Starting to look the part - details left to print and add, along with Decals. The little one will hopefully be done by next week.

If you open it, I'll help make their brisket sandwiches. :-)

Someone was using it to build SkyNet? Bring on the terminators...I'm done with this timeline. LOL

They were done up as some sort of meat filled egg-roll-ish thing. I recall them being OK for taste and because of how the meat was prepared (finely minced/chopped) it wasn't tough at all.

Good 3 AM Food - fresh bacon, a couple slices of toast and some raspberry jam.....yum. I also had the privilege of eating in the mess in Camp Orange in Holland - they served horse meat at one point. Wasn't actually as bad as I thought it'd be.

Porkbarrel/2%GDP solution - buy land back, build airport again....

There was also that time I was duty at A-Block as a LS Roundsman back in the day....as I'm in line to get my meal for supper, I turn around and there's a cockroach crawling up the wall. I point it out to the cook - he shrugs...so I squish it and he proceeded to get MAD at me for killing it...

BRRRRRRRRTTTTTT ....?

Here's the 1-288 scale test print version - starting to look the part.

We had a night baker on CHA back in the 90's named Rex. He was amazing. His breads and desserts were just outstanding. I miss those times. Nothing like a stack of hot fresh bread at 0300 when you wander into the mess for a coffee in the middle of your watch.

Gallipoli anyone....anyone....?

Getting there....slowly...needs another layer of waterway gray on the uppers....plus some sanding on the focs'le due to some bubbling... The boot topping turned out nicely though.
