Since the Learjet departed our facility, I've had some time to actually sit down and do stuff--like start clearing out the model backlog on the workbench. I'm Happy to report that I've had some success at doing so, and once I get some stuff completed, you'll get the full report right here.
Meanwhile, we're hitting the e-books at work--the FAA requires a certain amount of recurrent training every year. With the lull, I decided to get mine done and over with. There's nothing like sitting for several days listening to presentations on Human Factors, Lockout/Tagout procedures, HAZMAT, and the like. It keeps everyone happy, so in the end it is worth it. I'm also lobbying for more specialized training this year, too--I'm a firm believer that you can't get enough training.
I wish I had more to report, but in all honesty I started spend some time at the workbench, and before I knew it I had one airplane done, another painted and is now getting decals, and a third ready for paint. Along with those, the StuG is really making progress now, and I found myself converting a 1996 NASCAR Monte Carlo kit--Monogram's early round-sided kit--into Dale Earnhardt's 1996 car from the Winston All-Star race. When I originally bought the kit and decal sheet, it looked to be simple enough--until you research it out and discover that the actual car had the slab sides. Oh, well, some sheet plastic, Bondo, and Squadron White putty solved that dilemma...
Stay tuned. I'm on a roll, and want to keep the momentum going. I'll be at the workbench...
Be good to one another, and I bid you Peace.
