I know MP .... Maybe I'll see about building it one day .... the shields aren't tarnished either a Little 3-M pad and they would be ready to paint ... The Hull is made out of some kind of compressed sawdust material ..... I found out that Our family are from the Norsemen who settled England ..... Probably explains My being able to draw Viking ships when I was in 4th grade ....ldguy

Renee and I were vendors at ModelFiesta in San Antonio this past weekend. I can tell you that this is an awesome show, we have been several times. The quality and quantity of models on display is unbelievable. Last year, they had more entries than IPMS/USA national convention!
One of the highlights for Renee and I is the "Tool Lady". She has some really nice modeling tools at very good prices. I picked up a set of curved, long and short matte black tweezers for $10.00. I also got 1 straight and 2 curved sets of embroidery scissors 3 for $10.00.
I picked up these kits to play around with.
I also got the movie "Against The Sun". It is only available for digital download.

Looking great Kenny! We have a guy calls himself the Toolman out here too. I always try and pick something up from him.
Seriously? They had more than 2400 models on the tables last year? I'd love to see pics! That would be one rocking show!
No real additions for me; just a German Munitionsschlepper PzKpfw IV Ausf. D/E in 1/72 scale at my IPMS club's raffle. I may start it soon...

Which scheme, Tri-colour, Desert or Grey? I'm currently leaning toward the VMO-4 Tri-colour scheme.

Got some more WWI goodies today as well as the Albion tool and some albion tubing. The tool is bigger than I expected.
I also found an easy conversion on ebay to make McCudden's S.E. 5A. It is by True details. Should be here soon I hope and looks like this.

Looks like they reworked the cockpit mod for his early SE.5A that was included in the Encore/Roden release.
