It’s done! With the paint fully set, I moved in my work station, hung my guitars, and got my new magnifying lamp set. I’ve got some initial supplies to get things going, but i’m really excited and set to go!

I even have an initial stash of models that I picked up last week when I was thinking about getting going. There’s a couple of snap-tites to warm up on, a snowspeeder & x-wing, a couple tomcats that accidentally have doubles of from past purchases when I thought about starting, a B-17 I got last year when I first started, and a real treat for me: a P-61 Black Widow.

That original box I remember from back in the early 80s

Back in high school and junior high, I looked at that P-61 month after month where I bought model supplies and kits. I built mostly jets at the time and thought it might be too “old timey” next to my other models. But I could never stop thinking about it. It’s the model I have thought of most over the years when I’d think of coming back to modeling. Now I have it!

The new box now that Revell owns Monogram

Nice stash ready to go!

Guitars handy and ready to play

I’ll have to catch up on some other things I’ve been doing since starting this work so I can have some time to model!
