Bruce, I like how that airframe is coming together. One question- it’s still an airframe if it’s a biplane, right? Anyway, I’m digging it so far. Especially since you’re following your heart on it.
Carlos, you’re doing good work on that camel. She’s progressing nicely as well.

Great seeing your progress, Carlos! You are a wizard with plastic card. Looks like you feathered in a strip piece with glue. Is that your technique?
Ken! Beyond words. Thank you for your friendship.

Yes; no tool excuses for sloppy drilling. Those handles are sweet.

Basically you described the plot of a vintage “blue movie,” so yea, perfect. Did I just stray off topic? Remember in “The Getaway” the moment when McQueen crushes the model he was building in the joint because he can’t stand being inside anymore? Yea. COVID, baby. Get me outta here now.
