Ronnie Schultz, sporting camo shirt, and a new Haircut saved me from myself. He bought the Revell Deals Wheel's Fokker Funfdecker kit while I was enjoying a rare Tasty Taco's treat. Thank you Ronnie!! I loved the new thing he was doing with his hair and I encouraged him to continue washing it!!

Golf Professional, Nate McCoy has created a figure vignette that touched my Heart. These Guys are First Marine Division Marines, going ashore a Peleliu. Our good old (long passed away) original member, Gilbert Wheeler was among those Marines that day. Nate's skillset continues to be amazing to me. He and our eminient Figure Guy, Don Barry, have been sharing tips & tricks! :notworthy :ro: :good: :salute

I finished my Job today @ 1100. I went to the house, picked up my models and headed out to the Hobbytown in Ankeny. It was not a regular Club meeting just a build/BS day. We called it "Don's Play Date".
