It's amazing what some peaceful "down time" can do. Half a year ago I struggled to find 5 minutes of time to work on model stuff a week and now I've found time to work on new things and even old stalled things.

Many things have happened since then to help matters not the least of which is finally having time off from work.
(more on this below my long winded disclosure ahead)
Unfortunately one thing that has given me ample time off lately is the contract for care of the new high dollar shopping center is on hold. I was told by the landscaping company I contract with that the contract they have with the property management hasn't been signed yet.

There's a new property manager and I'm not impressed but that's not really relevant. Either way, it's not my fault and the people I contract with are also not at fault and are just waiting. So.... no use in getting upset about it. My worry is that the upper echelon is considering some alternative in which case my gig evaporates. We're now nearly two weeks into the new year and no resolution. I stopped service on the 4th after I was told to go on standby and here it is a week and a half later. GOOD news is that I went out there and did surveillance and trash is everywhere.... so that means I haven't been replaced yet.

SO ANYWAY.... F-16... T-16 .... T-47.,... whatever 'n the hell it's called..... had more white paint applied yesterday and I still have some areas that need to be sanded. In short, I'm stuck in PSR for the time being but I'm finding other things to do. Still no luck finding transfers for it, either, but I DO have a set of NASA stuff I can use if need be. I've also started working on fuel tanks. The two little area-rule ones that go on the wing tips and also drop tanks. This thing will have plenty fuel.

I almost want to throw some conformal (is that right) spine tanks on it, too, then the damn thing could go cross country in full afterburner (not really but it would be one hell of an increase over a Stock F-16 or T-38).

I've also done more work on the 737. I sanded down and re-primed the belly and now I believe I can start masking to get all the "Stuff" painted on. It's a combination of NMF and some anti-corrosion grey. Panels and swoops and ovals and all kinds of crap. Not knowing how to do this is what brought things to a halt last time around but now I know what I want to do and it should actually be pretty easy. I'm trying to leave the primer showing for those grey parts but I fear it's too far off from the actual shade so I might be brush painting a more proper color on. No biggie.
I started a Klingon Bird of Prey last night. I have the old three piece Adversary Set and I'm what-iffing them all buy making them all federation ships. I've already done the Ferengi.

I ordered a bunch of decals the other night and it's just a matter of painting and gluing until they get here.
Now for some random stuff.

OOPS!
Check this out... some good ol' test-liners:

Lastly... I saw some leggings for sale on the FB market place and snagged the picture because...... looks like a pretty neat camo pattern to me.

So that's that!
