My genius Sweetie has come up with a hilarious summer fun idea! Don't take my word for it! I invite you to have a gander at this spank-brand new product from her Eggknobs & Inksticks category and make up your own mind! I will confess to writing my usual, creative listing for her. The...

This kit isn't quite as spendy as I imagined it would be at $179.99 + freight from Squadron, but Holly Molly! It's huge!

Your Medusa is unusually lovely! :notworthy From whence came the arrow?

4 new molds failed. 3 of them were for the HWC-SPX kit. Old material/contamination caused the pink bubble goo, again. A couple of days of bathing the Masters in isopropyl, picking pink globs, and repairing the Masters is at an end. On the brighter side, a "Do Over" allows a chance to make...

Yeah, I'm an innovator! :yipee:

4 June, 2026. An interesting day. The anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Midway. The anniversary of my Dad's sudden death. Coffee pot: Crapped out. 1 1/2 cups of coffee is not enough for any modeling endeavor, even when a guy is on vacation. Attempting repairs, I scalded myself...

The final element of the 1/350 52' HWX-SPC boat set is the 1/1 scale USCG Surfman qualification award. Molding and casting this vertically seemed the most logical method of letting the air out of the mold. Resin reproductions of this will be included in each kit. RTV coming up!

BLAST! Better than a sewage pond one might think.

The 3rd 1/350 scale narco fast boat crewman has been added and all the C/A glue shinies are flatted. It's not easy to see the time consuming progress on the boat wakes and bow waves, but this project is making headway, a little bit (?!?) at a time.

Is this the norm at MFH, or did they recently hire someone's idiot nephew to fill kits, in your opinion?

Then, just for the fun of it!

Airplane nut eye-candy!

Another of "Barrow's Battlin' Beasties". Well done, indeed!

"Do you mean to tell me, I can't park this beastie here? I'll park him where ever I please, thank you very much."

Experience gained from the Cube-Boat projects shows that it is much easier to finish off such things if one "puts the boats in the water". It is doubtful that a 25-RB-S boat would have the grunt to catch a speedy narco smuggler, but it IS my favorite US Coast Guard small boat. Work on clear...

Another gem is taking shape in UK! :good:

More model-related subjects, hopefully!

The 2025/26 school year has come to a close. My Sp. Ed. teaching job at the school is ended. I thanked my homeroom students for teaching me so much and welcoming me to the their Whitter family. I'm sure these 5th graders taught me more than I did them! I played a few final pranks on students...
