Another Blast from the Past. "Catapult Mounts for Models"

 Another article from Scale Modeler magazine.   I remember buying my first copy on the way home from High School.  It was my freshman year at Osborn High in Detroit.   There was with small family run Pharmacy  on the corner of Joann St & Seven mile.  The druggist was a modeler and carried the magazine. 

  Back to the article.  Boh (Dave Boksanski) and Mike Dario where the premiere model builder on the west coast at this time.  These guy where best friends who loved model.  The article below can be opened in a new tab and enlarged for reading.   Boh at that time would just make it. Having some back ground in model trains this was a simple quick work. Today I can hear people piss and moan about all that work.  Not really, more than likely whipped the catapult in a few hours.  Today with 3d modelling and printing there is no comparison.  But if BOH was still alive he would have one.   Thanks again to Charlie Dunton for digging through his archive of Scale Modeler.   Charlie promised more to come after the holiday. Enjoy this Blast from the past.
