Making some progress on the Su-27. It looks like I may be able to save this horrible piece.

I Love GHQ
Have I mentioned lately how much I love GHQ miniatures? They would have never released a model that was this far off the mark.
I’m working on trying to save this Su-27 Flanker from I-94 Enterprises and I’m not sure it’s worth all the work. I’ve shaved off that horrible strange tumor that was growing on the underside of the nose. Now I’m adding Green Stuff to re-sculpt the canopy and the radome so they look at least a little bit like the Su-27. I’m going to try to see this project through to the end … but It’s really not feeling like it will be worth all the effort.
Here is what it looked like when it had the cancerous growth on this chin

New Stuff
I’ve been having a lot of fun doing the gaming videos lately and today I got a few new toys to help me do an even better job, mainly with the audio portion. You might even say I’m on the RØDE to better audio (see what I did there?).
In The Game Room – Episode 14
Well, it’s been a week since I returned from Little Wars, I came back to a huge pile of work and had a horrible cold for several days … so I’m finally getting around to posting the last video from Little Wars. In This video I spend some time just walking around the main gaming hall and try to give you a feeling for what it’s like there. I hope you enjoy the clips.
Question about Su-27
Does anyone know if there is a version of the Su-27 that has this huge “tumor” like growth on it’s chin? This really does not look right to me … but maybe it is?
I’m planning on carving this off to make it look more correct.
MQ-9 Reaper
Here’s a piece I picked up at Little Wars in Chicago this year. It’s going to take a little work to clean it up nice but it will be a cool piece to add to my collection. MQ-9 Reaper from I-95 Enterprises.

Getting Ready For Little Wars
Figuring out how to pack my minis for a cross country plane ride.
A Blast From The Past
This is the M48 with Reactive Armor from Croissant Miniatures (AKA In Service Miniatures). I’ve had this piece since 1986, it was one of the original masters that the production mold was made from. It only took me 30 years to get around to putting some paint on it.
