When to the Strong museum of play in Rochester and saw this curious little model in one of the diaplays. Thought you guys would find it interesting. I didn't know where else to put it

Very interesting, I've seen photos of this aircraft, but not a model.
Nice.

Modified version of the F-100 Super Saber. Trumpeter put out a 1/72 scale F-107 a few years back that I picked up. Haven't built it yet but it looks like a nice kit

I just got a new cutting matt. Not the big ones we all know and love, but a purpose made one for cutting shapes and designs. A friend has one and I am impressed. They make 4 different ones, I have the "B" version. The guidelines are slightly recessed to allow your blade to track accurately. Web site here: Fullscreen Image

That cutting mat looks a lot like a HUMV.
Yeah...very much so...

It is, I included the Hummer as an example of a use, it is from their sales literature. 
They offer 3 other types for everything from really large radius curves to things like prop spirals. It is one of those things until you have one you don't realize how useful it really is!
My friend that had it was using the one I have to make tape masks for digital camo schemes for Russian jets. But he also made all his spinner spirals with it.
The other common use he puts it to is the small diameter circles in the corners make for excellent wheel masks!

....sigh, more stuff to buy. Nice one Robert. Was on their website briefly but couldn't find prices. A shufti on eBay showed prices of the mats to be between $49-$52CAN. I do like the rigging wire as well

They also seemed to have some really nice scale chain, but I can't find anywhere to order it yet. I could not order it direct from them either and got it on eBay for about 30USD.
