Additions & Changes

August 2012: Finally, an update after another of those hiatuses. This one will take a while to recover from. It wasn't anything dramatic or disastrous, just taking a break from the hobby, buying kits but not doing anything with them, and just doing little bits and pieces of work with the ones I have. Nothing got finished in 2011, though a lot got worked on.
September, 2010: There've been a batch of new kits arriving over the past months: I found an R2-D2 kit for a reasonable price so I finally added that to my collection. Other adds are a George Pal Time Machine by Reshape, 1/1000 resin Reliant, Galactica's "Zephyr," Moebius' Mk.II Viper, the 2001 Moonbus re-issue, a Keldon-class conversion for the ERTL Galor, the Pegasus Martian and some Macross re-issues or re-tools - Wave's VF-1J Fighter and VF-1S Battroid, Destroid Tomahawk, VF-1A variable. I swapped in the new Fine Molds snowspeeder and x-wing kits to replace the old MPC releases. Real world: added an Avro Vulcan and B-58.
9 March, 2010: Added a page for the Polar Lights 1/1000 refit Enterprise.
26 September, 2009: Updated the gallery pages for the Class of 2009 models VF-1A Battroid, NX-01 shuttlepod, TNG concept shuttle, and ST Sanger. There are updates to the Detailing with Pastels page in Sprue U and galleries for the A-Wing and Vulture Droid.
25 September, 2009: Added a crazy page about how one (that is, me) gets the paint out of a spray can so I use it for airbrushing. There are galleries on the pages for LXG Nautilus, Sulaco, and Brittania II and a page for the Class of 2009 models.
7 September, 2009: Added updates to Galor, AT-RT, Ferengi D'Kora, and Vulcan Ti'mur pages.
1 September, 2009: Would you believe I've finished 8 kits so far this year? One a month?! Indeed - Romulan Warbird and "2156" Romulan Birdy, Alien derelict pilot, NX-01 Shuttlepod, TNG "Soapbar" shuttle, Yamato 2520, S�nger Space Transport, and... and... (this is like thinking of the 7th Dwarf), oh yeah, a 1/200 "Pitaban" VF-1A Valkyrie Battroid. Here's the Class of 2009 so far. OK, for most of them, they'd been mostly, almost done for too long a long time. (pictures are forthcoming...)
New in the shop... Moebeius' Flying Sub, Iron Man mk.III, an old MPC C-3PO kit (thanks, G-Man!), "Acclamator" class Clone Transport.
