The sunset thunderstorm backdrop should be darker in the foreground, but I'm selling submarine models, rather than sunsets.

"Attending Physician" issues the proper DOT documentation to clear my CDL again. That arrogant sumbitch, or his clinic doesn't even return my calls. I called his Administrator. Voicemail. Next step: Litigation.

TLAR Model kit 518 1/700 scale US Navy GUPPY III Cold War Submarine is complete. See above the possible box artworks. Instructions are not quite ready, but soon, Tovarischi. Very soon! :yipee:

I no longer feel useless. My sweetie has reclaimed her "Passenger Princess" crown. She earned it in the last 5 1/2 months! She was delighted to not have to drive in Des Moines as we left the Cardiac unit, en route to a big, grody, greasy cheeseburger. We both gained greater appreciation for...

Our member, Webb Groos is having home hospice care. As a club, the plastic surgeons will bring the next Club meeting to Webster, at his son Barry's home in Ames, IA. I have been freshly released by my cardiac Doc, and have had my driving privileges restored! We will be attending, barring...

Tedious, but worth the extra effort.

There's a kid on X in Belgium that does this on all of his Eduard models. For myself, I don't plan to monkey with peeling clear decal film. Testors Flatcote covers the film quite nicely, and it's still available in the US at Hobby Lobby. Not everyone still uses the old tricks.

No. That would mean making 2 more new molds.

You can almost hear the chilly ammo carrier telling the cheerful MG gunner "Halte dem Schnauzel, Dummkopf!" Will the Mr. Tiger get any snow?

USS Clamagore is depicted in her 1950's US Navy dark gray Ghost scheme. Attack and search periscopes and snorkel mast are extended. The snorkel pivots vertically when fully extended for operation. My paintjobs wiped out the fine deck scribing of both models. SSN-509, USS Tigerfish is in the...

Hell, 2010 is long gone as well, and there's no model of the Russian monstrosity of a ship Roy Scheider went aboard in that picture.

Is it paint or dust inside the cockpit? Dust I hope!

Neet-O! He must be the first guy on the scene.

IMPS Plastic Surgeons 30th contest (in our 32nd year) is coming right up, in Nevada, Iowa, on 4 April 2026. I would start another thread and invite all me mates, but it usually comes to naught, so I'll just post the proceedings here. The Chuck Sterns award is on hand and looks just like I...

And it keeps the rolls from going "BOING!" and getting in a snarl!

It's a speedy process when everything goes well.
