Putty too, but not a crazy amount. It’s my transition kit to non-aircraft models, as it has the launcher and tractor as well!Stuart - Work continues on the YF-21 Good fit as is to be expected from this Hasegawa release. Lots of priming and painting of sub-assemblies lie ahead.Terry - did not paint the Regult, it got a bit cold in my garage shop. I did do some work on the Halberd Models XP-47H, it’s as easy as expected from a Tamiya conversion.[foogallery id="3583"]***************************************WHAT WE ARE READINGGeoff - Still on The Wager, but also Assassins Creed Valhalla game is chewing up a lot of my time! Stuart - Coming of Age in the Milky Way by Timothy Ferris. - Almost done.Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results - Shane Parrish Terry - Still reading the Second Elric book and now the Constantine 2013-2015 series. Debating which nonfiction book to start next. ***************************************SPONSOR AD #2Seans Custom Model Tools ***************************************THINGS WE’VE SEENLayered Ink Patina technique from Luftraum72 https://www.staplesandvine.com/index.php/product/slave-1/(He is currently doing an incredible CAD rendering of the ship from Guardians of the Galaxy which showed up on the Starship Modeller FB page the other day and got my attention.) ICM B-26 Marauder kits should start arriving in March. Netflix 1670 - a Polish “mockumentary” well worth watching, very funny and like Norsemen, filmed in a historic reconstruction village. Adam Savage got a ton of parts from ILM***************************************THE LAST WORD SMP Ep. 133 is also sponsored by Return To Kit Form (R2KF).
