Hi Everybody,

My first Ping!

1. Finish painting and basing the P40 Warhawk.
2. Build a retro spaceship from a craftstore basswood egg. Inspired by the Guillows Rocket Ranger plan here on the site.
3. Build Kling's Racer using the plan on this site. The scale will be whatever size the plan comes off the printer.
4. Finish off a 1/96 waterline model of the steam tug Taurus. Its a kit but it has a solid bass wood hull!
5. Organize myself and my workshop so it doesn't take me half a year to finish plane!!!!!!
