Well 1st I had to pack everything up in New Jersey beginning of Jan 2018 in preperation of selling my house.Finally moved to NC in May 2018 into a pretty nice apartment,there was really no place to set up a work area,you know compressor noise,spilled paint,didnt want to risk it,so I kept all my stuff in storage.Finally finished the house I was having built and moved in 10/30/19.So thats been my journey.Can't believe how fast time slipped away,but glad to be settled in my forever home now less then two years after retirement.

Ok, the time due to the apartment part in the middle makes sense. I’m in the middle of the moving process now. My stash is all prepped for travel, and about 98% of my built kits are packed up or already moved. BTW, that poly fill stuff from Hobby Lobby is excellent for that purpose. Thanks for the reference to that stuff.

SWMBO and other artists in the building where her studio is wanted me to display some models. Since "Art Crawl" (biggest art fest of the year) is this weekend, I brought a few to show. The Stryker will be there this weekend and the F/A-18 may get replaced by something else.

The Stryker is repaired. The award that I got for it fell onto it and broke two wheels. It was an easier fix than I thought it would be.

I see the irony in that - glad you got it fixed!

Well done and congratulations on the awards too. They will look great at the art fest.

Thanks guys! I'll post pics from the art fest on Monday.
