Yeah. Exactly. Now 1 thing I have realized I can see why people like buying the aftermarket barrels. Because, you know, the plastic 1 0 right, but you do notice that that the caps
on, you know, there's no hollow thing. So you either have to paint or do something to put, like there's a cap on it. Yeah where I... So I can see that. So, you know, I have a feeling probably when I build the the fletcher. I'm probably gonna look at... I don't think it came with brass barrels, but I might look at that for the 5 inch guns. Just I think it does make enough enough of a, of a difference. So... Yeah. Doing
that. And then I was bad again, the bra deal sale I can't even say I went in for paint. Because I didn't... I didn't buy any paint. So It been on my... It was on the shelf, and it was still there when it went to 20 percent off. So I bought a Cut, Brian Lane Mark 1 spit fire and 01:30 second scale. I bought out because of course, I saw Terry when he he brought his a couple of years back to Heritage Khan, and it is an absolutely beautiful kits got a resin of the pilot resin figure.
The instructions are absolutely gorgeous. I'm gonna do an inbox review at some point. So I bought that. We also had a partially started match box 01:30 second L kit. That's the 1 like Jet built a wall back. Yep. Partially started 20 bucks, and it's in pretty good shape. Can't go wrong. It's 1 of those wanted when I was a kid I saw that, and I drilled over in the shop window a few times. And then something new for me, off there off their red red red tag sale or whatever,
where you... If you buy 1 thing, you get 10 percent 2 things you get 20 all the way up to 5 things. They had a Tam 01:12 Suzuki rg g 02:50 motorcycle. I I've never built a motorcycle kit. And it's me One's do fast. So this was a good deal. I got it for 50 percent off, bought a couple other dia and terrain stuff for the other 4 items. So, yeah. So that'll that that that'll be interesting. And then, of course, coming soon. Where the hell am I gonna put all these?
Between that and the Bentley, and, yeah. Exactly. So we... We'll you'll you'll have to stay tuned and find out. Yeah. Jeff. What about you, sir? Well, I'd say, as I noted in the notes it's summer, and I've done a lot... There's a lot of stuff being done outside and working on the house and this that the other in babysitting sitting. That's another thing too. I too went to Brook. I can't remember. I don't remember if we talked about this at the show, the last show or whether we did it
during our build night. Probably we did We did it during our build night. Yeah. But I did... III applied the stewart to the stewart approach to bringing down the discount or raising the discount percentage. Bought a whole bunch of little crap, and then I bought myself a near fit. X 01:48 scale bucket of your kit. Beautiful. New berry and really nice kit. And it's lot of bets to it. Now we should We
should also point how you... Not only did you go in the store and do that, but you also had your lovely wife and your youngest daughter with you. Yes. Just because I was leaving you were pulling in... And we almost did each other in the parking lot. Yes. Almost actually. He was supervised though. I was supervised. Although, it was interesting. We went in there. And I was talking to to Brian or to, Richard, Richard. Almost blank on my head there. I talk thinking about my brother.
