Huzzah!

I finished it!  I finally finished my X-Wing.  It was a long and sometimes frustrating journey, but ultimately fulfilling.  I look at this model and I see lesson after lesson.  They say learning new things keeps the mind supple and young.  Well, my mind must have regressed to that of a teenager with the amount I learned on this project.

I just took some cell phone pictures until I get some time to take a few better ones.  I hope this thing will fit into my Foldio.  It’s going to be nip and tuck.  I may not want to take better pictures though.  This model is best enjoyed from a distance.  When you look closer, all of those “lessons” become far more apparent.

I am happy with the results of my first scale model since I was around 15.  I look forward to doing my next one, which will be the Tie Advanced.  However, I have to finish the Judicator first.

What a Woman

When I got home last night, there was a package sitting on my step.  My wife picked it up and turned to me and said "Happy birthday!".  Now, I think it's important to note that my birthday was exactly one month before the package arrived.  Needless to say, my present came as a surprise.

My surprise was increased when I opened it up.  My lovely wife had ordered some personalized movement templates fore X-Wing.  They are so cool!  Now all I need is an opportunity to play some X-Wing and show them off.
