Toss a chunk over here, bud. Anyone for ginger snaps? -

That's the one. Nice. 👍 -
Hollywood cranked out a Bogart film during the war titled "Action in the North Atlantic". It was a Murmansk bound convoy. My Father said the Army showed it to them just before the sailed to England in 1943.

Will this be that PRU Blue scheme? Will look cool. I'm in. -
Very nice, a kit-bash. I'm in, too.

EG, thanks for the pictures. I have some HO scale ALF close cab pumpers for car loads. They're resin kits. See the picture. Truck is maybe 2 inches long.

It is, Denis. Seeing the doc on Monday for an exam. Then, get lined up for the procedures in the New Year. Sorry to co-opt the log, OC.

I'm counting on it, gents. Feel like I've been cranking up the candle power of the lights to do any modeling work. Seems I need a light stand from Yankee Stadium for lighting. Been talking to buds who have had the work and they all rave about the improvements. Some report a yellowish coloration in the bad eye, since they have first one then the other repaired. It's supposed to be a quick procedure. Hope I don''t get saddled with a lot of restrictions.

Lots of detail in that cockpit. I had to look twice to make sure.

Good to hear, mate. I'm having some vision issues with cataracts. See my Medway Longboat log for more info. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/26404-medway-longboat-124-scale-by-canute/?tab=comments#comment-777604

Does your lamp, per chance, have a magnifier? The dimple in the middle, maybe? Or is it a the design feature? Almost never can have too much light.

Well, I'm bummed. I have cataracts in both eyes; been there for a few years. Been slowly getting worse and Friday it really was bad. I see the the eye surgeon Monday, so I'm on hiatus for a few weeks (I hope).

Looking very good. -
Not good, OC. Hope it's a quick bit to get a replacement.
-
Same goes for me, too, mate. Is it a bulb/lamp or is the whole gizmo kaput?
-
Sign me up. I could do up my HO scale version of a 50's pumper - Sylvan Scale Resin. They're going to be flatcar loads.
-
I'm with you there, Lou. Many of the ABDA leaders were pretty wishy-washy and they sent off any who showed signs of opposing their actions. Throwing away good combat forces in fruitless close convoy escorts and similar wasteful missions was downright criminal. Many brave men were lost doing them.

Kevin, good save on the church. The bell tower looks "right" now. 👍
-
Ekis, the ville has really come alive.. Well done, sir.👍

That he is, EG. His word is gospel for US subjects. No disrespect meant. The coffee hadn't taken full effect when I wrote that.😁

Over on the Steel Navy site, there is a WWII color shot of USS Yorktown, CV-10. New Essex class CV. Gives you a good idea of the colors of the era. Here's the link: https://members.boardhost.com/Warship/msg/1608359633.html Early SB2Cs (Helldiver) on the deck, too. Rick E Davis is an excellent archives student, digging out many nuggets of information.

Could also slide thin styrene strips into the gaps. Let dry overnight and gently reshape. Make sure you protect all the detail around it. Super glue can be tricky once it hardens. The surrounding plastic can be softer, so sanding can remove details.
