So much for getting one over on sharkmouth.

Well, I'll tell ya. We had a few friends go with us fishin'....... up Alaska-way. A couple of the guys were Can-a-dians. I don't call my friends "Canook", ya see. So I had ol' Bert put up the...... maple leaf flag next to Old Glory. I don know about "drunks". Sure, we all had a...

HMS Audacity's demise (hem) as it were, from Michael Turner's very fine book, of course.

Keep Calm and Model On!

Yesterday was my final day at Bussanmus Heating and Cooling. The work environment there has become increasingly toxic and hostile. Bryan called me at home and cussed me out, with my sweet wife right next to me, because I didn't repair all the failings of others. I didn't used to allow myself...

A Royal Navy airplane? Interesting choice, wot?

Flightdeck suspension mold in progress. Moldmax 20 will be used to make a stouter, more rigid mold. If you are going to dick around with it, do it right!

Eine kleine Panzerwagen! Or "Little Big Tank". Very cool!

I really just wanted to build Winkle's first ship for the fun of it. I thought about sawing the flightdeck off the hull and making a rudimentary resin 2 part kit of her. Deck and hull. That would be too much fuss and take too much work to correct all her "sins". This is a compromise.

The decision to mold the flight deck has been made. HMS Audacity will be suspended by her bottom and RTV will be poured up to cover just the deck. The mold box for the 1/350 USCG Reliance class WMEC will serve nicely, of course. Floquil reefer gray primer reveals the wood deck and gun tub...

The curious doggie is a nice touch! very nicely executed, thus far! :vgood:

A craftsman such as yourself should have no problem with the 1969 Revell kit!

https://www.model-monkey.com/scale-500 It could be that you and Model Monkey's works may become well acquainted once your vintage Renwal Tico/Shangri La/ Lexington build commences.

It is said that the 1/720 Revell kit is the most accurate CVN-65 in waterline scale, save the island structure. https://www.starfighter-decals.com/1up.html Upgrades ARE available! The Island correction set is an excellent casting. Are you ambitious enough to add the hangar deck? Mark...

The container is on an incline, so the chair stows itself. One cannot be to careful at our age (hem) can one?
