You gotta stay focused!

After starting the build, I entered into a really busy period at work – grading papers, reviewing student theses, trying to get two courses underway simultaneously while also running a seminar in the Asia-Pacific Regional Studies elective, and preparing and giving my annual lecture on warfare in ancient Asia.

I tried to squeeze a little model building time in before leaving for work in the mornings (when I got home after dark each night, I was too hammered to cut, score, fold, and glue). Apparently I wasn’t focusing closely enough on what I was doing because this evening I discovered that I had inserted the last fuselage former upside down.

I have now printed out another copy of the model and after the Easter weekend, when I will be busy with the grandsons, I will start over, still hoping to have Big Daddy 77 on display at Paper Modelers at Army Heritage Days 19 and 20 May.

Will keep you informed.
