From dreams

I soaked the stick-on label off the box, ironed it out, ran it through the scanner, and that over there is the result.

No, not really.

There was a time a few years back where for several nights over a period of several months I dreamt about an elusive hobby shop. Each dream went something like this: I'd get a call in the middle of the night from a friend telling me the hobby shop was open from 2:17 am to 3:32 am, or some such crazy time, and to get over there quick. I'd jump in my car and race there. In each dream it'd be in a different location. Different city, different area, different store architecture. I'd get there and there'd always be a different organization to each store and I'd spend sometime looking around, but there'd always be a section with tons and tons of plastic spacecraft kits. Kits from companies that didn't exist of spacecraft that didn't exist. I'd always wake up while browsing those kits. Spacecraft kits? I don't know why, but it gave me the idea for fictional HO scale building kits that could exist in some alternate timeline. Calling Dr. Freud :-)

Hobby shop find

It was raining cats and dogs today so I decided to pull the cover off the time machine and go for a spin. I didn't go anywhere too contradictory, just dialled in a first variation on '77, and wound up finding a hobby shop with some interesting garage kits on the resale table. I couldn't leave this one there. Hopefully it won't cause a rip in the space-time continuum on my coffee table - they can be tough to clean-up :-)

Kit No. 5977

A kit for summer?

Since the model was built in 2014, I didn't need to crank the time machine up to full power, I merely left it in idle to shift through alternative universes on its own while I sat back with a cold drink.  

A Machine Shop boxing found ....

... while I was cleaning out the Time Machine's trunk. I must have had the thing set to Alternative Universe when I picked this up.

Time travel is weird :-)
