What to Build Next
It is about -20 out in the garage, so I grab the box closest to the door, reach in, grab the kit on top, and run back into the house where it is warm.
The next build will be: Semroc Constellation X-Kit! |

Nope. Too cold for the 1/10 scale o-rings! The Semroc Connie is a good little kit. I enjoyed building mine.

The Michigan U.P. had temps below -30°F ACTUAL a couple days ago.
One more reason I avoid the Upper Peninsula like it has a Bubonic Plague/Smallpox/Ebola hybrid disease.

I took a motorcycle trip around the Canada side of Superior in 2006. We were down around Sault Ste. Marie heading north toward WaWa when I first encountered winds off the lake. My bike's temp gauge went from high 80's down to high 30's in JUNE! Holy cow! I can't imagine living year round in the UP or on the Canada side of that giant icebox!

I have absolutely no use for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Wayyyyyy too much wilderness. I have only been past St. Ignace (just across Mackinac bridge) once in the past 40 years. Newberry in 1981 for a cousins graduation party. Never further than that, and that was PLENTY. Wilderness and Prisons that don't have enough rioting.

Wow, that's down right nippy! Seriously, at those temps does the plastic kit bag have a tendency to want to crack and break? How about decals stored at those temps? Does it hurt/damage anything? We have some chilly temps in the south at times, though nothing approaching that (though I think our record here in Augusta, GA is -1, set in the mid-80s). Our biggest problem here in un-climate controlled areas is humidity. Boy, do we have humidity!! Earl

I hope it doesn't because that is where I have to keep them. I let it warm up to room overnight. The Semroc kits are all in the more flexible older style plastic bags. I have not handled one of the newer Estes still plastic bags when it is hyper cold to know if they fall apart/tear/shatter. Old decals, I have sprayed some with Decal Bonder before using them after learning the hard way on an old kit that they can tend to fall apart. (Motors are All in the house under temperature control). |
