In Iraq you could just set your food on a slab of concrete and cook it. We did it with an egg.

Good to read, but hope you enjoyed the family  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

There was stress surrounding extra people & dogs in the house but, overall, yes, it was enjoyable. :thumbsup:  ;D

I'm with you on the extra people.
We don't allow extra dogs as Princess Charlie the Wonder Dog doesn't play nice wth them.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Fraser & Millie (Mildred) grew up with Kokoda the German Shepherd, so no issues there (although the old boy gets a bit stressed out, too), & Kitty the Labrador is too friendly & mad to get aggro about anything (although her constant attempts to play did push Millie to the edge of her breaking point a few times).

I was working most of the time they were here &, unfortunately, it was day shifts, so by the time I got home the grandsons were usually tired & grumpy, but on my days off I got some excellent grandpa time in. :thumbsup:

'Grandpa Time' is always a Good Time.  :thumbsup:
And 'Grandma Time' too, naturally.

Somehow I am now known as Pepaw and my wife is Memaw! Just as long as she plays with us we don't care!

Paused on the boats, Working on the quad-50 mounts.

Their bases (including the trailer bodies) are, actually, smaller than the twin-mounts. So, I'll remove the existing borders for the twin-mounts & replace them with squares of styrene sheet (deck reinforcing plates ;) ).

The main parts of the M55 are in Dragon's typical softish grey plastic & are easy to work with.

While the 3D-printed parts from Dynamo are exquisite! The support connections are almost microscopic & require little, if any, clean-up, & the level of detail is fantastic.

But I am going to have to paint before I go any further, otherwise there will be parts that will be blocked by other parts & will cause issues if painting post-construction..


Oh, yeah! Almost forgot! I'm building 8 x US Jerry cans to go with them (let's see who can guess why. ;)
