Great work on that Spitfire!

Thanks! Looks great John

What paint did you use for the grey? Tamiya?

Nice looking Corsair😀

Very Nice😀 I saw that kit. I thought about getting, but the specter of all those dots scared me off. You really nailed it! Well done😀.

Very nice Work!

Some odd items today...... First; a couple of track sets from Friulmodel From Archer Fine Transfers; ART8810 Surface details Fabric Weave Texture. For an upcoming project. I don't know the current status of Archer .I hope someone restarts their product line. Pretty cool stuff. My Hobby boss 1/16 38 (t) has a featureless shell catch bag. I hope this will fix that. Next; another Oldie from Tamiya. Their M3 Grant MkI (35041) This is a 2013 re-boxing of a kit that dates back to 1974 I know this kit has its problems, but really it doesn't look that bad. And it probably will build up quickly. Also, a set of tiny magnets bought off of Amazon. 100 2mm x 1mm round, flat disc magnets. Last a hobby knife from DSPIAE AK-DKO2 NARROW BLADE HOBBY KNIFE. These things are very nice. Much nicer than the Knock-off x-acto type handles I've been using....(I'll still use the old ones however, because I have a huge supply of #11 blades.) Well, that's all for now. I have a couple of things on the way from overseas . a Plaza Japan order has been held up a week because of their OBON holiday...but that's fine. Again, I hope someone finds this post useful😀

Great to see, Thanks😀

I have been waiting MONTHS for this one!!😀 From Andys's Hobby Headquartes, it's his new 1/16 scale M3/M3A1 US Halftrack (AHHQ-010). Ever since he Announced this thing I knew I would get this one! Very excited, I haven't even opened the box yet😀 Definitely going to be a fun build . Had a look in the box ......lots of detail Including the engine😀

Found this on EBAY..... It's Tamiya's ancient (1979) M113A1 Fire Support Vehicle in 1/35 (35107). The only reason I bought this thing is that I built this kit around 1981 and I was surprised to see one for sale. A nostalgia thing, I guess. Basically, it's a M113 with a Saladin turret added by the Australian military... A fun, Quick, build most likely😀

I now have to accept the fact that everything I order from somewhere in the U.S. must go to customs before I get it...for no explainable reason. Inquiries about this have now made this bizarre reality set in stone.

I have one in my stash. Oh, you know I'll be following this build😀

I had the pleasure of meeting James Lovell while I was working at Lake Forest hospital in the Late 90's as an X-ray technologist. I also did A Cat scan on his son. 😀

Looks Amazing! Nice work Martin!

Viewing this really made me miss our Mikey...but in a good way. He was our poodle for just over 18 years. I mean Our dog because he belonged to our entire family..... He remembered everyone in our family, greeting them with equal joy.Despite actually belonging to my mother. He really treated me, and other family members with equal love. without really having reason, In my case, to do do so. So, we forgave him for his bad behavior at times. G*d I miss him.Thanks Martin.---too maudlin? Oh well , Hell.
