Thanks so much, Mark.
I’ve been away, managing two broken teeth. Actually, I know you know that because we texted about this. Contact with you, and the promise of spending a hobby day at the hall keep the flame of modeling alive when the winds of time begin to blow.

This and the MPC X-Wing are sitting on the shelves right now. Not forgotten. Just waiting for a certain spark or sparks to fly again.

Isn’t Hobby Day on the weeeknds?"Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."

Dental issues can be trying…hope you are doing okay. Get on it and see if you can get a spark going.
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!"..
Re: Revell H-291 by speedgraflex
We know it too well Bruce; It’s not always easy, not just to find the spark, but to keep it sparkling as well!speedgraflex wrote: ↑Fri Apr 11, 2025 4:47 pm This and the MPC X-Wing are sitting on the shelves right now. Not forgotten. Just waiting for a certain spark or sparks to fly again.
Time helps!

Yes it is, but we also have them every Monday afternoon from 1:00PM to 10:00PM. It is a tremendous help for me in getting things done.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Mon Apr 14, 2025 9:19 amHobby Day tomorrow?Duke Maddog wrote: ↑Mon Apr 14, 2025 2:08 am Bring them to Hobby Day tomorrow; I'm certain a spark will light up there!

I wonder when the figures I have sent might arrive at yours Bruce....
Hoping further one of them might fit or if you can make them fit. Let's see.

Re: Revell H-291 by speedgraflex
Gentlemen, Thank you for your replies and support here which mean so much to me! Not simply this place, our little forum clubhouse here, but for all of your messages online, too. And yes, yesterday was a Hobby Day. I wasn’t there but the Saints did release a video starring the Duke who yesterday hit a major milestone.
1800 completions.
1800 built kits, not counting what he built as a wee lad by the side of a ditch or wherever Wee Lad Duke built models.
That’s a sum worth celebrating.
I’d settle for one this year. Just one.
Lets see.
Marius, I’m collecting image reference for painting the pilot figure you are so graciously sending my way. I can’t wait to begin. Greetings to you from the United States.
Thanks to one and all.
Happy Tax Deadline to all U.S. citizens.
