Geoff - had the grandkids for the weekend and did two”weekend builds” with two of them (the third wanted to draw). One grandson chose the ancient Revell 1/72 PT 109 and my granddaughter chose the even more ancient Revell Nautilus nuclear submarine. He wanted a more realistic scheme, but she wanted pink, purple, red and yellow…! A lot of fun! Terry - No changes. Not much progress. Doing plenty of yard work now, spring is springing. Brent - Not much time for things, Ultra 7 ship from Hasegawa. UltraHawk.  A couple of busts, including a Keatan Batman. Both sculptures by Jeff Yeager   *************************************** WHAT WE ARE READING Stuart - Nada Geoff - really just either too busy or too exhausted to focus on reading, but looking forward to doing so soon! Terry - Finished Baxter’s Moon Seed. I think I like this the best of the trio. Now I’m reading Adam Rutherford’s A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived. It’s a few years old, but highly regarded. It examines the history of humans via our DNA. I’m also still reading The Apothacary Diaries novels in the background. Brent - Auto Biography Geddy Lee from Rush. Salem’s Lot by Stephen King *************************************** THINGS WE’VE SEEN Omask e-shop, foam masks for wheel bays, intakes etc Reskit with another massive number of new items, 174 on its FB post. Lots of figures, arms, carrier deck accessories etc. Squadron Models TOS Enterprise colors. Tony Wootson’s Mosquitocon report.
