Mine gets backed up to a USB drive twice a week, and once in a while I back it up to a memory st6ick and put it in a distant place.

Mend your ways, grasshoppa! If you like I'll send you a blank access file set up like mine, Lyle, since you said they were similar.

Thanks, John, but it has been recreated. Similar, yes. I had a cheap 7-port USB hub (second one) that I’m blaming. I was in the dB and started getting hard I/o errors. I may yet re order the stash . . . Again. I did have an Excel file that had most of the kits, but not all the fields...so I do data entry, too.

I should really do some sort of spreadsheet to catalogue my stash of 20...

When you get our age, twenty will seem like a lot!

Here's what's still on my workbench after finishing the last seven models. I forgot to post these earlier when I did the first "What's on the bench?"

More details in my Manufacturing Thread.

A CMK resin 1/48 A-3 fuel trailer. A real PE fest. I used Humbrol 66 Olive Drab, sure looks dark. But weren't the ground vehicles painted with a darker OD than airplanes?

Working on resin seats.

From Sunday afternoon.

Man those will be nice!

I think that is the one thing that I will lament with Squadron’s closing- the loss of all of their resin and vacuform aircraft AM products. They were a great enhancement and value for the money.

I agree! The True Details line is a huge loss.
