I've rigged up my AeroSpace Fighters with magnets. A big one replacing the clear rod they came with which can then mount the mini on other stands including a telescopic one and a taxiing base with landing gear. A set of 3 small ones under each wing allow for […]

Thinking about how I'm eventually going to paint my Shilones for the First Taurian Lancers. I think the metallic green would be a but overwhelming on something so big and flat so I thought about the default #taurianconcordat aerospace tan with the First […]

The pot where I grow lovage has sprouted mushrooms. Should I be concerned or just leave them be? I'm concerned that if they are poisonous the lovage might absorb some of that poison.

I'm really surprised I would have mushrooms growing on my sunny, south facing balcony.

@Eatsbluecrayon Start with gloss black then build up thin layers.

I use it for cockpits because I can't get the hang of painted jewelling.

Looks like the #snowbirds are in town. Not in a great position to see them except brief glimpses but I can certainly hear them. They seem to mostly be circling over #esquimalt.

Almost there. The rest of them are far behind but this one is a bit early.

I was out on the #gallopinggoose today and saw a rather interesting contraption: A side by side tandem #recumbent trike. I also came across someone using a Burley Travoy (as a handcart not a trailer) I think that's the first time I've seen someone else with […]

@moira

It turns out there is an explanation.
It used to be Seattle Boulevard, but part was renamed to Diagonal Avenue before 1918, and the remainder was renamed Airport Way in 1931. In 2010, the property owners along the northernmost two blocks of Airport […]

Close pass (Felt like less than 0.5 m) by a Fiat 500 (#bc_393pnj) on Gorge Road in the gap between Harriet and Tillicum that doesn't have protected bike lanes yet.

The new Gorge Road East protected bike lanes are officially complete including a connection to the the Kings-Haultain bikeway via Hillside and Ross.

I don't like how many cut outs there are in the protection, there is no protection at most intersections (I […]

So, cyclists on the E&N Humpback trail now have to dismount to cross this particular road that currently seems to go nowhere.

Plugging away. I dropped the throttle assembly as I was trying to position it and it bounced away. No idea where it went. I managed to improvise a replacement using another, less detailed, photo etch kit, and some sprue.

Continuing to work on the #mitsubishizero's cockpit. The engine is something I did years ago and thankfully didn't lose. Getting the photo etched cockpit details and the pilot to fit together in the model seems like it will be difficult. Probably one of the […]

My first time trying to assemble a photo etch detail set. I managed to drop and loose some parts and had to improvise replacements. It's going into an Academy 1:72 kit for an A6M Zero. I tried the same kit as my first foray into model kits as an adult years […]

I've been playing with #xpsfoam some more and built this #dicetower. I'm not entirely happy with the paint. This is the first time I've painted something this big and both the wash and the dry brush didn't turn out quite as I'd hoped. The highlight colours I […]

I went to the #ipmsvictoria model show today and entered my #clanjadefalcon snow diorama and some stand alone #battletech minis. No one else entered in the "Gaming Figure Diorama" category and I won by default. Not the glorious victory the Falcons deserve […]

I've been working on a little #diorama to display some of my #clanjadefalcon units. Some dust got into the speed paint so there are some defects I need to cover up, and I dropped it which damaged it near the rear squad of elementals. I've patched it up with […]

Cleared a bunch of notes from #openstreetmap. Did some ground truthing on my bike yesterday and then did the updates today. My helmet cam was being uncooperative and I lost some footage but I was still able to get what I needed.

Still lots of open notes but […]
