The bad-guy starfighters from my sci-fi universe - K'nat, Terrox and Triak starfighters all in 1/32 scale.

Happy Birthday to the Civil Air Patrol! I was a Mitchell cadet, an aircrew Scanner, an Aerospace Officer, and a Squadron Commander in my long volunteer career.

Have a cool, original sci-fi model to look at. It's a Skimmer and it's featured in my novel, Starstrikers.

My family thinks I'm nuts, but my favorite post Thanksgiving lunch are turkey and cranberry sandwiches.

Had an emergency toothache operation yesterday, so mixed in some applesauce with the morning oatmeal. Not bad!

My CAP days are behind me now. Fun times as a Scanner in the back of a C-185.

Good morning, Boise!

Wings are going on the Skimmer model. Skimmers are featured in my novel, Starstrikers. They are like jet fighters in that they are restricted to atmospheric planets.

Me as a pirate, when the kids were little. Good times. Happy Halloween!

If you don't want to be called a Nazi, then stop doing Nazi things. The Greatest Generation of Americans bombed the fuck out of the Nazis. It was called WWII.
