Sounds like heaven to me! I miss those days!
Sunny and 74 degrees here in Southern California with a light breeze keeping it just cool enough.
Mats and Veerle, congrats on the new baby. You are truly blessed!

Congrats Mats and Veerle! A Summer kid!
James, Spring finally hit where I live and trees are blossoming. I realize that Winter does depress me.
Now, I await my Summer activities.

Spent the morning celebrating Opening Day for my son's little league. They did it up right too-- we started with team pictures (good idea since these white and gray pants won't be so clean for long!), a parade through town, fireworks, and then each kid was introduced over the PA system...wonder if the league I joined will do the same thing next month

Took my Revell Corvette ship model over to the local pond to launch and test the balast/trim before permanently installing the main decks. Need to correct a slight starboard list.

Ahoy there me mateys!
Well shiver me timbers! I didn't think there was much to see so I didn't post any images.
however, this is what the model looked like on the water today. The open bridge area is just attached temporarily to the model. The main decks will be cemented in place ones the ballast is changed to correct the trim - list to starboard.
The model is 34 inches long and about 5.5 inches wide. Ballast is acquarium swtone mixed with silicone sealant and plaqce inside the hull on the bottom. This allows for removal of ballast if needed but is also firmly in place.No U-boats were spotted but there was a snapping turtle sunning itself on a log and watching the proceedings.
Thanks for looking and for your interest.

Ahoy there matey.
Just lost my reply because I used the backspace button when editing the post. :<)
Yes, it's the 1/72 scale Revell kit.
It's an older kit that I picked up at the hobby shop a couple of years ago instead of the 1/72 scale Tamiya Vosper perkasa kit I was going to get. Both kits were $85.00.
Revell has re-released this kit as a Premium Edition with metal parts, PE parts and I think some lazer cut wood decks for the bridge area and the foredeck. It's now a bit more expensive at $239.99 now.
The older release has some issues such as round parts out of round and clear parts that are too small to fit. I hope the Premium Edition correct those problems.
Thanks again for your interest.

Ahoy there Moon Puppy.
Yes sirree! She has her radio control gear and ballast inside. They were in the hull when I did the test launch.
I'm glad I got that kit when I did because the new Premium Edition one is clost to $150.00 more than I paid for this kit. That $150.00 is morethan I paid for the radio, speed control and battery. The radio came with two servos but I only needed one, and the receiver. Later today I'll post an image or two of the radio gear and the ballast inside the hull.
I guess I should continue this in the In The Navy builds.
