Jo Jo Rabbit movie?

Obviously satire, so don't eviscerate me with facts :x I saw a trailer for this a while ago while glancing at upcoming movies, the 2nd trailer; checked out the reviews (mostly 20 somethings who seemed more adept at talking about never ending marvel movies, not late war German efforts)- I saw it last...

I figure about half that fee would be for ups, usps, or fedex; so there you go- 15.00 in a piece of paper in an envelope would suffice to my home address- lmk if any interest

It is tedious, but it is kind of relaxing, too. Held up to a table lamp, one can see the frame outlines pr...

:o well....obviously if it wasn't for Kevin and Burt at the local Hobby Town, it would still be a lovely shade of luftwaffe light blue all over; as it has been for several weeks. A postcard size piece of thin cardboard/stiff paper and a hole puncher is so simple, I would have never figured that out....

I think I can improve with rattle cans and punched out patterns on manila folders. I think I should have had the pattern closer to the surface, though

Re: My 32nd AC- Zircus Rosarius to the rescue

That's an obvious idea, naturally I didn't think of that! Until I put the effort into learning how to airbrush or be more effective with rattle cans; I'll probably stick with the simple schemes

New schemes to renew my interest in my 21st AC.
