Yep - it's certainly no fun out there at the moment. Best to just take care of the little part of the world you inhabit Bruce - that's all any of us can do.

I know the feeling. I decided to take a break away from watching Jesse Waters Primetime news for 2 weeks now. All they talk about is the Iran Conflict over and over. It gets to be monotonous after awhile. I'll keep track of the March Madness Tournament as much as I can and build models and watch Netflix.

Notes: I’ve built a two piece form from Bristol Board to serve as a buck for the instrument panel. Doing this brought to light that the cockpit opening is not quite right. If I make a “cut down” version of the deck I’ll have to make these adjustments. I’ll also have to add what’s visible behind the instrument panel which would be an oil tank and ammo feed boxes. And hide the toothpick. I’ll have to hide that, somehow.

Yup, me too!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
