  1. Never met anyone, younger than me (48) or even older than me, (my dad LOVED the 89 Batman, RIP), that didn't like that movie. It's just one of the all time greats no matter your age. Yes, I do love the first two Nolan movies as well, but 89 Batman is just more "fun". 

  2. Academy 1/72 Superhornet UPDATE.. Finally! .... Aftermarket resin pilots are painted, decaled up with some leftover micro decals from other kits for helmet markings and in the plane with no trimming required!. First Flory's grime wash is down and drying.... Stay tuned!

    Looking great @derex3592 - wow really nice riveting on that wing especially for 1/72 scale!  Where does people get those black foam inserts that you cut up to block up the intakes or landing gear wells?

    Thank you @wm cheng. It's just little scrap pieces of foam from my work.  Extra "plucking foam" from Pelican cases. We have quite a bit of it lying around.

  4. Primary painting done on the Superhornet. It's hard to tell in the pics but the blotchy under pattern juuuust shows through. Took my time to try to get it juuuust right. The resin after market pilots literally dropped in like they were made for the model! No chopping of feet, legs or butts! 😁  I got them painted up pretty good for 1/72. Pretty happy with this build so far.... BUT.... the now DREADED Academy decals are coming up.... Uhhhgggg..... Which is sad because decaling is usually really fun for me. We shall see...
