Your partner is doing a bit of work travel and is sick of the hassle of picking her black bag out of the many similar ones on the airport luggage carousel…. so you end up masking up a Tamiya primer grey line on the top and bottom of the bag to make it easier to find. 

I have not managed any traditional modelling in the last two weeks since finishing the Delphin submarine.

Partly I’ve lost my mojo on the 1.72 D9 bulldozer with that mould seam all around the tracks. It’s back to the cupboard for that one.

Prep for Model Expo in June is also underway, yes it is early but I don’t want to be rushing at the end.

First up was packing a few bags and boxes with models and books to sell.

After this was written I’ve had a good week of painting the KV1U19 barn version. Despite cold weather I managed two more coats today but it’s definitely a day time activity now.

About four or five thin layers thick now. I’ll be doing a thorough check all ovet before more painting is done. I may be able to paint the two lighter versions of 4BO to break up the paint appearance.

I have also dug out the Ekranoplane Lun from Takom in 1.144. I had done some basic cleanup but no major assembly as yet.
