I have an old boxing of this kit, it’s really not bad! Minor fit issues and plenty of seams to clean up but I have faith it’ll turn out alright.

Things not going quite to plan with the 7-11 Mustang, as it turns out this Indycals decal set is frigging translucent 😡 yeah, I probably should’ve touched up the paint first, but it was all blend areas that would get covered under a set of good decals.

Masking held up much better on one of these than the other 👀 thankfully most of the bad spots will get covered in decals 🙏

Swore off aircraft for awhile after dealing with a horrid Revell kit, but I’m getting the itch again. Have a couple in mind (and in the stash) for when the Mustangs are done.

Neither has as cool of a scheme as this ICM MiG though, which I finished up for Christmas in 2022.

“CTGB” house band playing Marquee Moon

Not usually into cover bands, but when you pair the best of NYC Proto-punk and New Wave with an appearance by half of Talking Heads, welp, you got me

7 years ago today: second time in my life I got to swig from GBV’s communal tequila bottle. Met a delightfully drunk Mark Shue and talked lineup changes with Doug Gillard after the show!

Once again I purchased way more kits in 2024 than I finished. Woops 😅

The Y-Wing wasn’t a full 2024 build either, I started it years ago for a diorama then just…lost interest when it was 99% complete.

Hopefully I can wrap up those two Mustangs before January 🤞

For a ~41 year old kit the interior wasn’t bad, but it did require some clamps or jigs to dry correctly.

Plastic warped a bit with age. Engines really came to life with detail painting and some wires too.

Seriously it’s been hours of this

Gonna make sure my next several models have little to no masking after this craziness.

I’m seeing Tamiya yellow tape when I close my eyes now
