Banshee II is coming along nicely, Glen. Working in that scale is no longer an option for me. Arthritis in my hands.

I got some of those ants in a load of mulch for the house. Nasty buggers, those fire ants. Took 3 trips from the exterminator to eliminate that Blankety-blank problem. They were heading down the hill towards the neighbors.

Congrats, Brad. Very well done by you and the club.

Oh, it's always O-beer- thirty.

That she has. I've heard the names/words before, but now I know where they go. Thanks a bunch, Toni.

Well done, Peter. 👍

About the paints, write down your formulae for drop counts, if you mix that way. Put a sticky label on the bottle, with that drop count. 😉

That scene is well appreciated up here in the normally cool mountain of western North Carolina. We're high 80s/low 30sC today, other parts of the eastern US are well into the 90s/mid 30s. I spent the weekend in northern Alabama. where it was a juicy 96F/35C with high humidity, making for a very bad Heat Index.. The diorama looks great.

Gary, nice work with all the decals. You might want to use distilled water for decalling. Tap water may have "extra" ingredients that can affect the process. A gallon jug is a dollar or so at your local pharmacy.

Looks great, Rob. The tank and exhaust polished up beautifully. Sorry about the chain issue; white metal just doesn't seem to be the best choice. The stuff is notoriously brittle. Glad you've overcome that issue.

Might try vacuuming the keyboard to get any dust and such off the 'board.

Cross-eyed yet? 😁

No rush, Peter. It's a hobby, not a job. 😄

Understand the creaky back. Occupational hazard of a former job for me.

Good looking SLUF, Phil. 👍

Good save on the signage.She's looking good. 👍

Excellent job on your paddlewheel.

Like John said, the bow fender looks very good. Used tires in N scale? Small O rings could fill the bill. I don't know if you can get separate tires in N. I need to consult my N gurus, probably tomorrow. Your dicing of the styrene tubing should work.

Very nice progress to date. 😄

Ras, you may want to look at Tamiya German Gray, a Gunship Gray or possibly NATO Black. They're more of a charcoal gray, so you don't suck all the light out of your object.

Congratulations on a job well done. 👍

Phil, that color is pretty close to the belly color on most Viet Nam era jungle camo paint jobs, It's too light for the later Ghost Gray schemes, though. Coming along nicely.

This era of ships is one I keep coming back to for study. The blockade runners are ones I know little about. Lead on, Glen.😄

Nicely done, Papa.

WAK doesn't seem to be a kit company for the noobies.

How's that trip down the rabbit hole going, Greg. You might need another prime mover.

Looks like more of an eggshell/satin, Gary.

Nicely done, EG. That's a lot of back and forth, making these design changes. Will love to see this as a 3D print model. The various branches of the model building world is adding products almost daily.

Phil, we are here to help. 😄 The SLUF was the jet I wanted to fly after I got my pilot's wings. The AF chose another career path for me. 😉

That model came loaded with weaponry in use in the late 60s/early 70s. Very nice. My Phantom had 4 Sparrow radar missiles and the nose mounted cannon. Pretty bare bones.

Nice work on the antennas and sensors.
