I'm Back

Well, I haven't even looked at this blog since I last posted in January. In reading the October issue of the IPMS North Central Texas newsletter, the Flaksheet, I find my picture from the blog and the URL published. Interesting. So I decided I should start back up writing since maybe someone will read my ramblings. But now I found that I do have a few readers out there. There were comments posted that I have just finished okaying for publishing. To those gentlemen who sent the interesting comments my apology for not seeing them until now. It's nice to know there are others in the same situation...misery loves company.

And what have I accomplished since January? Nuttin'. Oh, I've started quite a few projects but as usual haven't finished a thing. Let's see...what's on the workbench?

I started the Italeri 1/72 M3A1 halftrack. The box says it is an M3 but it doesn't have a skate rail for the .30 cal machine guns. In fact it doesn't have .30 cal machine guns with the kit. This kit (and there are two halftracks in it) comes with a .50 cal mg on a post. I do have some Sgt's Mess .30 cals I plan on attaching. There's also a Cromwell Sherman which I started painting. It's been so long sitting there that I forgot what model of Sherman it is. I have a 1/48 scale Kengi Conversione M26 that is also half painted gathering dust.

You know I think I should post some pictures of my starts. That would fill space. Okay, soon!

Remember, it is better to have entered a model contest and lost than to have collected stamps.
