Geoff - Continuing work on the Airfix 1/72 Handley Page 0-400, which is quite the bear! Mostly working on real world stuff like battening down the hatches for winter though.   Terry - some work on the Aldrin-class - mostly buffing paint at this point. I hope to get a good coat before masking and painting detail and panel colors. I did start one of Bandai’s Gamillon multi-deck carriers. It’s the four-deck Lambda carrier. *************************************** SPONSOR AD #2 Seans Custom Model Tools   *************************************** WHAT WE ARE READING Stuart - Yomu ebook reader Coming of Age in the Milky Way Geoff - 1978 39 volume series of Time/Life History of WW2 - incredible pictorial record of the war in detail, with well written histories. Dipping in and out of various volumes - fun times! Terry - Reading Ed Yong’s An Immense World, now into hearing. Blue Whales may correspond across the entire planet. Started another graphic novel series, Preacher by Garth Ennis. Maybe in the same universe as Lucifer and Constantine, I haven’t figured that out yet.   *************************************** THINGS WE’VE SEEN Chris Meddings A-20   XP-72 ;build *************************************** THE LAST WORD SMP Ep. 129 is also sponsored by Return To Kit Form (R2KF).
