Hey shermanfreak,

Saskatoon is great. I've only been to two meetings so far but they do seem like a great bunch of guys. We're just getting ready for our annual model contest and I'm trying to get one finished here so that I can enter. It will be the first contest I've ever entered so it should be interesting.

I don' want to sound like Sigmound Frued but I think that perhaps you are pushing yourself to hard.It is not easy to build when their are so many things to do.I have been down that road and botched many a good kits in the process.I have started to put my modeling in turn with all of the other things in life.Opening day for trout season is starting this saturday so I will take alittle time to catch up on my fishing.Soon I will get sick of being freezing cold and wet and not catch anything but a cold.Thus a return to the model table(until camping season starts).So for me it works ok but everyone is different.I work 40 hours a week.I have a (very supportive ) wife and two model bashers(,I mean kids)several animals and other hobby.I know that I am lucky to have things working out so well but its not allways easy. Like I said before I was stumped for nearly two years before I got things to work out.
I wish you the best of luck and I hope it works out well for you..............

I have often felt like I am pushing myself and never quite figured out why. As it seems you never get there any faster.

Must be the taxes, bills, taxes, :)

Family first, marine1. we're all rooting for you, you'll get there in the end, One day you'll find you have a few spare minutes, or even an hour where you have no demands on your time, 'maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow' but it will come.
Good luck, and,'Keep the Faith' or is that recon?, can't remember

Me neither, but I did actually tell someone once I didn't need no stinking badge while I was a deputy sheriff in KS.

I actally spent a few hours working on my vacuum former over the weekend.

That's the spirit!
The quote comes from Blazing saddles, one of the all time best films.
I forgot to mention, on the aircraft picture earlier. The CASA was a licence built Heinkel, made in Spain, as used in the film, 'battle of Britain'. The main difference to the real thing is the fact that it has Rolls Royce merlin engines!
Okay, lets try 'Semper Fi!'

I have a close up shot of the engines. I look tonight and see what kind they are and post those up. Semper Fi, Do or die, I love blazing saddles and it was hard to keep from cracking up when I said it. :)
