Reading Hunger by Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun.

Impressive work!

Nice work on the planking Rob! I'm enjoying your thread on this build and I admiring Your work so far.

Your work on the interior of that plane looks great! That looks like a very detailed kit of an aircraft I've always had an interest in.

Looks like an interesting subject for a model. Always nice to see something out of the ordinary For a change!

Nice work John!

Thanks for the tip. I've been using Walthers Solvaset and it's pretty strong stuff so I'll test it first. I also used the Tamiya stuff, it seems an bit milder.

Well, the Pledge/Future arrived today and I'm happy to report that it does not smell like perfume; instead, it smells like possibilities, puppies, the promise of successful modeling endeavors, and...........victory!. No, seriously, it just has a clean, slightly chemical smell. Sorry Hubert. Anyway, I now have a years (at least) supply of pre-decaling clear coat.

Looking good Carl!

I do that sometimes. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to Stalag 17 ! I watch, or rather, listen to it every time I find it on tv. It's the same with the original Star TrekTrek episodes.

I too have been preoccupied with world events and no longer listen to music like I used to. So much of contemporary music is distasteful to me now. I now, when I'm driving, listen to a Chicago classical music station. The station my dad listened to. My father was really a fan, and expert on classical music. His knowledge on the subject was astounding. I now enjoy listening to it and listen to the station when I'm not listening to the news. Last night, while reading a book by Herman Hesse, the character in the book spoke about A composer named Buxtehude..... never heard of him. I looked him up. He was Dieterich Buxtehude, A composer from Denmark. I had Alexa play his music for A while before I went to bed. I'm finding that classical music is good stuff......but then Dad was right about A lot of things.

I wish I had a Tamiya dedicated shelf!

I remember now; about two years ago, my mother purchased for me as a gift a Takom's 1/6 ft17 ---the one with the Berliet or hexagonal turret. I was surprised as I haven't seen this version for sale anywhere since then. She got it for a good price I think.

Looks like an interesting kit. I also have been building up a stash for the past few years; probably more than I'll ever finish, my output of finished models not being that many. I haven't tried Ebay yet. There are a lot of Takom models that are difficult to source and I've seen some of these listed on Ebay. The only Dragon kit I built was that big German bicycle I built a while back, I enjoyed that. I have a Dragon 1/16 figure to build that looks pretty good.

Well Hubert, when it is delivered, I'll sniff it and give you my opinion😀

Got this today: A Copper State Models kit #35005 Italian Armoured Car 1ZM. Again, A nicely molded, packaged, and presented kit of a very interesting subject.

Nice work John! It's amazing how quickly you've been making these beautiful models!

Please tell me you haven't ..........been drinking it!

Just ordered some.😀 It was not easy to find!

Interesting subject for a build. Will be following

Thanks. I'm probably the Last person to know this; but I just had to have it confirmed.

Question regarding Future floor polish; is this sold as Pledge now?

Wonderful progress!

Got the companion piece to my DSPIAE circle cutter today; The "Stepless Adjustment Circular Cutter Locator". It should add a little more versatility to my circle cutter; allowing It to cut concentric circles for roundels and the like. Again, it is a quality tool, albeit a very simple one. Also arriving today; eight bottles of Tamiya LP-24 semi-gloss clear lacquer. I'm looking forward to trying both products out.

Another great build John!
