Sorry for another gap.   Christmas was busy.

Just before Christmas, I assembled what Kadees I had to hand.   Kind of just felt like building them.   I need to fit them, now.   I have plenty of stock waiting;

All these clamps, I certainly had a hold on the situation.

Wanting to build something well-designed & straightforward, I started the Toyota AA kit.

Very clean molding, very well designed assembly.   Only bit that took any time was holding the lever-shocks in place while the glue set.   Tamiya Extra Thin made sure that wasn't long.   The kit is from Tamiya, by-the-by.   I highly recommend their kits if you're moving from snap-fit or RTR to glue assembly.   Very forgiving.

I picked myself up a somewhat humorous model on my birthday;

Yes, it's a fat Asian man on a chopper with a fake beard & presents.   Box included a pair of socks, as well.    I probably won't build it anytime soon.    Maybe to clear another box off of my shelf.

Finally, I purchased some second-hand Warhammer 40,000 Tau from a friend;

This was me cataloguing what I received.   Much needed repairs.

Some of the bigger stuff was unfinished.  Some still is.   I had sadly found I was out of magnets when I went to add them;

I used a very oversized lighter to soften that clear stand, then bend it.    Worked fine, especially as I used my iced drink glass to set the angle!   The model on lower left was assembled from parts in the pile of sprues.

These were also cut from the sprues.  Excepting the pile of Kadee's, of course.   Given how I've magnetized certain models in my collection, most of these piles will need magnets as well.    We'll see.
