Title: November 2023 Ping
Post by: lastvautour on November 03, 2023, 01:57:36 PM
The forum saw 11 new topics, 108 posts, and 65,957 views. These numbers are on par with pre-COVID data.
The gallery saw just over 50,00 views for a total of 4,377,122.

Four new models were added to the yearly build.

Greatly reduced activities for November. Currently on the bench:
1/144 Vickers Wellington - awaiting application of decals and construction of the undercarriage.
1/144 AgustaWestland CC-295 Kingfisher - final painting of red panels and deicing boots. Decals have been received.
1/72 Lockheed Lodestar - no progress
1/32 Cadillac Deuce - wheels, engine block, and cab attached to the frame. Next, the box.

Several drawings have been printed, however, I have little interest in starting anything new projects.

 Greetings all.

 I'm still around. Slowly getting things organised.
 The annual scale model show is on this weekend.
 Not putting anything in .
 Going with my son. Should be something worthwhile at the swap and sell and the usual vendor
 Displays.

 Have done a "little" bit more on the DH-71.

 Hopefully next year back in full swing.

 Stay safe all.


 Cheers

 Gordon
