Tanks, Gents. Besides working plastic or resin and paint, I'm a big fan of making saw dust. So much so that I've done my own complete kitchen rebuild. It's a nasty habit being anal retentive, but somebody got's ta do it, right?" Rustic Hickory with all the holes in the panels, and the Mrs. specifically requested that look, I'm safe, HA!

We're talking cabinets, resin counter tops, flooring, lighting, paint, newel post, and stairs, railing, pop-up stove ventilation, kiddy gate, the works. All those years of working construction making peanuts has paid dividends most guys would cringe over, and it was a "hootin ditty" of a time doin it! Right around $10-11k to make this happen, all of it. Remember, having the right tools does help, HA!

P.S. And for those of you who are super observant, that is a dog on the top of that couch, lol.

Thank you, Gents. And, Simon, you nailed it, keeping the boss happy. A small bundle of flowers every few weeks greases the skids, too, btw.

More progress has been made on the figures, pics posting soon, and thanks for watchin. Cheers, Ski.

The least she could do in return is reserve some space for figures in those display cabinets!

Impressed by your craftmanship Steve!

Thanks, Stevo! I had a lot of fun doing that resin, pretty wild possibilities.

Capt. Walt in Progress

Just three quick shots of Capt. Walt’s progress. I’m working the hands and finishing up anything left on the upper torso before moving on to Bruce and Luke to do the same.

Now that my saw dust session is over, I’m gladly working this set in the warm bunker. More to follow soon and thanks for watchin.

Cheers, Ski.

Coming together nicely Ski, great tonal values on the uniforms. I like the leather holster as well.

Cheers Simon
