WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

Stuart - Got the decals done on the Tamiya 1/48 Sherman Firefly. They went on very well.

Geoff - had the grandkids for the weekend and did two”weekend builds” with two of them (the third wanted to draw). One grandson chose the ancient Revell 1/72 PT 109 and my granddaughter chose the even more ancient Revell Nautilus nuclear submarine. He wanted a more realistic scheme, but she wanted pink, purple, red and yellow…! A lot of fun!

Terry - No changes. Not much progress. Doing plenty of yard work now, spring is springing.

Brent - Not much time for things, Ultra 7 ship from Hasegawa. UltraHawk.  A couple of busts, including a Keatan Batman. Both sculptures by Jeff Yeager

WHAT WE ARE READING

Stuart - Nada

Geoff - really just either too busy or too exhausted to focus on reading, but looking forward to doing so soon!

Terry - Finished Baxter’s Moon Seed. I think I like this the best of the trio. Now I’m reading Adam Rutherford’s A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived. It’s a few years old, but highly regarded. It examines the history of humans via our DNA. I’m also still reading The Apothacary Diaries novels in the background.

Brent - Auto Biography Geddy Lee from Rush. Salem’s Lot by Stephen King
