windy day. I like that

What you're about to witness is a rare event. I have made progress. And as a bonus some pics!

The sandbags came out freakin glossy!!!!! grrrr!

using the salt chip method.

pretty boring so far. hopefully sh'll look a bit better with the weathering. She is really plain right now.

reb, you loser!! thats great, foggy days.  freshmen year we had about 3 days canceled due to, and i quote, "the wind."  they were afraid the little tots would get blown away waiting for the bus!  that was a good year...

then last year, we had only one day off, and that was because a watermain broke nearby.  NO SNOWDAYS.  lets keep our fingers crossed shall we? 

work- none done

I am also looking forward to it getting warm again I dont like painting outside when it is under 40.

As for my build today not much done just put the last of the putty on. Giving it a day to dry.

but its cold!

I guess the only thing we have like that is foggy days. Gets foggy out here. But sometimes its clear in town so I still have to go to school. But the news says it's supposed to be really bad on tuesday, lets hope. I'll still have to go to school, just like 2 1/2 hours later than normal.

I hate the cold. I'm countin down the days to when its 102 degrees. Swimming, no school, swimming, baseball,  fireworks (actually an all year thing), extra sleeping, longer days, and swimming. Summer.........!

gringe I used a food can to trace the circle out on sheet plastic.

looks good frogfoot.  howd ya cut the circle?

im gettin good at this veneer base wrap thingy.  im doin it again on a base for a jap tank i got goin. 

listenin to slipknot right now on radio.  not bad my friend, not bad.

you coulda gone to see mudvayne!?!  And you didn't go! for shame! Im still in HS, they just make us take the exit exam sophmore year so if we dont pass then we can take again next year.

You guys enjoy your "snow days". I'm having a good ole time here in the sunny 65 degrees. And If I want snow, I just take a 2hr drive up into the mountains. But I dont want snow, snow is cold.

I found My camera. It was in my sisters truck from when she visited for thanksgiving. I'll post pics up a bit later.

Frog, I'll add you to the list then too.

ill listen to anything once, usually.  mostly its rock though.  i cant believe i had to miss a mudvayne concert up here!!!  it was on a school night.  they say it was a killer concert too......

gonna get more done tonight.  post pics later....

I WAS SOOOOO CLOSE TO GETTING A SNOW DAY TODAY TOO!!!! DARN IT!!!!! the snow stopped falling very early in the morning giving the plowmen enuf time to clear it!!!! MAN!!! A FOOT OF SNOW AND WE HAD TO GO TO SKOOL!!!

today no progress on building my 251, TOO BUSY BUILDIN SNOWMEN!!!! YES!!!!! i built two in my driveway: ones lying on the ground and the other one is a short mafia dude with a little icicle gun...its so cool ill post pics of it!

after 2 hours of doing that.....im in bliss.....hot tea....warm house....warm couch....enigma playin in the background.....ah yes...this is life...

toby mac?? basically everyone in my area is strongly against any country....i for one...didnt hear much, but the few i heard were ok...not the best but eh...i usually listen to : techno, trance, electronica, heavy metal, rock, some rap, punk, and some classical (theres a time and place)

wait, reb, r u already outta high school? 

To get a dust free finish clear your area where you are painting a couple of hours before painting. That will allow the dust to settle. Then clear the model of any dust.

Toby mac, He's alright. Country is popular around here so you learn to live with it. I personally dont think its bad.

Gringe, you sayin we're stupid over here? You should have seen our "high school exit exam." what a joke. We have to pass a test basically to get out of highschool. I could have past that test in 7th grade, I had a 101 degree temperature and I still passed. (I had to go cause there were going to be no makeups!)

Well it rained here over night and a little bit right now. I think I'm going to tak me truck through the mud.

i too get off the 16th....our school has the nickname of holiday high cuz we get a lot of days off of school like in november we did not have a single FULL week of school, every week we would have a 3 day weekend

not too much progress but still enough for an update: finnished off the radio, added scratchbuilt headphones, and antenna, making new backs for the seat cuz the latter ones were too flimsy, put more detail on the inside of the driver's and radio operators windows, repainted (yes ANOTHER coat of paint) the interior, figured that i should just weather everything once im done with all of the interior
