I pulled down an abandoned hummingbird nest to show a scale of size of a typical anna's hummingbird nest.
This was a large, beautiful model with an onboard smoke system that was used to good effect. I think it's a clipped-wing T-Craft 15A, but I can't swear to that.
Notice the burned-out field in the background.
Sepulveda Basin, at a Scale fun-fly
I just like the colour contrasts, the bright ferns and tree against the brooding sky, and the lichen adds a splash of yellow on the posts. The path on the right is the circular route around Scaling Dam reservoir, we should have worn more waterproof shoes!
There were a number of models on static display, and a lot of them were very impressive. This was one of the models that caught my eye.
Seen at the Academy of Model Aeronautics Expo 2013, in Ontario, CA
Balkan Green Lizard - These are quite common on site and big enough(20-30cms) to make you jump if they rustle through the undergrowth. Our favourite was the one that would gingerly cross the path right in front of us every morning as we sat and drank our first cofee of the day. Be interesting to see if it's still there this summer.
Upper hull sitting on the lower hull. The Merkava IV has an easy to model shape. Mostly straight lines from front to back.

1/72 SCALE TYPE VIIC Submarine U-654
The German Navy (Kriegsmarine) relied on its submarines to attack Allied shipping in the Atlantic during World War II. With over 700 built the Type VIl was the most common class of submarine used by the Kriegsmarine.
In early 1942 the U-Boats arrived off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States and immediately began to take a heavy toll on American coastal shipping. The U-654 departed Lorient, France on July 11, 1942 to patrol in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.
On August 22nd the Submarine was sighted by the crew of a Douglas B-18 bolo flown by Captain P.A. Koenig of the 45th Bombardment Squadron 150 miles north of Colon, Panama. As the U-Boat dove to avoid the aircraft, Captain Koenig dropped four depth bombs which bracketed the submarine. The attack brought an oil slick and debris to the surface. Five more B-18s from the 45th joined the attack over the next few hours and dropped a total of 48 depth bombs on the U-654. A large oil sick and air bubbles were seen after the attack but official credit for the kill was not received until after the war when German records could be examined. The U-654 was the first submarine sunk solely by United States Amy Air Forces B-18B Bolos.

My friend Carew on Facebook asked me about n scale people in regards to my post last night of putting together a n scale building under construction model that I have lots planned for. I photographed one of my n scale workers and a wheel barrow, cement mixer, etc...in looking through the people I have and realized I don't have enough n scale workers to fill out this construction project. I'm going to order a few more. I do have lots of other things though such a garbage cans, crates, dumpers but I'm leaving out the best details until I finish the model and post photos of it. I'm really excited about this project. I think it will end up being my favorite models. 😃
