About

My name is Randy Luhman.  I’m 66 and live in the south central US.  I started this blog to have a spot where I could document some of the things that I do with my hobbies and to post on things that interest me.

Some of my favorite things are scale modeling, rocketry, science, computer programming, auto racing, football, and cooking.

In the beginning years of having this blog I’d been very lax with my posting.  Lots of things going on at work and life.  I’m now retired and have more time to pop in and drop an occasional post.  Most of my posts the last few years have been about my scale modeling.  Since retiring I’ve had a lot more time to go back to my most favorite hobby.  It’s about time, since over the years when I wasn’t building I was still buying.  I’ve got a closet full of kits that I’m just now beginning to make a dent in.

I hope you find the posts on this site interesting and enjoyable.

    P. S. I am an astrophysicist and I discovered tht I taught stellar evolution to the guy who owns Horizon Models! 🙂

    1. Sorry I didn’t notice your comment before now. Thanks for finding me. Cool link with Horizon Models owner. If you talk to him, tell him that we modelers are all waiting with baited breath for a Gemini Titan model from his company. They do good work and I really like their kits.

      1. I was about to start the Revell 1/24 Gemini when I realised that I id dnot have the interior details kit. Seems no-one has it anymore. Do you have any ideas where I might be able to get one? thanks!

      2. If you are talking about the LVM detail set, they stopped all production a few years ago. I’ve heard of a few people finding one pop up occasionally on E-bay, but they are usually pretty expensive. You could also search Shapeways and see if someone has a 3D printed interior available. It will probably be fairly expensive as well. You could also try scratch building some interior bits. I haven’t looked lately but you could search ARC Forums to see if someone else has done a scratch built interior. The web site is http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/forum/202-real-space-modeling/. There are a bunch of very talented modelers there. Good luck.
