Stay safe Craig! I'm not liking the reports we're seeing up here ! This thing seems to be wobbling all over the place. -
They're saying worst in a century

I think I'll take this over that. A Buffalo Lake Effect 6 footer is preferable Kidding aside, everyone stay safe. Prayers are with you.

It's now a Category 5 with sustained winds of 160 mph. Everyone stay safe.

He has not responded to any of my emails or PMs. I do know his house is on high ground and he has a Generax auxiliary generator so he has electric, but the Internet service in that area down. I'm sure between his Air Force training and his experience in Emergency Management in NJ he's pretty prepared but still that storm wiped out some cities and towns in that area

I don't know about shaky hands but those figures look pretty darn good to me. I like your coiled rope jig also. Ship is looking really good, Andrew

Talk to your optician anyway. They may have a simple solution. Nothing to lose by asking.

Before you do that, I would wait until you actually get your new glasses, then take one of your figure pieces with you to your doctor's appointment and discuss your vision issues with him/her. When the doctor has the physical figure in front of him, seeing its actual size and how you hold it to paint, he can recommend ways to continue painting without straining you eyes or your financial budget. You're too good a modeler to give up just yet.

Latest news from NBC said dam is okay and not failing but evacuees advised to not return until state of emergency is lifted. Dam is on the North Carolina- Tennessee border, town is in Tennessee

It's there now on your last post

News reports say storm surge of 15-20 feet in Big Bend area of Florida, that's a small tsunami! Glad you came thru relatively unscathed, Craig.

Yep, rode both of them back in 1977. Fantastic ride and scenery as well

Hmm! Seems like a dandy fellow 🤔 I'm in !

I use a WeCheer micro drill which has a corded and non-corded version (I have both) which takes all the Dremel collets and micro drills.

I don’t believe there are any walnut hull planks as the hull is designed to be painted. You can check my build log, link is in my signature below, but I think the second planking uses the same wood strips as the first. Been 7 plus years since I built mine so my memory is s bit fuzzy. Update : there is some very nice walnut/mahogany colored super thin veneer wood in the kit for the 2nd planking, also some thin walnut strips for the coaming. The veneer is about 0.5 mm thick.

I believe you can still download the instructions et al directly from Artesania Latina's website. It's been 7 plus years since I built mine so don't remember. @LadyG Check HERE

Outstanding! And you nailed the eyes, whites with dark pupil! 👌 Everything looks great.

Remember! "Those who can, do; those who can't, criticize":

But it's easier than learning to knit 😉😊😁😇

Re: whites of eyes. An old trick I learned in woodcarving was to take a modest sized pin, or standard wood toothpick, touch it to white paint, pick up small amount, then touch it to the part of the eye you want to be white. You can use the same technique for the highlight on the iris/pupil. Take a wee bit of practice but it does work.

It is well worth a visit, the aircraft collection is impressive as are the weekend air shows. I see their sightseeing plane over fly my house a lot.

That Albatros is a reproduction of the original. The Aerodrome painted that pattern in 1:1 scale, see Albatros D.Va story Nice results on yours Alan. Nice work on the helmut too, it looks nicely pitted. 👌
-
Nice work ! And great photography! Alan is right, they look like a real train car.
