It’s hard to believe that there are still people out there arguing that Biden was not legitimately elected, despite all the evidence that he was and no supporting evidence anywhere of any widespread electoral fraud. But let’s not pretend this ended in 2020. In 2024, Trump will claim fraud once more because he simply can’t stand the idea that he might have lost because more than half the voters don’t ever want him back in the White House. We need to prepare for his lies and how his MAGA base might rally to yet another false cause.

It's white now. Tomorrow, one of my favorite steps - weathering.

How big is a 1/350 scale starship? I use a tiny human facsimile for scale.

After the first wash it starts to look more realistic. I used acrylic dark green and black with thinner.

Okay, this warship is done. Now to find a nice, sunny afternoon to photograph it for a book cover.

Just for fun, here are the Federation starfighters on the left and Votainion starfighters on the right. All in 1/32 scale. Two of the Vot fighters are unfinished. They are waiting on paint.

I just did a nod to Asimov in my current WIP. I have a character whose last name is Starr and another character always calls him Lucky. A tip of the hat to the Master.

Hot take - Ralph McQuarrie's Stormtrooper helmets were the coolest.

More greeblies added to the tug. Hopefully this weekend I can get some panels and maybe a primer spray.

Most annoying part of Masters of the Air so far for me is the use of "roger, wilco". This is never used. Roger means "I understand" and wilco means "I understand and I will comply". Did they even have a technical advisor?

The first pass is with black pastel. Then maybe some strategic brown.

Me: I need a quick crew for my space tug. Just some names.

Also Me: Finds images of the crew, and creates interesting back story for them. Falls in love with the crew and now wants to do a whole book on just the tug crew's adventures.🤦‍♂️

I tell you this right now, I always forget why having Plasma and Gnome on the same install is a bad idea. Now I remember. lol. Gotta go fix this if I'm going to stick with Gnome.

Be honest. Why do you dislike the .webp format? What did it do to you? 🤔
