Friday night purrs. #cats

Something different. Trumpeter 1/700 USS Franklin. The Measure 32 camo pattern looks to be a fun challenge. ##scalemodels

Realspace Models 1/24 Surveyor 3 with Apollo 12 crew completed. Fun build, but multiple delicate joints. 3d print with wire, tube, and plastic sheet. Cast resin base. ##scalemodels

Realspace Models 1/24 Surveyor 3. Replacement leg went on a side adventure via USPS, but finally arrived. Adding instruments to the frame. ##scalemodels

Happy Ella

Watching #cats

Realspace Models 1/24 Surveyor 3. Lots of small parts to paint. Dropped it while attaching the landing legs, breaking the hinges on one. Realspace will send a replacement. #scalemodels

Missy claimed my shirt. #cats

Its been a rough week. #Cats

New project underway. Realspace Models 1/24 Surveyor 3 with Apollo 12 astronauts. Mostly 3d resin prints with metal/ plastic wire and tube. #scalemodels

Admire my belly

Sunday loak. #cats

Happy #Autumn and #Spring #equinox

Revell 1/12 Gemini Astronaut completed, as Ed White. Replaced umbilical with 3/32" brass rod covered in gold confectioners foil for better support. Added details to capaule and made custom decals. #scalemodels 1/3

Sometimes you have to tell your gut to fuck off.

Progress on Revell 1/12 Gemini Astronaut. Gemini spacecraft base painted, decals test printed (doubling up with a planned Apollo 12 project). Window templates on paper and ready to start painting figures. #scalemodels

Evening #butterfly guests

I'm not a conspiracy theorist... Yes, you are and you sound as ridiculous as all the others.

Revell 1/12 Gemini Astronaut with Gemini base from the 1/6 kit. I used sheet, strip, and rod styrene to detail the hatch interior and capsule features around the hatch opening. I corrected the window coming, added retro connection cover, and hatch hinge plates.

Revell 1/12 Gemini astronaut. The joints tend to form a ridge and gap in a few spots, so filing and filling is needed to smooth them out. Gemini from a 1/6 kit penciled for extra details. #scalemodels

Hey, I'm trying to sleep. #Cat

62. There's a reason my wife and I get along so well.

Why the bed wasn't made. #Cat

Sunday afternoon nap

British Interplanetary Society Moon Lander, 1947 concept. Lunar regolith simulant on base. About 1/96 scale scratchbuilt. Clearcoat dulled the metal finish, but I can live with it. #scalemodels

BIS moon lander. Good progress today. Decals printed on white film. Drying before a clear coat. After sealing, will add clear epoxy to fill the portholes. Will add heat staining to thrusters and main engine bell. #scalemodels

BIS moon lander progress. Upper sections of landing gear attached and starting on lower struts. Slow and steady is the way. #scalemodels

That's the spot. #Caturday

Squirrel watching #Cat

British Interplanetary Society Moon Lander, c. 1947 version. Starting with an Estes model rocket nose cone. Will be roughly 1/96 scale. #scalemodels

Metal Earth 1/535 International Space Station. Three frets of photoetch parts. About 3 months of lunches to build. Really impressed by the engineering behind it. #scalemodels

Just tired

Profile, how-to.

Remembering Capt. James Lovell's space flights. Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8, and Apollo 13. All of them groundbreaking missions. #scalemodels #spacehistory #spollo

Today's #wildflowers 1/3

BlueTank 1/35 LVT(a)5 mostly done. Working on base using Maston matting I printed on 110 lb cardstock as a temporary road. Rest of base will get light texturing as beach sand. #scalemodels

BlueTank (ex-Nitto) 1/35 LVT(a)5 assembly completed. Next will be weathering and preparing a base. #scalemodels

54 years ago, Apollo 15 landed on the moon. My 1/48 model of CDR Dave Scott performing his standup EVA. #scalemodels #spacehistory

Adore me. #Cat

BlueTank 1/35 LVT(a)5. Tamiya lught gray primer. Ammo flat black and flat white used for preshading, then Ammo olive drab color coat. #scalemodels

Its a rough life. #Cat

BlueTank reissue of old Nitto 1/35 LVT(a)5. Picked up at a show when stash-clearing vendor that was giving away kits to people leaving when the show was over. Minor flash, noticeable mold lines and ejector pins. Good fit on the hull. Primed and ready for a coat of OD. #scalemodels
