Painting continued on Star Wars’ figures. Sorry about the late posting.

I'm not much of an airbrush guy so I tend to let time go by between using mine, and that means I have to relearn the feel of painting with one. The other day a neighbor asked me if I would paint something for him with my airbrush so I got it out and confronted the fact that I hadn't used it in a couple years. It was time for some relearning. I had a diecast Texaco Lockheed Express (1929) sitting on my workbench (it had been there for a couple years), so I decided to relearn on it... I love the planes, but I don't like all the Texaco signage. The end result is far from a masterpiece, but I relearned a lot, and now the plane is more than a paperweight.

With the Lockheed Express done, I decided to continue my airbrush skill development by painting two more Texaco diecast airplanes: a 1936 Keystone-Loening Commuter (“The Duck”) and a 1929 Curtis Robin.

I ended the week painting more Star Wars figures: Ewoks and Inquisators.

Most of the week was spent painting figures for my Star Wars collection, but I did find time to add a new anchor (found at the swap meet) and chain (rather than the string it came with) to my WIP airship gondola.

I began the week modifying and painting the Monster Ball Draculaura Chocolate Fountain, a toy I found at the swap meet for $1.

The rest of the week was spent painting Star Wars-related figures.
