I think Chris meant to type "P.I.T.A.", lol

Yes and no. We quite often drop the "the" in this part of the world.

Teach me to simply assume things about language - apologies.

Haven't read any Solzhenitsyn for a very, very long time and I wasn't aware of that one. Cheers Tophe

Sanding again, putty again...

Sometimes, but only sometimes PSR can be strangely relaxing if you get into a rhythm with it.

With a mask on my face I do not breath easily and it is not comfortable... $:-\$

That's a lot of dust Tophe. Glad you are sensible and wear a mask

Tophe · August 11, 2019, 09:26:30 AM

Yes thanks.

And PSR again... $:-\$ :

Next sanding, and the result is almost acceptable: (I may go on perhaps)

I run out of sly blue paint finishing my TF-51D model recently, so I am using the paint inside the P-51D Heller kit, and the "Matt Trainer Yellow" seems good for a weird thing with kinda wings (not an airplane exactly)... I am starting the paint step:

Close to completion. I will let the legs and "wings" black, paint the canopy black (except yellow frames).

The skorpio-like thing/animal/machine got legs and eyes:

Thanks ericr, you know: even if I don't pay a ericr-Copyright, this model is very inspired by your collection "airplanes/animal/machines/tools mixes", so inspiring!

The walking banana ?

Tophe · August 25, 2019, 06:59:54 AM

Thanks for this idea!

But the "model" was not finished and turns more to a machine with propellers now on:

Tophe · August 25, 2019, 07:10:17 AM

With bigger spinners and kinda wings, the "thing" is finished!

other angle, more aggressive? (does it bite? or spit fire?)
