After about 7 months I decided to do a little work on the beacon. I received the repro visors from Steve a couple of months ago. :drool: I decided to prime them, and try them on. :good:

I don't like it one bit. :hurl:

Oh, the visors look marvelous. I just much prefer the original glass patio table. :yes:

Really nice collection of stuff you've got there! But I have to ask-What's the thing with the orange dome marked FIRE and the crank handle, and is that an ejection seat in the second picture?
I'm so old I remember when the word "mother" only had one meaning!!!
