Nice! Sci-fi ideas always has a source in reality.

Robert, ah'm not sure about that there brandy but ah sure could make a nice mint julep with that there Tennessee suppin' whisky.

That is an impressive photo, Dolf. I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it. Thanks for sharing, maybe you do a build from Godzilla?

Thanks everyone for your perspective on time travel. Also David-Leigh for the lead on the book Weapons of Choice, I went ahead and downloaded a copy on my Kindle. $2.99. Also noticed another book by the same author called Designated Target, more akin to what happened in Final Countdown. In this case right before the battle of Midway, where even the enemy have access to modern weapons, and the knowledge of history as well and now adjust their strategies to counter the Allies. That sounds like a good one.

The movie does opens a lot of thoughts and conjectures as well as insight about time travel, dimensions, if there is a similar world just like ours that exist but in a different dimension as demonstrated in a Star Trek episode. Which at the time was pure science fiction, or was it? Think about it, in 1965 all the gizmos, Star Ships and stories all from fiction, yet the Space Shuttle was already on the drawing board, the communication devices well look at our cell phones, androids, iphones, Tri -corder again tablets no longer fiction but now a part of everyday life, and how about the Transporter, wouldn't that be neat, well they have been developing such a device and still not quite able to teleport biological matter, still such technology is still in it's infancy what was considered science fiction at one time. Just go back 100 years and see how most people traveled by train and boats. Aviation was still in it's infancy and growing rapidly but still unreliable. Roadways were mostly dirt roads. The interstates wont be around for another 20 years. What a difference a century makes. I'm telling you Gene Roddenberry had some foresight, amazing man, also a Navy man how about that. Kind of makes sense the Star Ship Enterprise.

For those interested in an update and some out of the box real information about the current capabilities on this planet concerning time travel, portals, and all this type of technology I would highly recommend to watch Gaia TV series "Cosmic Disclosure", if you can afford paying a subscription. If you can't, just like me, here is a link for the 1st episode of Season 12, where the main topic is exactly what we have been discussing on this thread: time travel:

By default the subtitles will show up in Portuguese, but you can deactivate them on the Settings.

Sadly these already existing technologies are no sci-fi, they do exist already but are only available for a few from the "elites", and not for the general public. If they were, the pharma industry would collapse and go bankrupt... wars would end and the military-industrial-complex would collapse and go bankrupt... money would no longer be necessary, hence the banksters would go bankrupt...

You see, these few are the most powerful "elites" in this world, so they will do whatever they can to keep us, common mortals, busy with fake news, wars, famine, misery and dying from diseases for which cures already exist... As long as we don't wake up!

Cheers!

Well, you hit a nerve with the time travel issue, Chuck. Back to the the plastic, these two look as though you are in for some fun at the bench. I've always loved line drawings/profiles of aircraft and those Zeros are beautifully done.

Outstanding set, Ray!

'Dolf, I had a suspicion that you couldn't handle that double-barreled shotgun at that tender age, but I wasn't sure so I wasn't gonna comment. You do look very business-like in the photo! I'm with you - no interest in having critters like that, big or small. But they're somewhat interesting to learn about.

Go Chuck, GO!
