The orange guy is Sunny D and the Calico is Fursnake. My wife named them both. If Garfield is anything like Sunny, I bet he's a real sweetheart.

Nope, just two cats. The ginger is Sunny D, he's a rescue that was abandoned as a kitten at a dairy farm we were visiting. We were visiting with some friends and Sue saw him and immediately decided that we were taking him home. Which made the kids of the other parents there all want a kitten too. That didn't go over so well.

As most of you know, I have a carpet monster in my lap most of the time. She does a decent enough job catching wayward parts. Then I just have to retrieve them from her fur coat before she takes off. In case anyone is wondering what I'm taking about. Her standby isn't working out as well though. He wants to do some modelling as opposed to just being an observer.

Nice varied set of hobbies there Paul. I love woodworking as well but don't have room for a workshop. When we built out garage, Sue made it clear that it was strictly for our cars and bikes and not to be turned into a workshop. A fiat tradeoff in my opinion. As for our security squad, he might get off the couch for you if you came in but is more likely to just ignore you and keep sleeping.

Wow, that's a whole different level in aircraft building. The variation in appearance from a few simple (relatively) changes is cool too.

Sorry to hear about this Peter. However, I'm glad to hear you're responding well to the meds.

Heathen!! Next thing you're going to say is you follow them!! If you said destructions i would have let it slide. On a more serious note, I haven't had a chance to make it to the post office with the K tail. Hopefully tomorrow.

Nice work there John.

The contra prop is just so cool on this plane. Infinity had announced one in 1/32 but it died when they threw in the towel. Too bad as that would have cool.

First up is the cockpit. The plane carried an ejection seat and has the distinction of being the first plane that a pilot successfully ejected from while underwater. A quick paint job, nothing fancy. The ejection seat in place. 10 pieces for this alone. I realized I should add the included PE belts so those are next.

I was looking at the stash and saw this kit sitting in it. I've had it long enough that the ship I bought it from closed over 10 years ago. Anyways, it has marking for the 1956 Suez crisis so it fits the GB nicely. Plus it gave me a reason to finally build it. It'll be 100% OOB.

A real life egg plane!

That's the one. Halberd is doing 1/32 and next year a 1/24 version. The latter is probably as big as most 1/48 planes. Definitely an odd looking plane. Perfect next to the Flying Pancake.

What an interesting subject Hubert. Something I wouldn't not have known about but for reading the backstory behind your build.

That's evil. Just saying. Anyways, it's sold out so my wallet is safe. For now. Mind you the Halberd XF-85 is so very tempting....

The paintwork on the underside looks great. The shading isn't too stark and gives it that sandy sort of dirt that I think you were aiming for.

Neat looking AFV. The 38T chassis was certainly versatile.

Nice to see you got the cockpit to fit between the wheel bays.

Finally made some progress. The fit so far has been very good. Everything where's it's supposed to. Which is a relief as there's smlo many bits. Here's the front of the lower hull. 18 parts not including the hull itself. There's a basic drivers position, mostly the seat. With the hull side in place. The upper hull is a perfect fit onto this.

Chris, your 109 is just humming along. Looking forward to the camo.

I'm between paycheques or I would have probably broken down and grabbed one. They've extended the offer until tonight just to be cruel about it.

Phil, that Jeep would look great next to my LRDG Ford.

Interesting way they stacked the tiles.

Great progress there Martin. Nice solution to the broken hub.

Well, I finally got a start. First up, the .50 Browning on the commander's cupola. Silly number of parts to this bit. Next up, I started on the suspension arms. Again, lots of little pieces to add to the hull sides. Hopefully more to come.
