Nice happenings Stuart! Maybe if I get more work I'll have a couple more 'happenings' as well.

Wife just "stole" my decals from the mailbox. Said they'll be a good stocking stuffer.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Picked up a few things at Michigan Toy Soldier . Heard good things about the GX 100 Clear so picked that up. Needed to get some gull grey for my current Tomcat project.

I just wish the red was a bit closer to Insignia red.
Also picked up a dark grey (rubber?) weathering pencil for some experiments...

Those doors are impressive. I'm going to have to get a red pen at a minimum. Doing those doors is a pet peeve of mine.
Thanks,

I know HobbyTown in Clinton started carrying AK Interactive paint markers a couple months ago. Next time I head out there, I may pick up a couple colors ….or a few
