First time using QuintaStudio products and must say that they're very nice and highly detailed.

I'm usually a big fan of doing the hand painting, but these are very good.

Tomcat is coming to life at a good rate.

Hey gang!

Sorry for the absence. Life has had its series of ups and downs this last 18 months and it was definitely time for a mental reset.

Back in December I decided it was time to trade in building model airplanes for flying real ones. After nine months of studying, dedicated effort and tons of time in the air, I'm officially a pilot.

I've missed being at the work bench, but plan on getting back into the swing of things very soon!

Hope you've all been well, and look for some updates in the very near future.

Stay well.

Had an amazing opportunity at work recently to create a model of the most recognized C-130 on the planet, the legendary Fat Albert. I was invited to present the model to the Blue Angels at their end of the year ceremony on Nov 11 in Pensacola. "Boss" Capt. Kesselring (Blue Angel 1) and Maj. Huckeba (Fat Albert lead pilot) unveiled it at this ceremony and it was a great honor to be apart of this amazing opportunity and to meet so many great folks with Blue Angels, both past and present. This 25th scale 'Bert' is now on full time display at the Blue Angels hangar at NAS Pensacola.

Hey gang,

Sorry for the hiatus. Life has not been ideal lately and I've been struggling to find the interest to get back to the things that bring me joy. That being said, sometimes it's those things that pull us out of the dark days.

So I've embarked on this T-45 that's sat in my stash for several years.

It's not dazzled out with tons of flair and extras, but it's admittedly felt good just gluing stuff together again and getting out of my own head for a spell.

Hope you've all been well and as always, thanks for sticking around to see what creative mess comes from me next.

It may have won several battles, but I'm happy to say... I won the war.

There was admittedly a lot of frustration in this build. Although I'm typically always very thorough in my build process, I feel like this old girl didn't even really allow many opportunities to shave off any time. Despite it all, I'm happy with the outcome.

She's a bear to photograph due to her sheer size, but I did the best I could to try to capture the parts I was most proud of.

Enjoy!

Lot of small progress leading to big progress. Rigged the trailing edges of the wings, spent entirely too long bonding plastic to metal while building the gear and installed all the fiddly bits to the canopy. Time to dress these gear up and then start slapping this thing together.

Clear plastic is boring...

Punched out some replacement turret lenses from iridescent acetate, fixed them in place and leveled the lense by adding some kristal klear. Once it hardens and dries, it looks quite more exciting than the original parts.
