Yes. Good skit comedy. What happened to good tv shows?

Various stages of the pre-shading confetti effect.

Darn, no one is building a Charlie in the box.

Nobody wants a charlie in the box. My day is now made. Thanks.

 

[GaryG64]

This is a really weird plane.

I found some color transparency tape which I thought would be ideal for masking windows, especially when the detail isn't as pronounced as on other kits.

Well, my money for the Mistel was refunded. E-mail from Squadron said their inventory count said they have it but they can't find any after their move. I did appreciate that honesty. So, I'll check around elsewhere.

I ordered this one instead. Prototype fighter based on a racing aircraft. Didn't pan out.

It's good to find honest people.

Plugging away. Set the wings to the fuselage to see how it looks... what do you think? Weird, huh?

That's a strange aircraft. Seems it would be difficult to fly.

I would agree. Looks tough.

 

[Down Time]

Odd bird.

This Valom kit is as close to unbuildable as I've ever seen. The sprue doesn't have any numbers on it, there are no alignment pins or holes, and the canopy is a joke.
I will have to look at the picture and then try to match the part.

That looks really difficult, Tim. Looks cool, though.

We will see how it goes. Could be hammer time!!

 

[Down Time]

We will see how it goes. Could be hammer time!!

Certainly a skill builder, should be rewarding at the end.
Either such pleasure to the eye and the warm feeling of accomplishment OR the maniacal glee of hammering it to smithereens.
