You don't see many Hueys getting built. I did the Academy UH-1C a few years ago. Looks like this one goes together a bit better.

Sorry to hear that Kevin. Hope there something that the vet can do for Hannah. Carl

Thanks Rob! It's the Meng BMW HP4 Race kit.

Watching @DocRob work his magic on his various F1 builds, I got up the courage to try and apply some carbon decals. It came out much better than I'd hoped for. As a contingency, I even photocopied the decal sheet so I could cut out replacement decals if it had gone pear shaped. Now to repeat it for the other side and then the front wheel.

Knowing how indestructible the Hilux is, it's a good thing the Germans didn't field such a combo in WWII.

Hmm, now that you mention it, maybe I should get him to pick some.

Not sure why they aren't sold in the US. They are both available here in Canada along with their Quick set, ABS, Low Odour, and Low Odour Extra Thin. Oh and they have Limonine and Limonine Extra Thin too if you like your cement to smell like citrus.

We had a good time there. I didn't get to check out the planes at the museum like I usually do though. The Badger is 90% done but I lost it. Yes, the tank is somewhere but not in the box. I want to finish it so I can get rid of the box but need to find it.

We just got back from Heritagecon. I saw some SBY models that a vendor was selling for a great price so I just grabbed the pile of them. First up was the Yamato herself. Then a couple of the enemy ships. Another vendor had a model of my second Civic so that was next. Thankfully there's a stock option which I'll go with. I then picked up some 3D printed figures from a new company. So last year in the show raffle my son Edward won the just released Italeri 1/12 Lancia Stratos kit which he promptly gave to his friend who was also there. This year, he won again. Yup, a ZM 109. I bought him a nice Gundam kit and traded him. Carl

That looks great. I like the modulation in the olive drab.

That looks great Paul. Not a subject you see everyday. Carl

Nice work on the Merlin. It's all coming together.

That second photo makes the car look like a rocket. Which it was!

Sorry to hear about the fit issues there Rob. The body looks so different to what I'm used to on an F1 car. More wedge shaped and not the crazy organic shapes they are now.

For your 1/24 Pip to chase!

Must resist....

Fast and neat as always.

Went to see Project Hail Mary this afternoon and came home to the latest stash addition.

Just seeing if anyone here will also be attending Heritagecon this Sunday? I'll be there with my son and one of his friends. Carl

Oh nice.

Some incredible detail there. The foil adds another dimension.

Oh, that's good to know. But I think one PG Unicorn will be enough for me. I also have the Full Armour version in the MG Ver. Ka series.

Mine is the red LED set as the kit parts are red. Bandai released the kit with different coloured clear parts but anything other than the red ones were limited issue and more expensive. If the reactor ever quits, I can plug it in with a USB thankfully.

My Kosmos LED set for the Unicorn Gundam arrived today. It looks fairly comprehensive. Each LED seems to be labelled to what the location for it is. There is the slight issue of it all being in chinese though. Thankfully Google Translate to the rescue! Main lighting harness. Smaller one for the shield. Remote. Even a metal nameplate.

I got the belt drive painted and installed on the engine. Test fitting the engine into the chassis shows I made.jest enough space for everything to fit. Meantime, Sunny decided this was a good time for some cuddles. He's far too active to truly replace Fursnake as a carpet monster but it's nice to have him down here.
