Pick up several items from an estate sale, including a 1/700 escort carrier, a 1/72 Airfix A26, a 1/72nd P61 Black Widow and several Matchbox 1/76 armor kits.Geoff - Finished a little Polish light plane in 1/72, just because it was so tiny, then started an even smaller Soviet seaplane from WW2. Also picked up a few kits from the same estate sale, including the old Airfix Refueling Set and Recovery Set, a Matchbox Victor K2, a Heller Douglas DC 6B, a tiny Airfix bag kit of the Cessna Bird Dog and several more!Terry - getting final pictures sorted out for the Moosaroo. I suppose I can reveal it now. Also I’ll get the Phalanx assembled for some final touches. The Crusher Joe Harpy is in the same spot, those should both be done by the weekend. Probably. Beyond that, deciding on the next shelf queen to finish, assembling some Reaper Minis dragons since I’m back in a bit of the mythical beasts painting groove.[foogallery id="3921"]***************************************WHAT WE ARE READINGStuart - Still working on Stephen Baxter’s TracesGeoff - reading? What’s “reading”?Terry - Adam Savage’s Every Tool’s a Hammer. My friend Emily said it was very good and gave me her copy. So far it is. More from his approaches to starting and maintaining projects, asking for and giving help etc. I’ve implemented his checklist approach at work and it’s pretty useful. Reading the second to most recent light novel of My Happy Marriage, and while different from the anime in organization it’s every bit as good. ***************************************SPONSOR AD #2Seans Custom Model Tools ***************************************THINGS WE’VE SEENMatters of Scale detail bits.
