Thanks for all of your condolences, they are very much appreciated. Gibby's passing hit us pretty hard since he was the most snuggly. He jumped up on the chair, turned around and fell to the floor lifelessly. We have all shared the passing of our pets and I really didn't realize how special they...

My little buddy passed suddenly today. He was with us for 8 years. While we have two other cats, he was the most personable. I'll miss you, little buddy.

I have always had an eye for a hard tail springer.

All done except for weathering the prop and running the aerial. I don't know how that will go because of the shakes but I'll work it out.

Thank you all

Happy New Year, Martin. We spent the time inside today. Made Hoppin' John and stayed out of each other's way.

Thank you

I am getting to the end of this build pretty soon. Life has been taking my interests, and I find myself languishing around a bit. I really should be more active. I decided to try and finish this build by the beginning of February for a group build that the model club has. Wheels up and on a...

Here are four of my completions. I cannot find any better pics because they were lost in a computer update about a couple of months ago.

Merry Christmas to all of you guys.

Not much. It was cold there and the bay of Naples stank really bad with dead livestock floating around and raw sewage.

My first Christmas away from home was 1978 in Naples, Italy

Wow! You have a 3/4 in sheet of ply? I would be thankful just for that. :bigrin: I am thankful just for knowing you guys as modeling friends and acquaintances.

Knowing this about you and your reference data surely makes me see you in a different light. I thought you were just a know it all and for that I do apologize. I remember when you came on at Swanny's and I sure didn't see you as a reference library. Now that I know a little more about you, I am...

I mucked around a while to try and get something that resembles non-specular gray blue. This was the closest that I could get. The sort of salmon pink won't really be seen through the cockpit and the starkness of the insignia white should tone down once the weathering is applied. As for the rest...

It would be nice to see you again, Paul.

That Zero is a great kit. I finished mine the beginning of this year.
