Congratulations!
I don't know who that is...
But thanks John!
Neighbor is also interested in a back part of our lot. Since it buts up against his house almost I understand why.

Congrat's on the new house Bob! I am going back to Tulsa this weekend as my daughter is buying my old house there from me. She has done a fair amount of rework on it already. Then maybe it will be time for me to get another.

There's a program on Amazon called Burn Notice that my wife and I are watching. Michael Westen is a burned spy who basically does the Don Quixote routine around Miami with Gabrielle Anwar as his Dulcinea. A very loose translation, but Anwar is most photogenic, IMHO.
Already practicing my "slow your ass down!" and "git off my grass!"
Transferred the colors from Casa de Dogwood to yet to be named homestead.

Congratulations on the new house Bob. Wow.
Okay, here's my latest acquisitions, all from the San Diego show.
Not as big or fancy as Bob's but they will help.
First are my two raffle prizes. I got these for putting my tickets in the Miscellaneous box, hoping to get a ship or two. Instead, I got these:
Those were taped together back-to-back. Good backups for me.
Next were these True Color Paints:
I don't expect to be using these as they are colors for cars as you can see here:
Maybe someday I'll find something to use them on. However, I'll happily sell them to anyone who wants to shoot them on their cars.
I still have two other sets of True Color Paints that were won in raffles. None of them were anything I would use either, but I do still have them.
Moving on,. I saw this old classic and had to have another one:
I plan on checking to see if the French, the Canadians, Australians or British used these. That way I can add this to the collection under one of those flags.
The last thing I got for $30.00 was this kit:
However, there are two kits in that box. The previous owner had bought the two so he could open both bomb bays on his Stealth, that left him enough parts to build two kits, which are both in that box. Now I can build two Stealth bombers and use the kit decals one one and the special IPMS Nationals decals on the other.
That's all for now. I have two other vehicles coming in soon I hope. I'll post them later.

Photo booth is new...
Not sure if this new white photo backdrop:
... is better than blue:
Yet, that photo is better than the previous one:

Saul, I guess it depends on what you're shooting. Still, way to go on the new booth.
Autographed copy of Panzer Tracts, very cool!
While Tom was alive, I would get two copies of each title. One to use (shop copy) and another for the library.
Regards,
New product from our own Kenny Loup which I will be trying out on glass and plastic paint bottles/jars shaking by hand and with the beauty salon electric shaker.
Please help me decide which background is better, white or blue:

Awe man! Michael Westen is cool! He is the main character in an old USA Network show Burn Notice. He's a spy. Very cool show. Renee and I are watching the series again. If you have Amazon Prime, it's free to stream.I don't know who that is...
But thanks John!

I have found that a light blue grey works well most of the time for general items. The white is a bit too bright and can give problems with contrast and washing out the photo. The dark blue is a bit the other way. It is too dark and can hide detail (notice the base of the container). The dark blue would work quite well as a background for lighter colored sprue photos.
I like Blue. Things seem to get lost on a white background.

Trying to NOT think about the crazy-cash I have in this thing at present, but wow it looks like it be a neat model!