Almost it's spent a lot time chatting with Richard And as I'm chatting with Richard, my wife and daughter or wandering around the store, looking at everything else and basically talking about God knows sweat. And then Richard mentioned, well, it's nice to meet your family, but I won't mention... I won't let them
know. They haven't discovered yet that there's a bakery just around the corner, and they have the most wonderful muffins and my daughter, literally, the halfway down the store popped your head over the stack of models since said. Muffins. It's almost say there are muffins. Muffin. Here boom, off they went. So Have to remember that when Alicia Alicia is more healthy. Apparently it's a really good bakery. So... Yeah. I heard great things about it. Yeah. But,
anyway, no. That... So that was fun. And... Yeah. I did... I bought the same kind of Ira around bits. They're lowest price things I could find and then drop the drop the discount or raise a discount up to 50 percent off got got the whole batch for less than a hundred bucks canoe. Well, there's some good deals there. Like, they had a bunch of spit fire kits and some other stuff, and I would've taken advantage of it. If I haven't already got so many 48 skilled spit fires I did see a
nice... There's is a special hobby c fury. And even at the 50 percent off, it still would have been around 45 bucks. I just couldn't quite As I told Richard, that was a bridge too far. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Because I was... What was interesting chatting with Richard He did mention that, He's looking forward to being retired doing this for, like, 35 years or something to that
effect. Yep. And we may see him at the Our club has the, in person build nights every Wednesday night, and whom bill Nights the same every Wednesday night. Called gray butts. And he says, I maybe wind up seeing you guys a great. Excellent. Good stuff. Good stuff. Well, I did have the offer when I was in there. I did have an opportunity to meet the brand new owner. Yeah. So the the store has is gonna be changing hands. I'm not gonna say anything else else right now. I'll leave it up up to them
to make an announcement. But the story is going to remain open even after richard's retired, so that's good news. So we're we're wishing the owner good luck. We might get him on the show in the ball. That'd be great. It'd be nice. Yeah. I think it'll be good good to see you know, get get an opinion there. Especially when you're taking over a long established business. Yep. So the sale goes, so if you're local, the sale goes brought sales until the end of the month. So make sure you
take advantage. Get some more details on Facebook or r r hobby dot c a. Yep. Yep. And with respect to what I've actually got on my bench, I'm still working on the the the frog foot this, ukraine... It's not Ukraine Russian. I don't know It's an ancient mold. Right. But it's actually a pretty good mold. I think I talked about that once before. And I'm also getting to the paint stage on the goblin, x f 85 goblin, the little parasite fighter
from the b 36 era. Mh. The most important thing that I did in the last 2 weeks. So so we had a new a new club member expressed interest in joining the group, and he he joined us on their Facebook, or on our Zoom call at last Wednesday night. Mh. And he had he had asked if anybody had an air fix hand page o 400 kit because he wanted to build it as it you. How what a coincidence? And Doesn't
Yeah. Exactly. I said, well, I have 1 with a few parts, Missing because Stuart was kind enough to donate it to my cost when I was working on my hand page. And he said he'd be fine because he's pretty comfortable fabric parts. And then during our conversation and the bill date, I mean, it came up that I had an affinity for a certain type of aircraft. No as, you know, lighter than their vehicles ZIEZ. Yes. Yes. And he said, oh, well I had picked up at a garage sail, a hawk, 1 02:47
scale graft z kit. This plastic kit. I said, well, I've got this 1 200 scale and paper. And he said says, well, would you like a plastic 1? I said, yes, I would. So basically, now I have this massive freaking fox. It's great. It's great. So thanks very much, Kevin. That was a was a very good trade for... I think for both of us. We both came out well on that. I remember when you posted the the box on on Facebook late. It brought back. I remember it now. Remember seeing it in some stores
of that. Thing was massive. So, yes. More z. And it's got lighting in it too, which is interesting. And I didn't I've been... I started doing the research. I didn't realize there were 2 graphs siblings. Yeah. There was the first 1 which was probably the most successful airship. Ever, as far as traveling, but it never carried, you know, much in the way of paying customers because it was
hydro... It was helium. Helium. It was the only 1 they did with helium, and then they came up with a graph 2, which they finished just before the outbreak of World war 2, and it was essentially, it was exactly the same design as the Hindenburg and when the Hindenburg crashed well, so did the graphs up Gotta put it that to that. People people get a bit nervous when they see what what Hydrogen do. Oh. Behold humility. So that's all I've been That's what I've
been doing okay. Well, you've been you've been busy. That's good. But, we, we we we... The fans approve. Sure. Alright. Mister Terry. Yeah. Working on the dread dots. It's pretty much just working on the dread nuts. In the last couple of weeks here in the paint booth, and now I'm kind of I'm pretty happy with how that worked out un mask the experimental orange and white version and surprisingly not surprisingly in a couple places I should have done better.
