I hope today is good for you all and is a great start to your week. And I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I myself had a tough one, but hoping to restart to a better week today. With that in mind, I want to highlight a few ladies who are amazing and have sets that you should take a look.

I'm feeling better today, my stomach was really upset yesterday. But all better today. It's not hot today actually rather nice, except for the humidity. It's been raining a bunch so the humidity's really high. We've been running the air conditioning, but not enough to clear the humidity in the house.

The model is on to the next stage. I'm about to start putting it...

So what will this model look like anyway? @okkatana and @emeralda asked. Here's what it looks like now.

And here's what it hopefully will look like when I've finished:

We will see. Currently I'm laying on the sofa not feeling well. Hopefully this will pass soon.

Love to you all. **MWAH**

Thank you @emeralda, @okkatana, @unita, @felicity.  I'll be putting more together today and get another photo up later on.  Thank you for being interested in this project.  Many hugs to you all.

Today I am starting on the bigger pieces of the current model I'm working on, the big ship Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's going to be 41" long overall, and I have no idea where I'm going to put it when I'm done! :-D It's gratifying to start to see the pieces coming together after a few weeks working on the small pieces....

@okkatana @emeralda Yes, I'll get pictures once I'm finished.  I'll try to get some pictures today of the progress.

I'm so curious about your model! Good luck to Karen 🍀

I hope you are all doing really well and having a great day today. I wanted to bring up a couple of amazing ladies that I adore and thought you might like also.

@emeralda is an absolute cutie. She is the sweetest thing and has such an amazing smile. You should really check out her debut set Now I'm Ready. It's gorgeous and shot...

The paints came in late yesterday, so I'll be able to do more with that. I've been assembling some pieces the last few days. Man, these are small bits. I put 24 parts together (with 5 pieces each) and all 24 of these assembled parts fit in a small condiment cup. Like I said, small parts. But I have more to go. I should get...

Had to check to make sure I had the day correct. Poor sleep last night left me sleeping late and not feeling great this morning. Yes, I'm still working on a model. I had to take a break from painting since I ran out of the color and I had to order it. Instead I've started assembling parts of it, which is requiring lots of...

I understand what you feel, we have a similar situation in my country and govern. Wish things could change soon, but I don't have much hope in my country anymore. Enjoy your iced tea with Phryne :)

@felicity I know what you mean, I'm feeling a certain lack of hope right now too, like we hit a tipping point in the US where things are not going to go back, but only onward to more absurdity.  Our choice is either the corrupt filth we have in place now, or a another old white man who seems to be losing his mind and putting his foot in his mouth on a regular basis.

My friend Amanda just got told that the school she is teaching at will not pick up her contract for next year, because "she does not fit the demographics of the students". What that translates to is that she is white in a poor predominately black school. I mean, when they hired her they knew she was white, so why is this suddenly a shock...

I'm sorry to hear, this is a complete absurd! I hope she can be fine.

I learned something last week. One needs to wash their models if they are going to paint them, because sometimes an oily residue is left on them and the paint/primer won't bond and instead bubbles or slides off. Who knew? Well, you and me now. So obviously I tried to airbrush the model and the paint slid off, so after a quick web search I...

Mine died in 2013. He was a friend of my family and I knew him since I was a kid. He used to care so much about me and I miss him so much. After then, I never found another as good as him :(
schiavona:
@felicity I'm sorry about that.  It's hard to find a good chiropractor, one that cares.  Karen, her sister, her mother and I all go to see this chiropractor.  We really like her.  Not that this helps you.

Not really much to talk about or post. Same things really. Finished the model. There were some flaws in the design that I've messaged to the maker in hope that they can improve on it. Started working on the next model, but the primer color I have for airbrushing is very light, so I ordered a darker color and have to wait for that to...

Everything Will be okay honey 🖤

@izzyvonl Thank you.  I know it will, but my brain still tries to trick me.  I'm feeling a bit better today, so I think I'm finally on an upswing back to normal.
