Here in Ct. looks like we've just finished getting clobbered by blizzard Charlie. What a joy! And its a balmy 14 degrees F. All I know is I'm not going out in this.The advantage of having your brother-in-law store his plow and sander and snowblower in your garage.After me and the wife get done working on the fish tank I think I'll start on my White Scout Car.

Where I am in Iowa, we just got a dab from the storm that is socking you guys out east. We got hit hard with the last one a couple of weeks ago though.

Today, like any other, I am in the machine shop trying to catch up on customer orders and dreaming about starting my next figure!

Early I packed some eBay sells to ship tomorrow, then I listed a couple of more things. Burning few DVD's .. you know making legal backup of copies I already own. ;-) Had a big brunch so now I'm setting by the fire watching a more movie. Might go out to studio later and work on some more models. Right now I'm going to go get more wood for the fire.

Exciting huh?

Hi, Luckily we didn't get hit this time by the snow like the northeast did. Lots of luck up there there guys.

Spending a lot of the day working on Trumpeter
s Morser Karl kit The week ends are about the only time I get to sit down and do some sort of serious modeling it seems. And even though Mother Nature has run me out of the garage for the time being an am basically stuck on a little TV tray in the back room, it's better than nothing. Also been doing some serious reading too on "Dreadnought" by Rober K. Massie..

Take care, Sgirty

I'm watching the guys dig their cars out from both sides of my truck..... when they pull out, I'll put her in 4 wheel drive and work myself out without digging, then have the super plow all the spots clear tomorrow......... I'm off, and have no need to get out today or tomorrow.
On the modelling front, started a figure for the FOM thingy....
Arthur is my inspiration, but with out the Ale..... :-) :-) :-)
and maybe a little work on an undisclosed Heavy Hauler entry.

Dave, you started a figure for FOM? What scale? You must be fast to be able to knock out a fig in 7 days?
