Fithy! Just the way I like 'em! Looks like a very successful mojo-resurrection.

Thanks gents. Dirty is good in my world.
Funny, looks like right now P-bucket is down, all I see are "broken link" icons and I can't get on to my album. Schweet.

Thanks Andy. Still needs a fixer, then final pastels, then liquid stains. Gotta paint up Karl-Heinz too.

Thanks dupes. I was a little concerned that I may have over-done it, but I think I managed to restrain myself just in time. |

So I woke up at 0:dark thirty this morning, and rather than sit on the couch and watch the idiots recite the police report, I did some lights, fronts still need lenses but rears finished:   And because I now think Leos are cool, I grabbed this at King's in Austin on Tuesday, just couldn't help myself, and it was only $20:  |

Only 20 bucks for a new-tool Leo? Steal!

In full view! I think that's one of the cool things about real, local hobby shops, finding cool models from other peoples' collections on consignment. And that is a new-tool kit? I didn't know, but thought it looked pretty good when I peeked in the box before grabbing it up.
Shameless plug time: Every time we get to Austin, I make a point of visiting King's Hobbies. They're well-stocked both with kits and books, and normally have a nice selection of AM stuff too. But the big attraction for me is the consignment shelves. I also grabbed an Esci boxing of a Magach6 for $15, straight to the parts shelf, and a bunch of Eureka tow cable sets, mostly Merkava, for $5 each. Score!
Disclaimer: I have absolutely no financial connection to King's, other than spending all my piggy-bank money there every chance I get.

My green wonder board? It's kinda bright, but parts sure stand out on it..... So, aside from maybe some camo nets in the turret storage bins, the model's done, and I have a base started.....    |
