Happy birthday, my friend! Here's to hoping you get spoiled today!
Happy birthday Dean!

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! And for your generous compliments. Thanks for taking the time to post something.
My wife is giving me a party today. Family and friends will be attending, so we will be out back firing up the Green Egg barbecue pit, swimming, drinking and playing music…probably too loud for the neighbors! But hey, some neighbors will be here too.
So I have a long festive day ahead, wish you all could join me.

Thank you Shota!Dear Dean, Happy Birthday
I wish you all the best and a happiness
Boy, you called it! To my surprise…my wife and kids all went in together and bought me a resin printer, wash and cure machine, and some water based resin! Woohoo!Wow Dean, what a great model! Thanks for allowing us to come along for the ride - pun intended. Also wishing you a vey happy birthday! Hmmm, is there a new birthday present that you will also be sharing with us???
There is a small learning curve ahead, printer software to download and learn, etc. But I already use a 3D cad software that I can export STL files from. So the modeling part is a given, I just have to take that file and turn it into a resin part. So I’m excited about that. Perhaps cutting out those wooden window frames for my ship is a thing of the past? Maybe I will print them since they have to be painted.

Neat decalling.
I notice that you didn’t mention any setting solutions such as Micro Set and Micro Sol. Do you use them at all?
Your results could scarcely be improved but the solutions might make life easier for you.

Wow Dean! Your family really loves you! This opens up a ton of possibilities. Don't think for a moment, however, that this is going to let you off the hook for hand carving all those great boo ... er ... figures. 
Edit - oops!
my apologies. I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning. I had just been looking at @dockattner 's carvings and got confused about where I was. Nevertheless - you're going to have fun with your new toy!sucks getting old

What a great gift Dean! I'm looking forward to seeing some of your designs as you get familiar with the machine.
Thanks Herman.
Thank you, my son Peter had the idea to get it for me. He knows me very well.
I am still doing carvings by hand on my NL ship. But now I can print cannons and other things like that.

Thank you Daniel.
I use micro sol and micro set on all my decals. The provided decals in this kit are very thick, and micro sol only made them stick better, other than that I don’t think it phased them.
I foresee making models of parts for the P-38 Lightning cockpit so I can scratch build that. Should be a fun project.
