Hey peeps. Just a quick note to say I've been hiding. I've had a bad week with my depression, spent all day Tuesday and Thursday in bed and just had a hard time finding any motivation to get myself up and about. Feeling a little better now, but still am feeling the edge of depression pushing on me, so I'm still fighting the downturn. Karen's...

Hello all. I have finished the Battlestar Galactica model. It was not a complicated build, but it did teach me a few things, especially about the airbrushing process. The decals were extremely thin and fragile and I had a hard time with them, but finally got them placed.

Next up is a small project which will lead to a larger one overall. Back to a

I hope you are all doing well today, and this week was good. And I hope all of you are safe and healthy.

The protests around the world are continuing, and something obviously needs to be done. We need police to be better integrated into the community and not to be a militant force. On the other hand, I recognize what the police face with...

So what's on the old agenda today? Well, Karen's on conference calls the entire day, literally from 9:00 to 5:00 back to back. I really need to vacuum and do a load of laundry. But most importantly (to me, at least) I am working on my next model. But first, I have finally finished the 2001: A Space Odyssey space ship Discovery.

As you can

I hope today is good for you all and is a great start to your week. And I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I myself had a tough one, but hoping to restart to a better week today. With that in mind, I want to highlight a few ladies who are amazing and have sets that you should take a look.

@refox is my...

I'm feeling better today, my stomach was really upset yesterday. But all better today. It's not hot today actually rather nice, except for the humidity. It's been raining a bunch so the humidity's really high. We've been running the air conditioning, but not enough to clear the humidity in the house.

The model is on to the next stage. I'm about to start putting it...

So what will this model look like anyway? @okkatana and @emeralda asked. Here's what it looks like now.

And here's what it hopefully will look like when I've finished:

We will see. Currently I'm laying on the sofa not feeling well. Hopefully this will pass soon.

Love to you all. **MWAH**

Today I am starting on the bigger pieces of the current model I'm working on, the big ship Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's going to be 41" long overall, and I have no idea where I'm going to put it when I'm done! :-D It's gratifying to start to see the pieces coming together after a few weeks working on the small pieces....

I hope you are all doing really well and having a great day today. I wanted to bring up a couple of amazing ladies that I adore and thought you might like also.

@emeralda is an absolute cutie. She is the sweetest thing and has such an amazing smile. You should really check out her debut set Now I'm Ready. It's gorgeous and shot...

The paints came in late yesterday, so I'll be able to do more with that. I've been assembling some pieces the last few days. Man, these are small bits. I put 24 parts together (with 5 pieces each) and all 24 of these assembled parts fit in a small condiment cup. Like I said, small parts. But I have more to go. I should get...

Had to check to make sure I had the day correct. Poor sleep last night left me sleeping late and not feeling great this morning. Yes, I'm still working on a model. I had to take a break from painting since I ran out of the color and I had to order it. Instead I've started assembling parts of it, which is requiring lots of...
