Finish Stuff Friday!

Finally wrappedup this Italeri 1/48 Huey. It didn't really take too long to build, it had just sat on my wishlist for a couple of years. I'm not really a helicopter guy, but Huey is THE icon of the Vietnam era. This builds more like an armor model than an airplane kit. I guess that's why I keep seeing it in 1/35th scale. Fun little build. One half of my fuselage was warped, so it made it tough to fit all together. There is a resulting gap under the windscreen that I just have to live with. As for displaying it, the build is small like a truck, but really long like an F-104.

The filler episode I need for season 8:

Madney and Henren want double date night so they ask Buck to babysit Jee, Mara and Denny (less Denny and Mara ofc but teen and pre-teen need some supervision). Eddie has something too and brings Chris. We see all of them doing their stuff while Buck absolutely nails having four kids around him. Like babysitter of the year. Chaos of two teens, pre-teen and a toddler is ruled by him. And while Buck has everything under control for surprise date comes Tommy, who sees Evan with four kids but absolutely looking like it's just Thursday (bc it implied Buck was babysitting all of them already just not together) and falls only more in love

WHO PUT HIM IN THE MICROWAVE!?!?!

I've spent far, far, too long on this lad, and learned many valuable things about modeling and rendering in Maya (and Arnold, by extension) along the way, but the time has come to set him free into the internet void...

It's time to go to Paris to welcome Gigi, when she arrives, I have to make her taste a wonderful cappuccino that I told her about ☕️😍

I admit it's not very carbon friendly, but I take advantage of a flight already planned, Mea Culpa 🙏

What is UP we're back with more TF: Reconstruction!

Check out the Triple-Changer cadets who joined the squad a couple Earth weeks before Rod and Arcee did!

Hot Rod admires and loves working with Blurr, but thinks Springer is a little too "cool guy jock" for her taste - meanwhile Blurr and Springer themselves have been best pals since joining up with Ultra Magnus.

Workbench Wednesday!

It's been a minute, but here we go. Been working on this Huey this week. It's a very different challenge to working on an airplane. This is more like an armor kit that airplanes are. It's inside out, meaning that the interior will be on full display. Makes painting and filling tricky, since I'm painting everything ahead of time, and then going back for touch ups after sanding and filling. This thing will be nothing bust masking when it comes time for clear coats.

My old New-Ray Sikorsky helicopters, an US Army UH-60 Black Hack, and an US Navy SH-60 Sea Hawk, which I bought with my third paycheck all the way back in 2009!

(First paycheck was for a Daewoo microwave that lasted until 2017, and second for a generic iron that lasted less than a year)

They had been left behind in Venezuela for the past 3 years, my fiancé recently recovered them, and after a bit of cleaning and glueing (I have lost count on the times I’ve had to glue back on those damn main rotor blades) they’re back to display quality!

And man have they gone up, I remember buying them at the equivalent of 10 dollars each back then, now, according to a quick google search, they’re around 35 dollars each.

Now that they’re back with me, I’ll make damn sure they survive another decade and a half, so my future offspring may own them as well.
