    ITS WAR

    Yep, that is not any fun. Sorry to hear that, Chris. We get a variety every year, never knowing how they will act. But, me and those pesky yellow jackets have an agreement. I don't bother them; they don't bother me. They can nest all over, except near my BBQ grill. They only get aggressive...

    Thank you, Kevin! Oh boy, Edbert, now you're getting technical on me again, HA! Not taking pics all the time, I seem to forget all that stuff and have to relearn it, just like painting faces. I couldn't tell you the specifics except to say I run 1/1.3 at f25-20, depending on the lighting...

    Thanks, Barley. th9is fall into the category of "playing to the camera," as in attempting to make the scene as life-like as possible. Does it work every time? No, but ya gotta keep trying and eventually it might happen. Thanks, Aya. Ah, you're a pup just like the rest of us, just ask the...

    I've spent two days editing this set of pics to have half not show here, so I'm not going to fight these pic posts anymore. You can view the entire string at MSC. Cheers, Ski.

    Easy Pickins, Normandy, France, July 1944, 200mm Diorama Army Ranger Rick's lunch has been interrupted by a few uninvited guests just outside of his hidey-hole in an abandoned winery maintenance shed. They appear to be lost and it sounds like they can't agree on which way to go. But Rick will...

    Controlling the point of view

    So, you're normal, just like the rest of us, good deal.;) Man, I sure am glad I'm up here close to the 49th parallel. I'm not a fan of the heat at all, but give me the snow and after plowing, it's all bunker time, Baby!

    Trumpeter 1/48 Cessna A-37B Dragonfly

    It's just a part of the build, I recon. But remember, Edbert, it ain't gonna get done lookin at it, HA! :oops: It can be time-consuming, that's for sure.

    Controlling the point of view

    Bingo, you nailed it, Marten, all of it, imho! I am not the best, by any stretch of the imagination, still learning, but I only compete against myself. I've been saying that for years. I only try to improve on what I can do myself, learn from others, and help others, if I can. So, ya, great...

    Wings to Fuselage As often happens, I thought I had taken photos of the difficult areas when fitting the wings to this fuselage, but nope, sorry. I believe it was a case of the memory card not registering and I was snapping away, unawares, oops. I know there are a few who have this kit, so I...

    "Easy Pickins"

    Thank you kindly, Aya. It's been a long run off and on, never thinking it would ever get done, lol. Waiting for the light to be just right can make or break the entire investment, so I'm in no rush, but at the same time I'd like it done. It's the movement of the base I don't like, as it...

    "Easy Pickins"

    Thanks, Barley, but the lighting crew has considerable seniority over me, HA! Yes, the camera is one to be played to, for sure. Painting shadows; Wow, I haven't thought about that in ages, it's muscle memory for me, I recon. I'm gonna fall back on Shep Paines lessons for painting shadows on...

    Weather Delays I apologize for the final photos not getting posted, the weather has not been a friend this time around. So why the delay, just snap the pics, right? Photos for this dio must be taken in natural lighting for the best final effect, outside, cloudy mornings. Set up and break down...
