  Trying to ramp up my creative side, decided to do a weekend build starting tonight, when S. takes off. Done by Monday morning. Film at eleven.

   I know this kit is going to require some nose weight, so I am making a mold for some lead:

Food poisoning on sat. night (dang that chicken!), but back at it again today. In the delirium, I decided to tweak the kit a bit more as well :)

I was expecting a "Hello Kitty" theme with that pink paint.

Shades of the Rutan 73 NGT with that cockpit! Very cool ... even without Hello Kitty waving back at us  ;D

O.k., so it took me more than two months to finish this one...lots of reality happening !  Anywho, it was a grand experiment in interior weight control !

Love it, Wise Old One! Odd how pink seems to perfectly compliment those Japanese markings!

You have an artist's eye my friend.

The only problem is he wants it back!

Another outstanding Cthulhu model!

Well worth the wait!  :)  We'll just work out the total hours in two months and round down to 36  ;)
