The instructions aren't has streight forward as I would liked and it took me a few minutes studying the instructions, studying the parts sprues, and even a glance or two at the image of the completed model.
This is a tiny model and care must be taken when removing parts from the sprue and during assemble. However, it will make for a very smart looking miniature model.
The swamp shack sits atop of its new deck. The deck I had originaly created was much too small for the hut. The shack needs some pilings and a couple of columns under the overhang of the porch. It has taken me a long time to complete this structure.
Some assembly is required. There are two oars, a plank for a seat, and a buffer that will need to be put in place. The resin piece will need a little clean-up with a file and then painted and weathered.
It looks like it might be a fun kit to build. I recently found a couple additional laser cut wooden kits that deserve another look.
This will be my second item listed under the new label of boat.

Although I don't have any imediate plans for this piece, it did catch my eye and I decided to purchase the piece. It will be added to my "small" projects, those that can be completd within a few hours. It also requires the new label of "boat".

Hay there tall, dark and handsome. Leave it to the Star Wars franchise to come up with a variety of droids. More information can found here about K-2S0 here.

"Did you know that wasn't me?"
Although not a perfect likeness, K-2SO 1 is similar to Asimov's robot depicted in the book art of this volumne.

Work is continuing on my first swamp shack. I was just working on the shacks platform today. The one that I previously made wasn't large enough to fit the near completed structure so I started a new one. This one with the new set of dimensions. It took me three tries to get the right look for a roof. At least the first and second attempts can be cut up and used as roof material for another structure.
The book art on the volume is one of my favorites and I would have loved to give credit to its author, but as of today I haven't been able to come-up with a reference for one. I will keep on trying.
"Elijah Baley, Earths most capable detective, took crime in his stride. But he had lived all his life in the underground cities, and the open, blazing sun of the planet Solario sent cold chills down his spine.
The Naked Sun is a rare and perfect blend of science fiction and detective story, with crime that could only take place in the future..."
The Naked Sun, Isaac Asimov, first copyywrite by I. Asimov in 1957, this Lancer Book (C) in 1964.

Okay, enough with the klondike emblems already. I just thought you might be curious to see what it looked like.
I also got a new card back. Which I thought was rather cute.
THe sqaure measures 100 long and approximaetly 40mm wide and is cast from an aluminum alloy, giving the sqaure some substance. I can set my walls assemblies next to the sqaure and allow them cure and plumb.
The 75 Best Sci-Fi Books of All Time
Here is another list. It is a long one and I am a little surprised on the titles and authors that were not listed. I have read a few of these titles and have least heard and have read from many of the listed authors.
You should know that I like to read science fiction, so I have another selection to choose from.
