| This is not really what VA is about - but it is a thing I did a lot as a young teenager, in the 1950's |

| I have made a start on the Victor - love the shape of this Vee bomber. At a halt for a week or two due to having a ceiling installed in my garage/shop. |

| ...There are only rafters above at the moment, and the temp. in the summer goes up to well over 100 degrees most days. |

| Cool set of models. Been wanting to do a scratch built balsa Meteor. It's on the list behind a few other potentials. I always liked the Vulcan myself. There was one in the Castle Air Museum in Atwater CA. I was stationed at Castle AFB for a short time and got to get a good look around the museum. Very cool. The Brits can make some really interesting looking planes. |

| I want to get down to Castle Air Museum. You can fly in, I think. I know they have a Vulcan there, you can see that on Google Earth. |

| It looks like they added a few planes since I was there in the late 80's. I don't remember the B-36, B-52 or a KC-135 being there. I would have remember those! You can tell that the airport used to be a base. Look at the names of the streets: Stratofortress Dr., Apron Ave, Hardstand Ave, Aviation Dr. |

| I've been working with plastic kits again recently - semi trucks and motorcycles for my grandson. I have most recently been working on the out of production Monogram F3F Grumman Gulfhawk. It was a nostalgia buy too - lol. In terrible condition with parts missing and glue dollops everywhere (not at all as advertised but oh well) live and learn |
