Behold, the long awaited decals!

It took just shy of a month for these two decal sheets from Samuel Decal to finally make it over from Hong Kong. How amazing modern civilization has become that a letter can now safely travel half way around the world only to be folded in half by a representative of the United States Government. Fucking hell. At least the damage isn't too bad and mostly across decals that are in abundance elsewhere on the sheets. I'm a little disappointed by the sheets though. Upon closer inspection it's apparent that there's maybe four different designs repeated ad nauseum. There was a lot greater variety across Samuel's Red/Blue frame prints. I also noticed that he used gibberish for some of the text, but didn't bother to do anything about it when he started printing 1/60 scale sheets. The large caution triangles read "Caution gkhihksdgfk abfjkasf asfhiasf" which loosely translates to "Caution: Plot Armor." But for all the negative things I have to say, at least they look damn good...

With nicer weather I've also been able to move my painting operation back outside. My fan & filter combo wasn't doing nearly enough to capture all of the excess paint...
