One arm
Posted by sandman44 on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 2:25 PM

Hey folks, just wondering if there is anyone else out there building kits with a single arm. I'd like to know a little about your techniques, etc.

Best,

Dave

A guy in my neighbourhood rides competition bicycles (endurance) and he's also a very handy motorcycle mechanic.  He's worked on my bike before, as good as any mechanic I've used.  I cant imagine what it would be like to make a kit with one hand.  I tried to visualise making a kit with one hand tied behind my back, and couldnt.  There are a lot of vices, clamps, magic hands, and devices on the market that would come in handy.

James Sharpe is president of the George Armstrong Custer Gin Drinking and Modeling chapter of IPMS-USA which is headquartered in McKinney, TX and has but one arm.     James is perhaps the best armor modeler I've ever met and a perennial contender for top armor honors at the IPMS-USA Nats.

I'm one handed (my whole right side is gone do to a stroke) I'd be glad to help as much as I can which isn't much. Give me some time to get over the shock. Wow!

Please check your email.
