Anyway, I finally put the Watchadoo on my Poljot Okeah.  I tried a Q&D pic, and the @#$% camera batteries are dead...it just isn't my day!  The bracelet turned this watch from a hangar queen to a must wear!  I love these bracelets!

Here is the stock pic from the vendor.  I bought the "Sturmanskie" version of the Okeah, I liked it better though the denizens of the WUS Russian forum prefer the original.  Different strokes :P

Very nice, Griff!

Thanks Ken!
I love Pinewood Derby season and am a bit of a fanatic.  Last year my older son won both the Pack race and the District race for his last year.  Now he is a Boy Scout and can't race anymore, but my younger son still has 2 years left!  There is a Dad's race too, supposedly to get the dads to build their own car and let the boys do most of the work on theirs, yeah right, LOL
Anyway, I build models for the Dad's race, this year I am moving away from classic Indy cars and doing a Formula 1, a 1961 Ferrari 156 "Sharknose".  The cutting is done, now hours and hours of Dremel time to get it to look like this:

Cheers,

P.S.  Our pack is running the District race at the local mall this year too, guess who is in charge...

We need both progress pictures and completed project!
