Fujimi 1/24 sccle Toyota MR2 Plastic Model Kit

I bought and started building this kit over 25 years ago.  It's been sitting in the garage.  Brought it back into the house...

I had a 1987 MR2 (Red) and put almost 100,000 miles on it before it got sold on.  It was a great car...  I had spray painted the model's body red (it came molded in white).  The glue in the box is new (bought it recently thinking of continuing  the build...).



Looks like I painted a few other pieces Red, Blue & Yellow on the "trees"...

The "glass' & stickers...

Fujimi did some pretty detailed packaging, including printing on the inside of the box.  Very Japanese...



Garage Organizing - part 41 -- putting stuff in the Kennedy tool box next to the band saw...



The tool box that I put next to the band saw is empty.  First, I had to vacuum out the interior of all the drawers/compartments.  This is the very bottom drawer, after vacuuming (forgot to take a "before" picture).

This is the second to the bottom drawer, before vacuuming...
After...

A couple of the smaller drawers, before vacuuming.

Top compartment before...

After...

I moved only Plomb tools into this tool box.  On the right is one of the shallow smaller drawers...

Another shallow drawer on the RH side...

Second to the bottom drawer...

Deeper bottom most drawer...

For now, storing miscellaneous stuff in the top compartment.  Since another tool box sits on top of this one, the top compartment will not be easily accessible so storing this kind of stuff is better than storing tools in it...


Pretty much full...

Tuesday, May 26, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

Less busy on the beach than over the weekend but still quite a few people on the sand.  Most lifeguard stations appear to be manned...  (you can tell from a distance by noting if the flag is flying or not).

The main station at the pier was not flying a flag...

Looking north.  Being a Tuesday, the bike path is not too crowded at lunch time & parking lot is closed.

Parking lots closure blockade on Manhattan Beach Blvd. as it ends at the pier...

Looking south towards PV along the bike path...  If you keep going on the bike path, it ends at the foot of PV.

Pier still closed...

People on the sand but somewhat spread out...

Garage Organizing - part 40 -- putting stuff in the Kennedy tackle box near the garage entrance...

Started putting small miscellaneous items in the Kennedy tackle box that lives near the entrance to the garage (under the table saw).
The LH side of the top drawer has a removable tray with more small compartments under it.  These little compartments are ideal for storing miscellaneous small hardware items.



The bottom drawer of the tackle box is deeper and has just these three compartments.

For now, I put these containers of hardware in the drawer but it's not idea.  I'll move them somewhere else later & better use this space for more appropriate items...