But dealing with mass skin cuts and things like that, But, overall, very good. Not a whole lot of cleanup to do. Mh. And now I'm I'm doing stuff like the detail bits and, like, the gun med kinda places, things like that. And lining. So I've been doing panel lining for a while now. Just mostly just using the India inc in future because it It's nice, dark and works really well on these kind of things. Right. What yeah. Just gonna say, while the cut the paint up looks amazing and you've got me all
excited about trying that technique. So I'm gonna understand The on the red 1, I did the complementary color technique. And I don't know. I I think the the pictures of made it of show notes if not, I'll make sure you get copies of those. Yeah. Please. So they've been shared on on the Facebook page and... Yeah. The looking good. That it can really, really good. Yeah. It gives a lot of color depth rather than black, which is kinda mud it. It it's It's like cancels out. You know, it's, like
the opposite. So it it cancels out the color and just gives a lot of depth. Right. Very cool. Yeah. So I've been... I I have must have been doing that. A little bit of building on that ph because I wanna do try the same paint techniques on that. Right. Right. Very cool. Alrighty. Very nice. Alright. What we're reading? I'm still reading the same 2 things.
Getting getting through them, clear thinking, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary results by Shane Parish, and a couple of chapters into D day by Martin Go and I am already really enjoying that. Martin's is a really good historical writer. He's got a lot of stuff out there. I don't know where he finds time to write it all, but he does. So highly Highly recommend both of them. Hopefully I'll get caught up, get a few more titles under the belt during during the summer. Jeff?
Yeah. I have been going kinda of crazy as far as I was reading goes. I picked up over at... Oh, is it not dollar store, but Don't tree... No. It's not dollar tree. It's the 1 where... It's just it's like it's like goodwill, but it's not goodwill. Oh, okay. Anyway, anyway, they have books amongst other things. And I I was my daughter loves to go there and buy weird things because they can buy weird things cheap, and you don't
feel guilty it. Mh. So my wife and I went over with her on her to give her a day out, and I wound up buying a whole bunch of books. So I picked up the Johns flood, which is by David Mc, and a American writer, historian pulitzer prize winner for for Truman and 17 70 I think it was... I know he was written a whole bunch of great books and I love his writing.
And I didn't know anything about this. This is Georgetown Pennsylvania, and it was happened in the end of the 18 18 hundreds, when a an artificial damned lake, basically, the damn gave out. And it the only reason the dam had been rebuilt, it had given out before. It was rebuilt because the Carnegie and all the rich guys from various places decided they wanted to go fishing. And so they built a lake. They stocked it. They got rid of the spill way and put a big fish barrier over the
spill way. So nothing could get out of the lake, because they didn't want their expensive fish to go down to the H. Hoops sent. And and and then they had the worst weather in, like, a century, and There was a... It was an earth and dam. The water crust the dam right in the center and washed it completely out. Mh. And you. And you had a tidal wave of roughly 76 feet high, go care down these valleys and take out the town of Johns plus a couple of other smaller settlements on the world.
To 2 2200 people died in a town that was, like, maybe 20000 people to start with. Mh. And it was just a a nightmare, and it's... Anyway, very interesting story, definitely worth reading, highly recommended it, and it's actually not a really long book either. It's a A good quick read. The other 1 I picked up another Ain't another 1 I picked up was the lost city of the Monkey gods, Monkey god, by Douglas Preston, who is, Preston and Child, famous for.
The the relic and various other books that they've written over the years. Anyway, and this was about the the... The use of Lidar technology to uncover a hidden city in the Central American jungles, and I think it was Honduras. Very interesting story as well. And... But it was also... It wasn't just that. It was also the story about about parasitic diseases because he caught 1, and essentially, she... It wasn't just a isis, but it was something essentially that would eventually eat his face off.
Hate when that happens. I know. I don't know. And there's no there's no consistent treatment because it affects everybody differently depending on genetic makeup piece. This is why I don't go down there. It's... And or live anywhere that doesn't get a good hard freeze Yeah. Because things will eat your face off. I'm. Yeah. Exactly. I'll take triggers any day. Yeah. But the the infuriating thing about it is it's 1 of these diseases, and there are a number of parasitic diseases.
