I spent this morning
volunteering at the local petting zoo. This is something my nine
year old daughter was keen to do this summer and I must admit we have fun
dealing with the baby goats and rabbits and being followed around by the
miniature pony named "Peanut Butter" as she watches us
work. Of course going to bed at 2AM and waking up at 7:30AM takes a
bit of a shine off the fun......ZZZZZZZZzzzzzz
|
|
|
Gabriel Stern is
here to start your day off with a giggle. This is his
Scratch-built 1/72 Scroggs Last Laugh.
This is an actual plane that actually flew......to an impressive

aircraft and how he scratchbuilt his model in his article.
Including in-progress pics. The F-14 Tomcat has nothing on Mr
Scroggs aircraft!!! :-D
|

|
Jeff Hamel has
done an outstanding job on his 1/48 Hasegawa F-14A Tomcat.

AEX
came
into the Canary Islands ARC Corporate
offices this morning while I was having a coffee with the local staff
with this
exceptional 1/72 Hasegawa Messerschmitt Bf-109E-3.

home office. The weathering is a sight to behold.

|
|
|
Alvaro Troncoso Gil (Bruja)
has done a lovely job on his
1/48 Academy MIG 21 Bis FAR.
Although this great looking MiG is built out of the box.....it looks

Late update today.....I was
busy all morning setting up our large wading pool for my kids as I worked
on today's update off and on. I tried something new this
year....using hot water from our hot water tank to give the kids
warm water....instead of the usually chilly water. It worked like a
charm. They are outside relaxing and laughing in warm water under
the cover of an awning to keep the sun off them. No time to complete
today's reviews.....I've been working 7 nights a week at work recently.
|
|
|
Colin Gomez begins
today with his 1/48 Hasegawa Hawker Typhoon IB.

detailing his 1/72 DML MIG-15.
Pierre added plenty of scratchbuilt details in the cockpit and wires

MiG was finished off with aftermarket decals and one of the best
looking camo schemes used on the MiG-15. Pretty impressive
detailing for a 1/72 kit.
|
|
|
|
|
Vince Lucente
is here with
his expertly built 1/48 Special Hobby North American Aviation X-15-A2.
Vince is too modest when he talks about his abilities.....a close look
at the photos of his limited run X-15 will show his careful attention
to detail skill at completing a challenging kit.
|
|
|
|
|
Thang Le
is back with
another gem from his workbench. This is Thang's 1/48 Italeri AH-1Z Viper
