KevinM Posted July 17, 2021 Author Posted July 17, 2021 It's update time still got to gloss the legs and wheel doors along with some weathering.Now guys I normally do not weather much at all but being a Russkie crate figured it needed some it's all done with MIG powders which Do Not dilute with a clear on top!!!So I had to pull out the turpentine and wipe her down some lesson learned what you apply is what you see when finished really a good thing.I am thinking Tuesday will be the finish date that's the day I go in for those eight needles in the back been a couple of tough days of late 7
Kaireckstadt Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 This weathering looks really subtle and I like it this way. Well done Kevin! 2 1
Peterpools Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 Kev Weathering looks light and so well done. Good luck with the needle procedure on Tuesday and hoping the few rough days goes as quickly as possible with the least amount of pain and discomfort. Keep 'em comin Peter 3 1
DocRob Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 Another great example, where the weathering blends the camo in a beautiful way. Cheers Rob 3 1

KevinM Posted July 21, 2021 Author Posted July 21, 2021 I got some leg work done not much more guys the jabs to the spine went well today already feeling better will improve more in time.I had a chance this evening to plane some really really old wood and it was still rough cut at over a 100 years old.I have a buddy who has been commissioned to build the "Trojan" a three mast ship that visited Gulfport Harbor in 1902.The wood was for the base a no.1 grade Pine what is called pecky and some Cedar from a Catholic School in New Orleans that was built in 1890 just Beautiful such a tight tight grain and I may be able get some!? The ship just thought it might be of interest to some? 1 1
Peterpools Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Kev Glad to read your medical procedure went well - which is the most important of all. Thanks for the follow up on the wood and the ship. Keep 'em comin Peter 1

Peterpools Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Kev Be safe and I'll be thinking and praying of you. We had our first hurricane a week ago with Henri and were very lucky it turned far enough east that we were spared the intensity of the storm. You're looking down the barrel of a Cat 4 Hurricane - and take all the precautions you can. Keep 'em comin Peter 1

KevinM Posted August 30, 2021 Author Posted August 30, 2021 Thks Guys can see with the response all went well 50% in the county lost power but not our area.I was more worried about tornado impacts but that was less also storm moved an extra 60miles to the W of what I anticipated for 30N which made the center 120M to my W instead of 60m big difference.This is a 150mph sounds like had 175mph at this place. 3 1
Peterpools Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Kev Thank goodness you're alright and have electric. I feel horrible for all those that are suffering from the hurricane. The sound bite is beyond belief and absolutely terrifying. Peter 3
KevinM Posted August 30, 2021 Author Posted August 30, 2021 I guess Zeta last season cleared out all the bad transformers maybe we were without power for a week almost I'll take lucky any day! 2
Peterpools Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Kev Most important of all - everyone is safe and sound. Keep 'em comin Peter 1
harv Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 All my family down there is safe. No power, lots of downed trees, but no house damage. Also said cell phones and internet is sporadic......harv 1
Kaireckstadt Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Good to hear that both of your families are safe and their homes not damaged! 2
