I've got am old Revell 1/32 MiG 21 MF being done for a group build that is just about ready to paint.

A 1/48 A-4C Skyhawk that's had some cockpit glued and waiting for that to be painted.

A 1/35 Jagdpanzer IV L70 that I started to just to keep on gluing things this week because airbrushing with a sinus infection would not have been pretty.

Dude

Are you sure you are entirely up to date with your post-shading/filtering techniques? I read in FSM, if you happen to sneeze on your model whilst airbrushing with a sinus infection, just blend it in as a perfect mix of dust/grime as a wash effect! Who needs AK products! :lol:
Hope you're on the mend Ace.

Cheers

Adam

Must stay focused and motivated post Expo!

Got my 1/32 Trumpeter Me-262 to finish - about 40% done.
Started cleaning up parts and sourcing the odd bits and bobs for me RB-51 project.
Seriously thinking of building my three Yak-50/52's all together - build one or build 'em all? It could be the start of Adam's "Yak factory"! Torn between starting so many different projects - ARGH! :roll:

Starting them is not the problem....it's finishing them that I seem to have an issue with, (that's how I ended up with the curtain rod of disgrace :D)
The Adam "Yaktory Factory" concept sounds interesting.
