Don’t know the extent of your injuries, but I had a painful rotary cuff tear a couple years ago. Despite thinking “I was ruined”, it healed without surgery. It did take months before I was close to feeling myself. I hope you have similar results.

The M10 was a frightening machine. Yes, under ideal conditions, it could knock out a Panther tank, but God bless the M10 crews. Yeah, it had a more powerful gun than the Sherman, but the turret was OPEN. Go cruising past German infantry and they could easily lob a potato masher grenade into...

I should wrap up my Tamiya M4A3E8 this weekend. Just a couple hours for finishing details. i already have my next project ready to go. When I started the Sherman, it was in honor of my wife’s uncle. We knew Al Snarski was awarded the Purple Heart when he “had his tank blown out from under...

I could go for a carrier build as well and Yorktown is a great subject. Alterntively, yesterday being the 80th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid, the Hornet with 16 B-25’s on the flight deck could be fun.

I hope to complete this over the weekend. Nice weather may delay that as the wife and I get some hiking in (and I just may get on the water for fly fishing). The Tamiya Sherman is pretty good and I have had no problem with fit. What is missing is interior details. I am convinced my next kit...

Thanks!

It’s been slow going as I have been bringing work home from the job in the evenings, but back to making some progress.

Tail of the Dragon does make other roads feel like straightaways in the desert. I am lucky to live an hour from it and will often wander that way and relax at Tapoco Lodge after a day of 318 curves in 11 miles. Perhaps try scale r/c aircraft modeling? The thrill of not dorking in a project...

I should be wrapping up my Tamiya M4A3E8 Sherman within a week or so. I want my next project to be a 1/35 M10. Tamiya makes what appears to be a nice kit but AFV Club’s M10 seems to include more interior details and a metal barrel with rifling. If I elect to build the Tamiya, I plan to...

Primed and ready for olive drab then detailing and weathering.
