Hobbies on hold?

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Too true. I havent been able to make any model since February but I mean to change that this August. I'm fixing up a new hobby space at home and I hope to have it done by early August and start with my projects again, namely:
  1.  Finish and display my T-34/76
  2. Finish my 1:35 Delta Force
  3. Start a new 1/72 tank
 Well, that's about it for now:)

Dragon Models 1/16 Warrior: British Paratrooper "Red Devils"

        This is my first attempt at painting a large-scale figure. I like the way the Denison smock came out but the messy inking on the flesh parts bother me. Maybe I'll repaint those next time I break out the paints. This is the first time I tried painting a figure larger than 54mm. I got this model along with 3 other models from Dragon's plastic figures line. Painted with oils, acrylics and inks.

I woke up to a beautiful morning and after a good breakfast and a brisk walk around the house, I decided to work on my scale models. Now, I recently fubbed some paintjobs and I had left the models on my main workbench unfinished. With my airbrush still needing a new needle, painting was out of the question. The 1/35 Jagdtiger and SU-122 would have to wait. I had some 1/35 figures still on the workbench but i didn't feel like brush painting either. What I needed ws a simple, fast, uncomplicated out-of-the-box build. And a good cup of coffee. I eventually headed to my bodega and decided to crack open an old kit that had languished in my bodega for years. Browsing thru my collection of unassembled kits, I decided on the old Matchbox Sherman Firefly in 1/76 scale. I had bought this kit way back in the 70's I believe, part of my early collection of 1/72 and 1/76 tanks. Even though the Matchbox tanks were smaller than the ESCI ones, I liked them because of the mini dioramas ...

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!
