Hehe...that would be my goofy dog Chloe. She kept trying to get in the shot so i figured what the heck. She's always down there with me :).

Hi,

That's a black labrador, is it not. Goofy you say. We have just got a 3 month old female black labrador.....totally nuts come the evening. Did you have the same experience with Chloe. Incidentally, ours is called Cleo.....

Yours, in the ruff!

Yours only goes nuts in the evening? Your lucky! :heh: Mine is about 7 years old and she is still a big goof. Friendly animal, very loving and loyal but she seems to think she is a lap dog and not a 65lb Lab.

This is WAY off topic, but I have to ask. Do your Labs have a "thing" about bees and wasps? Ours, a three year old Lab/Boxer mix, goes nuts when she sees one and will aggressively hunt them and has learned how to kill and even eat them, usually without getting stung. Darnedest thing I've ever seen!

Hey Jim,
yes it´s the ADLER/FALKE kit, comes along in the 72nd and yes, its a fine kit indeed!
As a resin kit it takes its time, but it´s a very, very nice subject, to be rendered out of a beautiful cast.
I am just about to discover my love for all these (pre)WWI aircraft, tanks and ship stuff.
I bought the kit at the Oberschleissheim show, May this year, and finally my bench is ready to built it.

The model made by the owner of WMM, Peter Plattner. Just gorgeous!

I cant help myself, somehow i more and more find my self involved in kind of big scale endevours...:-)
Just love to try all those techniques and methods.

First off after 25 yrs in the Navy you get use to working in small spaces! On my right hand side is a foot rest that I set stuff on. Plus I have a work/drawer bench in the basement to stow stuff too. When I need things I just bring it up from the basement. I airbrush in the basement. I have a nice little station set up down there.

Well, after finally settling down here in the Philippines I finally established a somewhat cozy little nook within which to ply my hobby. Of course, I spend most of the time using it for real WORK related projects.

Overall, it is comfy and allows a nice escape from the nuttiness that surrounds me.

"Secured for Sea" I see. Very nice. What is the make/model of the pressure pot? I'd like to get a little more into pressure casting as ambient pressures produce too many bubbles for me. Of course, finding anything like that out here will be like looking for hen's teeth I'm afraid.

MAIL CALL!!!
