Well, my weeks vacation is over. I have to go back to work tonight. However I did get a lot of modeling done. Here are some progress pic’s:


This is my Spruance (DML) and Fletcher (Tamiya) in 1/350 I call “First in class”
I really didn’t get much done here. The PE is just killing any enthusiam.


This is a scratchbuilt spaceship “ARK II” I’m building for an Indy movie.


This is a 1/200 U-boat (Nichimo) that I started one night and didn’t work anymore than that on.


Here is a Hasawega 1/32 P-52D I started, The plan was to have entire model done during the vacation. However somehow I lost the headrest (it’s so big I can’t believe I lost it) and got stuck.


And my prized possession, my Tamiya 1/32 Zero Sorry the pic’s are blurry. I tried to get as close as I could.

Also I got the Trumpeter 1/32 F4F-4 Wildcat done that I posted earlier.[:D]

I was so glad to be able to model during this years vac. Last year I had to paint bedrooms in “new” house. YUCK!

This was much more relaxing, and enjoyable.[:D]

mmmmm vacation. I can’t wait for mine. A month after this week left to go.
Looks like you had a very productive one.
Just to scratch my itch, can you give some details on that spaceship you’re building?

A guy in Nashville, TN joined up here looking for people willing to build him models for a movie he wrote and is putting together himself. He isn’t paying anything at all, but wo do get full credit. Here is his website: http://www.geocities.com/pxmovie/models.html
I thought it was something I could do. So I’m building the Spaceship that will open and close the movie. If your interested he’s probably still got something that needs to be built.

Nice work, Tim.

Do you have an email address for that guy in TN? I am interested in doing the Earth shuttle on his site, if possible.

Regards, Dan

Hey Brian!
When you find out what it is or means. Give me a shout.
I’ve noticed it in other posts and haven’t come up with anything, myself. [%-)]
And, is it pronounced vaw-kaw-shawn or vay-kay-shun?

Vacation - (n, adv) vay-kay-scion
1.) I do what I want when I want for as long as I want - within the alloted time confines
2.) modelling 24/7
3.) all play no work lets me enjoy life for awhile
4.) bill collectors, clients, and other people who present a serious crimp on my time and patience
see definitions 1-3
5.) lemme alone I’m on a modelling vacation

Looks like you were really productive - yeah, I’m jealous[:D]

Good for you Tim. My vacations always seem to center around “fixing things” or getting things done. I should set aside a “model building” vacation. Where does the time go?
