I have been really impressed with the postings over the past several weeks. Looks like folks have been both busy and very creative. A tip of the hat to all of you. It's a pleasure to be in the company of such creative artisans. I've have a lot to learn!!

I know there are lots of talented folks working in the "magic plastic world". But taking a piece of wood and turning it into a model somehow seems to be more magical to me.

And Lou: How do you complete so many, so quickly?

Not much magic in my shop. When the mood moves me I build several at the same time. It is just luck that they roll out at the same time. That is fortunate but not intentional. I am currently in a routine that I nap early morning and build most afternoons. Being retired has its perks.
One prime motivator is having SMM friends that join in the building fun. It is always better when more people are active. Thank you for posting.

Pushing on with the Vampire.

All the previous ones listed ones that are cut out remain so in their various locations.
I found another one the other day looking for something else.
A 1/48 Supermarine Southampton. Won't be getting to that for a while.

It is good to see the variety of models that are and have been produced.

Cheers
