Mask

After decades of spray painting without a mask I finally got one.

I did a minuscule amount of research and this one seems good.

The OV thing seems important.

And the P95 part too.

But mostly I am just winging it and have no idea.  So do your own research and get your own mask.

It is pretty comfy, does not block my view, the price at Home Depot was reasonable, and the filters seem to last a while.  It works okay even with my glasses.  Much nicer than the one I had in the Army, but this one probably does not protect well against everything the Army one did.

 

Penguins

The Arctic set comes with both Arctic and Antarctic animals.  The ice floes are nice.

The penguins are well painted and include baby ones.

Orca from this set with the coral reef set from a few days ago.

More penguins.  Penguins are about 1/24th scale, Orca about 1/200 scale.

Some of the Penguins may end up with a Batman Villain.  Wack, wack, wack.
 

Motorcycles

The old Soviet Union used to have a lot of motorcycles in their motorized units.

They operated in small units and often were employed as messengers.  In the nuclear battlefield radios might not always work so motorcycles were employed for that purpose.

I have been gluing these Roskopf motorcycles onto Evergreen Scale Models item number 4504 Tile using the Model Master Liquid Cement.

They are going to be painted with Rust-Oleum deep forest green soon.
 

Snow Animals

Amazon has a lot of photo boxes.  They are cardboard or plastic boxes with the front and side open.

They often come with animals, terrain, and other accessories to allow you to do small set ups for your amusement or photography.

This one is an Arctic animals set.

It comes with removable base and side photos.

And a host of other bits in various scales.  1/32nd scale wolf and a 1/72nd scale igloo.

1/24th scale fox and 1/48th scale reindeer.
