Painted the solar panels Aqueos Metallic Black, then after a gloss coat going to try Mr Metallic Color GX Metallic Violet. In a very thin coat. After masking the panels off I may use the same Violet color for the other parts.I have also primed and airbrushed gold onto some parts of the Hayabusa Muses-C space probe. Geoff - really stuck in the summer doldrums, partly due to chores but also just not terribly motivated, so I’m just plugging away at several kits at the pre-painting stage.Terry - Slow summer with puppies! Ginny brought a (maybe) foster husky home. Zeus is about 9 months old and is doing a stellar job wearing himself and Toshi out. I have had a chance to do a bit of sanding etc. here and there.Chris - Rebuilding the hobby studio in the new house. Phase 1a is complete. Phase 1b to begin when I build up the courage.Improving the Tamiya 1/48 Corsair - Build video at https://youtu.be/JLK9h2Sg-qgI’ll be painting this build next and hope to have a video out soon.WHAT ARE WE READINGStuart - The Victorian Internet by Tom Stage - A history of the telegraph and how it’s effect on civilization mirrors quite a bit the creation of the Internet.Geoff - still reading about Magellan!Terry: Still reading the same books, I’m about halfway through Tom Cleaver’s Clean Sweep - P-51Bs have started arriving in England. I’m getting the urge to read something big and engrossing like a China Mieville or Neal Stephenson novel. Maybe Discworld, I’ve never read that series.Chris - Bomber Mafia by Malcolm Gladwell, The Fighting Corsairs***************************************SPONSOR AD #2Seans Custom Model Tools***************************************THINGS WE’VE SEENAirfix has been hinting at something. Very coy.Turned out to be a 1/48 Westland Sea King HAS.1/HAS.5/HU.5Trumpeter’s 1/32 Devastator is now on people’s benches!  Putty and Paint to see amazing miniature work.***************************************THE LAST WORD“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”-Kurt VonnegutAlso: https://honeycopy.com/copywritingblog/kurt-vonnegut-adviceSMP Ep. 122 is also sponsored by Return To Kit Form (R2KF).
