Very nice work Matt, I saw one of these combos fly overhead three years ago as it was being delivered to the Smithsonian or Udvaar Haazy center.  Your paint scheme on the cat is superb, would you be interested in painting my cat?

I know you said it had wort's but it looks good and the black background really works for that subject.

As seen at the October meeting, another review build for the IPMS (that's all I seem to build!). This time the Dragon 1/144 scale Space Shuttle Discovery and the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, N911NA.

The kit itself went together well, but as for the accuracy, the devil is in the details.

I had to move my photo setup out of my office/workroom because of the size of the 747 and stand height, so used some black photo-background paper in the garage. Our cat Cinnamon also felt like he wanted his picture made while I was in the garage, so a free bonus there, only for ES members.

Also, I now have a lifetime-supply roll of the black paper background. If anyone would like a yard of it, I can bring some to the next meeting.
