PCBs off to the hazardous waste processing facility. Or the nearest ravine. Whichever is closer. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Window replaced and promptly got a crack in the new one. #albertaadvantage

Working on some accessories. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Gotta figure the crazy of the USA should help with international attendance at the games in Canada.

I sure hope “elbows up” Carney doesn’t bend to recent US moves to reduce vehicle fuel efficiency standards. If the US automakers start building cars that don’t meet Canadian standards, then they shouldn’t be sold here.

Elf on the Shelf was just “the man” pre training you to accept the police and surveillance state.

Or the US will just cowardly bomb some concrete things and claim a great success. Seriously small dick energy coming from down there.

Civil war, a refuge crisis for Columbia to deal with, an insurgency, likely many dead US service persons, no chance to secure “the oil”. Not to mention the loss of any remaining US goodwill. Really dumb Americans elected some really dumb leaders and I sure hope this works out for you.

Taking in some Oil Kings hockey and feeling nostalgic for when my boy used to play the game.

Loved his show. I think it’s where I learned my first cooking skills. I would argue he started the simple food, simple ingredients, TV food trend of the early 2000’s. Jamie Oliver owes him biggly IMO.

Did a bit last evening and today. Wicked in some matte medium and when it sets I can then clean up the PE and other messes. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Hey scale modeling community! Do those long needle like CA applicators actually work? I need to up my CA game in a big way. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

So my girl has started to experience what can happen in “the clubs” and as a result she kicked some groping dirtbag so hard he fell over. Proud dad.

There has always been two types of conservative in Alberta. The ones who are reasonable, and don’t see anything abnormal about working with Canada, and the conspiracy brained rest. May this all result in nothing but difficulties for the lot of them. #ableg #abpoli

Might come as a surprise to Americans but a lot of us are trying to figure out what to have for dinner.

Some scratch building to make up for the missing parts as the kits came with 6 of sprue B, and 0 of sprue A. Wheels were pre assembled by the late Mr Wheatley. Also scratching in a million tiny pilot holes so I can locate the billions of tiny tie down points. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

I’ve seen some people comment that this is “fascist”. That’s just dumb. Most places in the world offer a locals discount to their attractions and I don’t have a problem with that. Canada should do this as well to relieve pressure on our parks.

Had to cobble together a roof from the selection. I found a bonus aftermarket PE kit for the M113 amongst the winnings from the auction, so I decided to take off most of the surface detail. PE hell awaits. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

How it started vs how it’s going. The previous owner of these M113s hulls was in the process of creating some kind of extended Israeli version. I’m more inclined to build them as Canadian vehicles so it’s off to the chop shop for a bit of scale model stress relief. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Brown bottles brought to you via colour theory. Additionally: There is no stronger force in the universe than the force that binds Tamiya clear colour lids to the bottles. #scalemodels

Blowout win so far.

Team Zohran.

Happy to see this continue today. Lots of bad people are involved in this house of cards and I wish nothing but the worst.

The strangest product available to scale model makers. Other than turning gloss paints flat I’m still figuring out what to do with it. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

I hope so. May the losses pile up.

I’m all for the death of Bitcoin and crypto in general. AI, Online gambling, MAGA, despots, child sex trafficking and multiple other bad things are all tied together with crypto and the sooner it dies the sooner the rest of the cards fall.

Added some graffiti of my own to the local cafe bathroom. Gen Z types might find it triggering.

At least we are narrowing the list of who gladly protects pedophiles.

Ive been working on ways to keep flat things flat and glossy things glossy. And dirty things dirty and clean things clean. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Every day some new Trump insult to human dignity. I’m going to pop so much champagne the day “it” finally happens.

Yeah would be good to do something about excessive window tint as it makes it impossible to have eye contact with the driver. #yeg #yegcc @michaeljanz.bsky.social

Current status of the C130. Sitting here with another coat of Tamiya Mark-Fit on the decals. All the decal solution to get them to lay over the raised panel lines. Clear coat tonight to seal them in: set or not. Then an attempt at panel lines and weathering. #heaviesGB #histscalemodels

That’s no goal!

HeRe CoMe ThE OiLeRs! #oilers

The fellow had some ideas that’s for sure. I think someone out there might be missing a Bradley turret, and I think another guy is missing his Academy M113 interior. #scalemodels #histscalemodes

Now that’s a shiner. Rural Alberta style.

The auction haul. These are some of the mystery kits with so many surprises. Loads of extra parts stuffed in the boxes. Unfortunately some of the mystery kits were already started including some questionable modifications; but still worth the money. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

New technique alert! (At least to me) Dab on some slightly diluted matte medium and sprinkle in your rust pigments before chipping. Creates that bubbly paint kind of rust. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Progress on the ZIL. Needed to take out some of my mad painting styles before I get back to the C130 for #heaviesGB Vallejo “Smoke Ink” is a very useful colour for creating the appearance of engine oil and grime. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

All outside jobs 100% done. It can now hit -30 with tons of snow and stay that way until March if need be. I’m ready.

So sorry Americans have to go through all of this. I recently did battle with the insurers for my home and car insurance and it was a total nightmare despite no claims for over 30 years. Can’t imagine going through that but it’s life or death.

It did work. Very subtle but it did work. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Went crazy at the scale model auction. A fine fellow passed away and left his estate with hundreds of scale models to deal with. (I suppose that is the eventual fate of all of us. Build em if you got em!) Pick up on Wednesday and I expect a few surprises. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

A murderous regime. Imagine if any nation was doing this to Americans.

Last RT was a very deep if you know you know.

Family!

First you die from hypothermia, then your friends enjoy the warm beer left wrapping your corpse.

Can we just go back to the baseball again? Those were fun times.

My strangest request yet: Anybody in Philadelphia know a decent barber where a stylish young man can get his hair cut? Nothing fancy, just the usual cut that the young men seem to fancy. Near Rittenhouse down to south street and maybe as far as 8th. #philadelphia #philly

So tired of hearing about ostriches. (Niche Canadian post)
