Key recognition features: red or orange markings on the abdomen, hairy underside & legs, pronotum with strongly indented side keels. All grasshoppers are very variably marked & coloured, and colour should only be used very cautiously as an identification feature. But this female could be described as the 'default' form ie a straw / grey colour. This species prefers dry habitat & avoids lush vegetation. Notice how well matched she is to her background. The individual in the inset is a stronger mix of ochre & brown.
This is one of my favourite possessions. I used to use it mark out all of my joints in wood work before making a cut. It is another object that I found hidden in dust that had not been used for decades.
Marking time, and space.
This "parcel" of land has long intrigued me and of course has undergone subtle changes and shifts over time. I've been watching it since 2000.
I'm wondering now, will the new Airport Rail Link have an impact as well?

Painting and markings:
Well, even though the aircraft would probably have been delivered to Belgium in a Dark Green/Dark Earth/Sky livery and then transferred to north Africa, I decided to use a typical French livery in Khaki/Dark Brown/Blue Gray – inspired by the Heller SBC and for the odd look of the resulting aircraft.
The latter would be enhanced through FAFL markings from a Colorado Decals sheet – they actually belong to a Curtiss Hawk 75, based in Syria 1941.
One very inspiring fact about the French tricolor-paint scheme is that actually no aircraft looked like the other – except for a few types, every aircraft had an individual scheme with more or less complexity or even artistic approach.
Even the colors were only vaguely unified: Field mixes were common, as well as mods with other colors that were mixed into the basic three tones!
I settled for a scheme I found on a FAFL MS.406, with strongly feathered edges between the paint fields and a rather cloudy paint application. That, coupled with some serious aluminum shining through, creates a very interesting (if not somewhat shabby?) look.
Interior surfaces were painted in Cockpit Green (Humbrol 78) while the landing gear well parts of the wings were painted in the same light blue gray as the aircraft’s underside and the struts in Aluminum.
The aircraft was weathered well with a black ink wash and some dry-painting, simulating dust and sun bleaching on the upper surfaces.
As a last step, everything was sealed under a coat of matt acrylic varnish.
Painting and markings:
Concerning the aircraft's livery, I basically stuck to the machine depicted in the conversion set and on the few pictures of such machines - even though the info sheet states that "markings are uncertain".
Anyway, I went the suggested overall NMF route with grey-green fabric (individually mixed from Humbrol 90 and 155) on all rudder surfaces. As a personal note, and as an interpretation of the benchmark photograph of the Ki43-II I tried to build, the model received a worn and flaking cowling in IJA Green and Grey. The latter was also used for the drop tanks, with red primer showing through the tanks' front end. A black anti glare panel was added in front of and behind the canopy.
The cockpit interior was painted, based on Hasegawa's recommendations, in a greenish brown tone (a mix of Revell 45 and 16). The landing gear wells and the interior of the flaps was painted with Aodake Iro - and instead of mixing a metallic blue tone as a single tone I rather laid down an Aluminum base and added a clear, greenish blue lacquer on top - just like the real thing. The deep yellow ID markings on the wings' leading edges were painted with RAL 1028 (Lufthansa Gelb, Revell 310).
The skis appear to be massive wood pieces, and they were painted accordingly with a wet-in-wet mix of red brown and cream, for a streaky look, mimicking the wooden structure.
After basic painting (a basic coat with acrylic Aluminum, Revell 99), everything done with brushes and minimal masking, the kit received a light black ink wash, in order to emphasize engravings. For some "depth" effect, panels were post-shaded with Polished Aluminum Metallizer (Humbrol 27002) on top of the acrylic Aluminum base. During the polishing process with a piece of soft cloth, some grinded graphite was rubbed over all surfaces, too, creating a slightly worn and uneven look. This little trick also enhances the metallic shine of the surface, making it look less "painted". Graphite was also used in order to simulate light exhaust stains on the Hayabusa's flanks.
Once the (very thin and delicate) decals were in place, they received a light treatment with Aluminium and sand paper, in order to simulate some wear on the aircraft's surface. Finally, everything was sealed with a coat of semi-matt acrylic varnish, just the rudders and the anti-glare panels received a completely matt coat.
Protesters in Toronto demanded an accounting for the 215 children found in unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Residential School in Toronto.

The villagers were immensely proud of The Engine House and all it stood for. They considered it to be as impressive and efficient as any town Engine House: indeed it was probably more efficient than most, for it would have been nigh on impossible to find a more eager bunch of firefighters or a more lovingly cared for appliance!
The Fire Chief lived here with his wife and daughter in comfortable accommodation on the first floor. He was the only full-time member of the village fire-fighting force: the rest of the crew were volunteers from the young men of the village. Filled with a spirit of adventure, they carried out their daily work -- ready at a moment's notice to respond to the clamor of the fire-station bell.
The other key member of the team, Heraklion, saw himself as a rival for the Chief's post. He, after all, had experience of a larger Engine House and felt better qualified than the incumbent. When he was moved to the country he was sure that his talents would be recognized; however, fate decreed that Heraklion would remain at the rank of fire-horse.
The firemen -- resplendent in their brass helmets and smart uniforms -- and the highly polished appliance were a source of great pride for the village. No parade, ceremony or festivity was complete without an appearance and demonstration of their skills.
Calls for the fire service were fortunately few; the villagers were careful and made sure that the pond and other water catchment areas were kept at a high level throughout the hot summers. Rescuing the schoolmistress's cat from a tree and attending the annual Guy Fawkes Night bonfire were typical fare.
These were the village's modest heroes who devoted their spare time to fire-fighting practice and maintaining the Engine House and appliance in pristine condition.

For Now See You ALL Then!
I've spent the past few weeks in a mix of marking, firefighting, networking and enabling.
Earliest finish I've had in the week from work has been 22:30 this week and that's because I fell asleep at my computer mid sentence, with most of this week being marking until well into the wee hours.
Genuinely running out steam and starting to feel the effects of pushing so hard.
Could be time for a change soon I think, this is starting to be less and less fun and increasingly more and more frustrating.

Marking the outbreak of the First World War, and commemorating the British and Colonial servicemen killed during its course.
The installation consisted of one ceramic poppy for each of the 888,246 serviceman. It was installed at the Tower of London with poppies added each day from 17 July, concluding 11 November.
The project was conceived by artist was Paul Cummins, with setting by Tom Piper, and was designed to appear as a sea of blood spilling out.
The title of the piece comes from a poem in the unsigned will of an unknown soldier who died in the war: "The blood swept lands and seas of red, / Where angels dare to tread"