That, kill millions and millions of people and name millions of millions of people annually around the world But the drug companies absolutely have no interest in in working up any kind of solutions for them. Exactly. These there's no money in it. They're all poor. They're all poor people that die.
So it's kind of 1 of those kinds of stories that makes you infuriated This guy got all the treat best treatment in the world from the National Institute of health as because they were they were treated as an experimental group, and it was free. Mh. And also because he's a major writer. Yeah. If you you kinda get a little.
Little pissed about that. Yep. Yeah. Anyway, the last 1 I picked up was another 1 called the danger tree, and I picked it up just speak because on the front, it was highly recommended as in gross pros I haven't read in grossing pros too often.
And it's a really en grossing well written beautiful story, of family history, from Newfoundland, about basically the history of Newfoundland, and world war 1, and, because world war 1, there was a a, huge number of guys from Newfoundland who signed up just to get the hell from Newfoundland. And nobody came back. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, very interesting story. It's great time to reading the hammock by the lake. That's what I was doing today.
Very nice. Very good. I always thought in in gross pros was was all your articles for for Rt t and beaver tales. That that doesn't qualify. No okay. This is This is really fun. It's a... It's it's it's sad, fun, interesting, true. It's kinda like you you recognize recognized a lot of these people from families that you'd known, including your own. That kind of rain. Anyway cool. Okay. Recommended. Awesome. Terry. How about you, sir?
Still reading. I'm in, book 2 of Adrian in Tc shards of earth series, 20 percent in, and I think, I... This guy's His wheelhouse is all it Alien, human and unknown. Right. Yep. It's fantastic. Just the the the shards... It's like shards of earth. Is the the title of the first book, and it really is. Human humanity has split into various groups as well. It's not like, doom far future where where they're almost different species by that point. Mh. It... It's not that. It's it's political.
And the aliens are are part of that as well, and it's On I don't know where this is going. III say that with everything because it's it's too early to tell. It's it's already shifting. Very cool. Okay. And then I'm reading the hell, Omni bus. At that time. It's it's a great foot. And trying to catch up on some issues of science and scientific Americans instead of just sitting there playing on the ipad while Yeah eating breakfast or something. Yeah. I
gotta do more more more of that. Too just kinda, you know, just instead of mindless scrolling Facebook or... Yeah. These things to tell people all the time times. Like, well, you don't keep up with this. Exactly. I used to love scientific American. I mean, my dad had a subscription for since the mid sixties. And It's still solid. It's still really it's such a good magazine and and half at least half the articles, I can't quite figure out can't quite figure out what they're talking about
half the time. But but even at that, I still feel smarter at the end of reading it. Yep. Yep. Exactly. Well, I rarely in... I get science as well. And that's a weekly in my Gods. It's just so much material. Yeah. I rarely go in and read the research articles because those are, you know, those are well above, but all the summaries and everything else in the news is is fantastic. And just articles. Yeah. Research papers in something like science can be... If if I'm familiar enough with the field,
I can get something out of it. Otherwise, I'll I'll just go and look at the bits and pieces that I can get out of it. Very Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. I think if we spent less time on social media more time going through some hard hard stuff like that. I think the world would be a much better place Yeah. Okay. Also making the world a much better place Our buddy Sean from Sean's custom model tools. Let's see what he has to say today.
Now we're gonna talk a bit about Sean's custom model tools, 1 of our other sponsors of the scale model podcast. Some very cool things, both 3 d printed and the Goodman super sanding blocks. Let's start with the micro set micro soul D cal set bottle stand. This is purposely designed for the micro scale set and soul. Most models over the years. They've tipped these bottles over. So, this is a very handy thing at 14 95. You can put them both together. They're printed
in blue and red for easy identification. Comes with a black based, and they're actually have little magnets on it. So helps keeps them in place. Definitely a good deal. I use mine the time, and I can well recommend them. Let's talk a bit about those goodman model super sanding blocks. Namely the value pack combo for 28 99. You get the 80 grit, 1 80 grit, 02/23/2406 hundred just an amazing set, just what you need, and you can also...
