Hey guys,

Not really sure how often you guys get feedback on the literature section of the podcast but I just wanted to reach out and say thank you.

I recently finished Chris Hadfield’s “The Defector” and I was worried about where I would get my next space fix from. The Apollo series he created is amazing from my point of view.

But in the meantime, Baxter will scratch that itch!

Keep up the great work,

Tyler

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

Stuart - Work continues on the 1/48 Trumpeter Westland Whirlwind. Pick up several items from an estate sale, including a 1/700 escort carrier, a 1/72 Airfix A26, a 1/72nd P61 Black Widow and several Matchbox 1/76 armor kits.

Geoff - Finished a little Polish light plane in 1/72, just because it was so tiny, then started an even smaller Soviet seaplane from WW2. Also picked up a few kits from the same estate sale, including the old Airfix Refueling Set and Recovery Set, a Matchbox Victor K2, a Heller Douglas DC 6B, a tiny Airfix bag kit of the Cessna Bird Dog and several more!

Terry - getting final pictures sorted out for the Moosaroo. I suppose I can reveal it now. Also I’ll get the Phalanx assembled for some final touches. The Crusher Joe Harpy is in the same spot, those should both be done by the weekend. Probably. Beyond that, deciding on the next shelf queen to finish, assembling some Reaper Minis dragons since I’m back in a bit of the mythical beasts painting groove.

WHAT WE ARE READING

Stuart - Still working on Stephen Baxter’s Traces

Geoff - reading? What’s “reading”?

Terry - Adam Savage’s Every Tool’s a Hammer. My friend Emily said it was very good and gave me her copy. So far it is. More from his approaches to starting and maintaining projects, asking for and giving help etc. I’ve implemented his checklist approach at work and it’s pretty useful. Reading the second to most recent light novel of My Happy Marriage, and while different from the anime in organization it’s every bit as good.
