I’m about 93% complete now on the 1/72 scale Eduard F6F-3 Hellcat. Tonight I attached external fuel tank. I worked on getting more zinc chromate showing under the sea blue. Also added some rust weathering along some panel lines. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

I’m about 92% complete now on the 1/72 scale Eduard F6F-3 Hellcat. Tonight I prepared the propeller and am working on the external fuel tank. The drop tank came without a proper seam, so I stretched sprue and gently glued it down. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

I remember favorite musicians - bassist Chris Squire of progressive rock’s Yes, Cameroonian Manu Dibango, Texas music man Stevie Ray Vaughn, Flaco Jimenez’ conjunto accordion, Chicago’s Walter Parazaider, Christian singer songwriter Rich Mullins, Greg Lake of ELP. There are times when music helps.

My Pops picked up photography about ten years ago, but the pandemic turned him into a full‑blown student of the craft. He spends many of his summer evenings capturing hummingbirds — and recently learned their wings can act like tiny prisms when the light hits just right. Magic in motion.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Vassell told me his amazing alley-oop 3 that beat the shot clock was "just instinct": “I saw the clock was going down and Ju (Champagnie) looked like he wasn't in a spot to shoot. So with point something on the clock, I just knew the ball was coming to me. I was like, I got to get it off quick."
