Moon Puppy's MMM 2023

[moon puppy]

Here's a peak inside the box.

Two whole kits, not a lot of parts.

Hey look at me! Yeah I'm building. I did @Big10 and @Mo_ dry brush technique on the engine block. I'm not sure if that's the right color for a Japanese motor but it's what I did. For the BlueGreen I did RAF cockpit interior and oversprayed it with Tamiya's transparent blue. Is it right? I don't know. I made an effort.

 

[Heavens Eagle]

You finally left the starting line at halfway through the race Bob! It can be done so....

 

[Rhino]

I like your interior color! Very Japanese looking! Party on Wayne!

 

[Duke Maddog]

And he's off! Yay!

 

[Flyingbabydoc]

That is a very nice choice of model Bob.

I have two cammo suggestions for you:

Or the little "Red Wild Horse":

Should look mighty fine.

Cheers

This will be oob doc, unfortunately turn of events last week has my priorities shifted. Not much time for models in my future.

 

[Flyingbabydoc]

I am so sorry to hear that, I hope it is nothing serious. If I can help in anyways just let me know.

Sorry to hear that Bob! I have been there pretty much the last year and once this build is done I am probably going to be back off the model bench again for a while.

Well blew this one.
I have a doctors excuse. Wife took a spill and broke her knee cap and several other things so I've been doing the care giving for the last 3 weeks now. I'll finish it sometime but not soon.

ouch!

The joys of wearing multi-hats, chief cook and bottlewasher, chauffer, lady's maid, housekeeper, laundry maid, etc. Been there and done that. Remember to take some time for yourself. You don't do either of you any good if you run yourself into the ground.

Best wishes to you both.

I'm with Rich and have been where he has been as well.
Take care of yourself! If you get down you can't take care of anyone else.

Tell your wife we wish her a speedy recovery.

Thank you very much Rich.
Cindy and I were primary care givers to her brother and mother for over 15 years till they both passed away 2 years ago. She didn't get much personal time back then and we've been making up for it since she retired and we moved away.
And TBH, I've always been the chief if I wanna eat!!

Thanks Paul.

Well snuck back on the bench a bit today. Some normalcy has arrived at the farm, Cindy drove for the first time since March! I was copilot even with my heart condition. can't hold her back now.

This ain't going to be pretty when done, some issues I'll fix but it is what it is.

The Ox is slow, but the Earth is patient.
Models are too.

 

[Barney]

There is always next year!

None of us will "remember" that you started it in 2023

 

[Flyingbabydoc]

Just coming back after another hiatus. How's the wife Bob? I hope she has recovered well. My best to you two.

Thanks Doc, She's 98% recovered now. She's not walking the 4 miles every other day like she was but she's doing youtube exercises classes which she's enjoying.
