Progress on the B-24 but it's even better to hear you're up and about!!! Hope you keep on the mend! 

 

It's the healing power from family that made my hospital staycation possible!  FSM members, and the Miura family tradition have kept me focused.

I was starting to get concerned, as I was keeping an eye on your post in the ready room, and it had been a while since the last post.  I am so relieved to hear you are home and on the Mend!

 

Keep on keepin' on!

To my fellow forum members,

          Here is where the next excitement starts.  AB!  Ezra wanted to spray as soon as the box was open.  So I think when he sees these photos he will know what time it is.  AB.

Your friend, Toshi

Toshi,

Glad to see you are well enough to paint.  I can see Ezra's smiling face now.

To my fellow FSM Forum Members,

 

          I having been in and out of the hospital with having Ezra getting a scare with COVID19 was an interesting summer.  Luckily Ezra tested negative and I'm doing holistic healing!  Everyone is doing fantastic.   Today Ezra and I decided to do some AB.  It's been six months since even touching this kit and we plan on finishing it before Ezra leaves either Friday or Saturday.  He's getting so big, Ezra is now four years old.

Due to such an economic shortage we've both try to use what we have in materials.  AB the B-24 with Vallejo silver chrome, we will do some weathering and place this kit on the globe stand.  At least that's our game plan.  My son also picked up a Academy 1/72 B-17F   "Memphis Belle" so that'll be our next project.  Please see the photos below.

Welcome back to you and your able assistant.

My friend, 

It's great to be moving forward once again.  Ezra is into video games and games on my phone.  Oh, the irony!  I have tried to pursuade him and entice him with collecting philatelic "Stamps" items.  Although fun, he always manages back to games.  

Today he really enjoyed AB once again with Papa.   Thank you so very much for your kind words and encouragement!

 

Your friends, Toshi & Ezra.

Well now, "Happy Birthday Bill"!  The Toshi household started on a rocky foot this year but we will endeavor.  Thank you sir for the welcome back.  Ezra and Mrs. Toshi are now enjoying nap time while I clean up the bench.

We were going to do a light second coat via AB, but Master Ezra insisted on utilizing a brush.  I was shocked, all this equipment sitting dormant and you want to brush paint?  Well, I can't argue with that so Ezra went ahead by HIMSELF, and hand painted over the acrylic Vallejo chrome with MM enamel  silver chrome and this is his idea.  Honestly, I wish I could have brushed enamel on that good when I was four!

Was wondering about you folks the other day.  Great to hear all is well and you're both back at the bench.  Let the healing continue for both of you.

Can't believe your bossman is already 4.  Time flies faster than an SR71 .

Yes, Mrs. Toshi and I have been doing well.  Master Ezra on the other hand keeps us really busy.  Being four years old, I keep telling Mrs. Toshi in that our time is limited with him, like life, nothing lasts forever.  

When Master Ezra turns five next summer, he's off to school.  That'll be dictated with friends, teachers, and sleepovers.  As for Mrs. Toshi & I we will probably see him less and less since Columbus is three hours away.  Or a six hour round trip.  Wow, not something I can always do.

For now, we cherish what we have and treat him like a King!  I felt our next project should be the old Monogram SR-71.  Synchrinosity my friend!

With Master Ezra and Mrs. Toshi taking a nap, I had to see if my brush painting skills were still intact.  I just couldn't let a four year old out brush me.  I decided to brush paint the top half by hand and with a really cheap Walmart brush.  I'm happy to say that you really feel good about yourself and take pride in what and how you do things.  It turned out very well, almost sureal.

Thank you sir for the kind words.  Instead of the desert sand brown look, I wanted the European theater silver bomber.  Just like the old Monogram kit.

great to see you around, Toshi.

Ezra and you make a formidable team.

Let me know when you and Mrs Toshi want to come over the pond to spend time in Gods Own Country where there is heart lifting scenery, good food, a trip around my spirits cabinet and you can do as much or as little as you wish.

just a return flight is all you need!
