Man your tempo and skill is just amazing! Lovely build!

If you only got a bronze with that build ,there must be some very talented builders in your neighborhood!! Because your build is OUTSTANDING!

Hardest thing I've done, harder even than the miscarriage we had early on in our relationship... 14 years is a long time. The relocation thankfully won't be too bad, we're just going 2 doors down, better newer home, with A/C, bigger kitchen and attached garage. I can still walk to work, and bike to the golf course, and paint my ship hulls in my garage!

The thing I miss the most about no longer living in the SW Ontario, is missing this and the London shows... Still a member of IPMS London, but tough to miss out! Another great show, and I recognize the models of a couple of the London guys!

That looks very nice!

So very sorry to hear this. Harv was a true gentleman. His family has lost something large, and I send my condolences to them. I also would like to offer my condolences to you guys, Harv was a fantastic guy, who helped a lot of us out! RIP Harv.

Well, I got a new hobby room. We were going to be in the new diggs temporarily, but we may stay here for the time being. it is quite a bit more spacious than our old place, so that's a bonus, but I still have WAY too much plastic for just one dude. May cull the stash a tad more perhaps. not made a decision yet. Anyways=y, when I'm all set up I'll share a picture or 2! Cheers all!

Merry Christmas and congrats to all! Next year will be better for sure! Harald

Could do a Gannett. not single engine but single shaft... Doesn't exist in 32nd though H.

I'll leave myself out for this year, simply because I'm in the middle of a move requireing every single penny and sense I have... (who are dumb enough to start a new job in January, in Manitoba...) Anyway, Ernie, you're a champ, and so is everyone else! I'll rejoin next year! Harald

I just got a new job... So I'll be packing the bench again (feck, it may stay packed for a bit, we may be able to buy a house in the not too distant future!) But it's exiting!

I have used it with success! H.

Good to see you back! I am a member of a local of IPMS in Canada that does weekly "grey-butt" zoom calls. If anyone had zoom, perhaps that would be a viable thing,like a weekly bullshit session, with a computer on in the corner with the camera and mic on to talk shit back and forth? I really enjoy those, and it allows discussion of good and bad parts whilst relaxing with a bevvie and some friendly banter. Works well long distance too! Cheers Harald

I got a bottle of Abteilung liquid mask. It's amazing, but I store the bottle upside down to prevent it from setting up... it's great stuff. Got it from Andy's HHQ

There is a nice build online of the Model collection B-52G, it turns into a decent kit if you're not too picky on specifics. I've started one as well, but got bogged down in weapons selections...

Just an image of what came home with me!

Oh… Vacation visit to the Aviation Museum of Atlantic Canada. AH-64D from Takom, and A-1J from Trumpeter… and a couple 48ths… lots.

If that's the Missourah I have the 1/200, with full Pontos treatment...

I was going to, but the wife found a smoking deal to go see the east coast of Canada, which completes my "bingo card" of seeing all 10 provinces and 3 territories! I'm sure there is a hobbyshop in or near Halifax too...

Couldn't rotate the image so you guys get a kink in the neck! Got the Pontos USS Missouri 1945 set, and a couple pieces Eduard, because I started the Eduard route only to find it blocked by age (unavailable). Has blue decks, so got that going for me!

Hmmm Dspiae Angle cutting station... I must have this, and the pen...

Another one smashed out of the park! Amazing job there! How does the kit stack up with the Tamiya 48th F4U? Cheers Harald

As an aside, if it's an F-104 it's a G, if it's a CF-104 it has no G... The only one with nomenclature behind is the CF-104D which in USAF nomenclature was a TF-104.. go figure. also the G sort of implies that there was an A through F, I know of the A, B and C, then G and TF... Lockheed and USAF sure didn't make it easy. Anyway, also note, if you're making a CF, file off the bump in front of the windshield, the CF's didn't have them...

That's a fantastic picture! Thanks! Now I just need one of the starboard side, and one above!

I go to Dick Blick's whenever I'm in Minnesota, they have the Iwata (or Medeo) airbrush cleaner. works a charm on Vallejo, Mig, and AK Acrylic paints so far. no probs. Also not too pricy. cheers! Edited to add link: https://www.dickblick.com/products/iwata-medea-airbrush-cleaner/
