Thanks guys! Been working when I can on my two dioramas (vignettes?)...I'll be glad when summer starts Friday afternoon and I can take more time in the shop. Worked on the brick side...I know Kilroy was pretty much an American GI thing so after doing some research, I found that in WWI, the Aussies had pretty much the first iteration of the theme with Foo- which might stand for Forward Observation Officer? Either way, I liked the idea of having a remnant of the Great War in this piece...still will add more to the wall but it's a start.  On the color side, I figured handpainting a Libyan flag piece from an online photo I came across would make for more color...still have graffiti to add but I'm pretty happy with it.  Also worked on the FT-17 base a bit more...    And planning out my summer project as this week will soon come to an end as will my 20th year of teaching   |

Entering my busy build season with the school year ending... first up is the Airfix Defiant I finished...  I am nearing completion of two dioramas I've been working on...the Meng FT-17 and figures-  And my b&w and color diorama I've been planning and working on- the b&w is the LRDG side from WWII...  The color side with the Toyota technical...wall is nearly complete...  Got a start on my Iraqi War diorama working with the suspension and torsion bars on the Meng Abrams...  Did the same with the Bradley, but also went ahead and started the engine...  And lastly to feed my WWI fix- I started the Hobby Boss Schneider and really detest these tracks they're making me assemble...   |

Looking good but with that much mud wouldn't the bike rider have way more mud splatter up his legs and back?