If you want, you can also get a sanding super sanding block stand it, which also really makes life a little bit easier, helps helps things keep it organized. The other thing too is they have, they have the awesome model tape dispenser for, your various tapes. It's basically A3D printed thing. You put spool of your tape. Got a little razor blade to help cut it, and it's really, really good design. So, yeah, works out really well and yours for 19 95.
So check out these and other amazing deals at Sean's custom model tools dot com, and also on Facebook and tell them that the scale model podcast sent you. Okay. The things we say. Sean's Sean's tape dispenser. Yeah. I got, you know, perform Y service on these yeah. This... I love that experimental dread not. I love that thing. That tape dispenser with the razor blade. It's just... Yeah. Utility blade. You can't you can't beat it. Okay. Edward has their latest info Magazine.
Considering this is this is like a combination magazine and catalog. They do every month. Considering it's free, it's excellent quality. We've covered it before. So they... This time they're talking about Australian Mark 16 spit fires, Icc Red Do. So BF10 nines fall 1 nineties, some articles on the oil cam paying a mustang, a bull, mustang day, aerial war in Ukraine, Russian airports under fire.
So lots of good stuff, and, of course, all the, some pictures always good to see what they're working on. They did mention they are working on p forties, 01:48 scale, so their work continue on that. I know a lot of people are excited about that. Those are all gonna be new tools. Oh, what's the... I don't think you the the model Ta hawk flu. Oh, this one's e. Yeah. Starting on the e. Yeah. But you have to kit bash dash, like, 3 kits to make 1 of those and I forget
what it was. Like, okay or something like that. I'm sure they will. I won't be Served. Yeah. They're they're. Yep. They're they're they're they're pretty good. They're also working on molds for other versions of 0VA6M5A6M7 and a 2 seat A6M2 dash k, as well as molds for the mig 21 f. Both are projects for next year. Zeros will be introduced in the first half of the year and the mig 21 in the second half. So absolutely no need for us to worry about abandoning those those projects.
So, there we go. So, yeah, the p 40 is currently what's the technologist development of the molds is underway as well as minor modifications to the structure. I am assuming the second half of July I will see the first molds. And on e day at the end of temper, the plastic will be available for viewing. At that time, the plastic may not be complete but 3 or 4 screws out of a total of 6. Cool. And November and Tel ford, we might be introduced in the complete kit and selling
it. In prep production form and white in white box is similar to what they did for the mustang at Easter. So again, Wall worth checking his editorial always get every month. A good kinda what they're doing behind the scenes, stuff like that. They have some good articles. If you're a mustang fan. This one's definitely a must download. They they they they they take a ride in some re restored ones, etcetera. Ton of pictures
definitely worth worth worth worth checking out. So that is from edward ward. Okay. And what's the space in miniature? Hey space in miniature, Mike. Does these great. At you a space dot com and you'll get a collection of some of the best reference material for real space subjects that you're gonna ever want. Yeah. And I have been waiting, and looking for research material on the Saturn 5 as I slowly build up the nerve to start building some of my... I have
a couple of saturn five's lying around. Mh. And he he has recently the most recent space and miniature series number 10 is on the Saturn 5. A guide for scale model builders. It's not a history of the wrong rocket. It's not a developmental history. It is purely information for model builders, and it... On, on that on that basis, it score very highly. I highly recommend this. Yeah. It's good stuff. It's really good stuff, and it's really helpful. Great pictures, color pictures
in the Pdf version that I've got. Now I understand the a paper version if you buy that, it the pictures are black and white. Mh. But, I would just get the Pdf version myself because then I can do my little finger finger zoom in and see what exactly what I wanna see. It's it's just a Yep. Really good publication and a publication. If you're interested in, building a model of a Saturn 5. This is what you wanna get.
