I've
posted photos of the completed diorama, "Lafayette,
Baboon Has Arrived." I'll finish the write-up on the creation of
the diorama in June.

Okay,
Baboon is 95% complete. Check out these pictures
while I press on with the rest of the diorama.

Criminy,
how time flies! I'm sneaking this update in under the wire. The photo at right
will give you a hint why. But here's something to tide you over:

My
energies right now are focused on getting Baboon built in time for the AMPS show
in April. I've pulled together a narrative and my construction photos so you can
see the detailing leading up to the point of painting, starting with the research
into the historical
Baboon.

— Happy New Year!
As
something of an armchair historian, I have a thing for dates, facts, anniversaries
and such. Thus, I start off 2010 noting that it was 20 years ago this month I
got back into modeling. To mark to occasion, I'm going to change things up a little
bit here and promote two clubs I belong to that have shows this spring. I'm
starting a new series of articles, Confessions of a Glue-sniffer: Twenty Years
at the Modeling Bench,
looking back on how modeling has evolved over this period. In the first entry,
Band of Brothers,
I talk about how I came to appreciate the importance of clubs in my enjoyment
of this hobby.
I
reach back into the shelves to reviews two nice Warriors sets that have been kicking
around for a while: USMC
Command Conference Set #1 and Set
#2.
Finally,
I have a new batch of photos taken a few weeks ago at the Fort Snelling Military
Museum of the recently completed M3A1
half-track. It's a beauty!
