Going bald

Many yrs ago, someone informed me that I had a bald spot at the top rear of my head. I told them I didn’t care about it since there really wasn’t anything I could do about it.

Upon getting home, I … [Read more...]

Started this kit tonight, took less than 2 hours to get this far. Braced the interior walls, primed the exterior walls with gray primer. Dry brushed on the green paint, put some “white” on a sponge and splotged / textured the green paint, weathering it. Glued on acetate onto the interior walls over the window areas. Somehow, in the last several kits I started putting the acetate on the interior … [Read more...]