Very cool. I should point out our good friends of C Tv man have it available for pre order. For the book for 12 99 Us. You can reorder But so like, basically, I I went online Paypal, like, Boom had the entertainment within 5 minutes. Yeah Exactly. Exactly. I'm gonna I'm gonna put up their link as well, and there it is new Sim. Yep. So lots of stuff happening and what they're... And what they're working on. So very, very cool. Okay. You just don't realize.
Until you'll really... I mean, obviously, at at some level you do, but you just... It's amazing the complexity of these machines. Call, the Saturn 5, the most complex machine ever devised by man. Absolutely incredible that they could come up with this within. Mh. Basically 10 years. Yeah. Just amazing. You throw enough money at anything. You know? I am not sure. You know, not everybody can do that. I mean, nothing no they built it and, yeah, I forget what portion of the Us Gdp, the space program
was at the time. So you had... You built that knowledge quickly from... Essentially, from the end of world war too. Yeah. Yep. Within 20 years, they were getting ready to put men in orbit. Yeah. I know. It's absolutely. It wasn't. Yeah. And and, you know, to people who complain about the cost. Well, that's a lot cheaper than a nuclear war. So I think this is so bad. This is true. Something useful.
Alright yeah. Terry. What about you? Yeah. Jeff's mention of Douglas Preston book reminded me of Alfred Lynn. Who was a national geographic explorer in a couple series where he went in essentially into the bush around the world with a drone mounted Lidar system. And looking for ancient civilizations settlements, that kind of stuff. And between between the the the space mounted and stuff, which you can see large stuff and his the can see small stuff. They found all kinds of stuff. And, like.
Central America, South America, it's now thought finding all these settlements that there were as many people there as were in Europe at any given time before the Spanish arrived and, you know, disease wiped everybody out. Yeah. Yeah. And I see national geographic has 3 4 full episodes here the... There's more than that. I don't know where you can find them all, but there's some on Youtube. It's well worth watching. Yep. I'm just looking you sent here. He lost chunk of his leg
in a motorcycle accident. And so he's doing all of this stuff with a pros prestigious as well. Oh, wow. And he is just He's just relentless. He's fantastic. This is amazing he meet are amazing. And in Honduras... I think it was Honduras. Because all the drugs and everything else are It was... Yeah. It was honduras. It just... I just didn't wanna... I wasn't... I wanna be absolutely sure of it. But, definitely, that's the that's the area. And it's the whole...
The whole place is full. It's full cities. So and an Army sent, they escorted his team into there as well. And then the gut Army guys on their off time are helping with the digs. Yeah. Super involved with it. And Well, he's hopefully helping to to bring this this culture of learning their the the the, their ancestors even more. Now that they know what to look for.
They're finding these houses that were, like, you know, here, in my town, the Rich guys from Chicago would come out here in the summertime because Chicago was just well trained. It's like... And that's these houses were there too. They looked like summer homes of wealthy people that we get out of the cities. During the tough parts of the year, and then, at least that's the 1 that he found there, but literally around the world. I now I now know what I'm gonna
be washing the next little while. Well, look at look at how long the first the first episode is. Your how hours. No. The first 1 is 4 and a 4 and a half hour. So that's 4... Yeah. I didn't even open. I just found the link. I think it's just lost all of them. So, yeah 10 1. Also, there's it. Yeah. Mega episode. It mega the whole of season 1 maybe. Cool. That could be. Yeah. That's yeah I'm finding more of stone... They're still finding more of stone. You had me at lost cities.
Exactly. Yeah He's he's great. I hope they do more with them. I'll have to check to see if they've done more. Very cool. K, Craig. Yeah. Alrighty. Sometime for summer set up your your monitor in front of your your build station there and and and watch something... A away you go. Educational and then lose yourself watching it, and none nonstop and not building your model building. Yeah. That's the problem. That's my problem and exactly.
