They have to be watched. Caught red handed with the tweezers 

actually she did a decent job of the rigging.

And here we are contemplating mayhem. One good shove and it’s on the floor

 

Alan is that the Revell 1/72 Flower Class kit?  Apologies if I forgot that you built it, but it’s a nice model, wow!

Hi Mike, no this is the 1/48th scale 3D print from Benworx. I was impressed by the one made by @yvesvidal so I bought a 3D printer and set off on a voyage of discovery.

I’m trying to work out how to insert the link to my build log and failing so far

They lay in ambush under my dwarf Japanese Maple (Acer) right next to the bird bath waiting for a small song bird to stop for a drink/bath then leap up onto the bird bath. I've see 3 different feral cats 🐈 catch Sparrows, Finch, Nuthatches, et al. Repel All spray works sometimes but I finally had to purchase a couple rolls of Scat-Cat Mats from a garden supply and lay them out under the trees.  

That’s why my two are strictly indoor cats, that and they are long haired so they would be dragging half the undergrowth back into the house. Not to mention the wildlife might be more than a match for them, starting with the family of bobcats living behind the lake.

My problem is the tenants in the apartments on the street behind me and 3 houses to the east of me; they leave cans of cat food on their front stoop for the feral cats. So there's a whole colony of them in the woods across from the apartments. When my 3 Corgis were alive the cats would not come through our fence, even tho the Corgis just looked at them and sorta said "ho hum that must be a cat!  ho hum" and never gave chase.  We've tried for years to get the Town to do a "capture, neuter, release" but that seems to be above their intellectual capacity.

Oh wow, even cooler!  Hope you can figure out the linking - that seems like a cool model.  I remember Yves beautiful work.

 

I have the Revell 1/144 kit with the Pontos set, along with the 1/72 kit with the full David Parkins upgrades that someone here on MSW was building at one point.  I love the Flower Class corvettes - just want to get my skill level up to do the two kits justice!

Somehow your Iron Duke build skipped my attention, Alan. I have no idea, how you made it at that super tiny scale, but the finished ship looks fantastic. I guess, you need an eyeball massage now. I would never go beyond 1/350 and even that is very tiny, detail wise.
