SPA Modeler

Sorry it's been a long time. I'm just working long hours, but I still get time at the bench.
I have still been working on the Akagi. There's still not much new to see. I'm getting two more carrier plane sets from China (those little buggers were almost impossible to find a few months back) which will fill my complement of deck aircraft, and them some.
I'm also waiting for the last of the portholes to come in (I hope the last) and now working on the crew, somewhere over 200. Unfortunately, many of the 3D printed figures have broken feet. The microscopic ankles on those guys are very delicate.

I like the new set I got from Tory Factory very much. They are easy to work with, paint and remove. I just wish they came in more poses.

IJN crew is still very hard to find.


And, my wife got this for my birthday, which is still a couple week away. She got me something else but won't show me, infact she's hiding this so one I don't open it until then.
I got myself something special as well, but it won't show up until Jan sometime.

two hundred crew? Yowser. Superlatives fail me right now. I can't put on my underwear without holding on to a dresser. Wow.

I think they look good, i can't see them....

Them guys are very tiny but look so much better than flat PE
