TOSHI!!! Great to see you back. We get worried when we don't hear from you. I am so hoping that next year is better than this last. Happy Holidays, my friend.

Looking forward to this next build.

Been missin' ya pal. Glad you're back.

Glad to see you back online.  Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Very nice to hear from you again, Allan, and I'm glad to learn that Mrs. Toshi is doing better. Hopefully this will be the year when all of these health issues are resolved, I wish you all the best for your families future. Looking forward to seeing some of Ezra's work, when he is building right along side of you. I'll bet that will be a happy sight.

Happy New Year, Mr. and Mrs. Toshi.

Glad your back Toshi!  That is good news about your wife and I hope this new year brings you fewer hospital days! Merry Christmas and have a blessed new year.

There you are,  WELCOME BACK !!!!!

Glad to hear that Ms. Toshi is doing better. I'm sorry to hear about your seizure, but I'm happy your back, and on the mend. ( No more of those .... one is enough ! )

Cant wait to see what you, and Ezra do with those kit's . I have made a 5 gallon bucket of popcorn, and pulled up my "Comfy chair". 

Merry Christmass, and Happy new year !

Hi Toshi, I am so glad to hear from you and that you are doing fine.

I regards to that Testors Corsair, did you test fit the fuselage sides to make sure one isn't larger than the other side?  I had three of these kits and all three had this issue.  

So glad you're back Toshi!
Sorry to read of your seizure.  Hope your recovery is swift and problem free, and happy Ms. Toshi is doing better.

I'll be following, to what fun you and Ezra have with those kits. 

Cheers,
Mark

Thank you everyone for the well wishes.  The Toshi’s greatly appreciated!  This shall be a new beginning for all FSM Forum members.  

What‘s shocking for me is how a 2 1/2 year old boy can grasp something once and apply it while getting better.  A swear to you all, he gets my help and has broken a few things, but his ability to see through the issues is nothing short of amazing.

Your friend, Toshi

Decal protection.

Ezra picked the color and with my help, AB the Corsair with a NEO Iwata.

Next up, decals.  

Good to see you back Toshi. Hope this year is a far better one for you and Mrs Toshi

You and Ezra are moving right along on those !

Did you have to Putty the seam's much ?  Hope the seam's wern't too bad.

look's like Ezra can use an airbrush better than I can !

Great to see you working with Ezra and letting us follow along.

We all wish you all the best, Toshi. Here's to you.

We are enjoying the build, and there were minimal seams.  Of which I took care of.  No he can’t use the AB without assistance, you’ll have a disaster!  Lol.  Thank you littletimmy for everything.

Here is my grandson Ezra with his Corsair.  Yes, he picked that color as well. This Corsair is his first casualty.  I tried and tried in vain to no avail.  I had a good feeling about what was going to happen.  

Yes, he plainly broke the landing gear.  It’s going to be shown in flight or I’ll rig up some stretched spruce.  We can only see!  Lol!

Your friend, Toshi

This is my first model kit made some three years ago.  I received this from MENTIS, a institue that helps people with TBI Traumatic Brain Injury.  I got this as a gift and on it went.

Oh it's sad to see Ezra break the landing gear but as long as he's having fun no big deal!!! 

It's good to have you guys back with us!

Much better for chaps like Ezra to build with all the prickley bits left off.  Less danger of breakage and no small parts to swallow.  Find him an old Testor's F2H Banshee, he'll love it.

Good to see you back, Toshi. Ezra's modeling skills are right up there. You're teaching him right. That Testors Corsair kit is a terrific build. Back in the day when Testors was Hawk, I built that kit from the XF4U-1 all the way to the AU-1.
