The Magic Kingdom (and Disney's California Adventure)

Fall Break. Disneyland. Cousins. Grandparents. Fun.


Nothing a few years of therapy won't solve.....



Reunited and it feels so good.


This needs to be an album cover....


Prepare for blast off...

VACATION !

Fall break has arrived and it's time for SoCal with a little side trip for U. Bump and myself (AC/DC in Vegas !).

Time to clear out pictures from the camera so we take a ton at Disneyland this weekend. Here's some that had been hanging around:

Locked, cocked


Ready to rock


Target acquired


Attack!


Retreat!

Model geekery:


My first Mustang. I never liked the look of the P-51 but I came around while building this one up. I showed it to Kim when it was about 90% done and she said it looked like a shark....which is cool.



A Corsair for a former Bachelor made on spec. Pappy Boyington's from a photo op in 1943.


A Yak-15 for me w/Italian marble base. Marble was detritus from fine Carrara marble that a sculptor who works at the museum had brought back. Interesting plane - At the close of WWII Russian's took jet engines from captured Me-262's and stuck them on the front of some prop-driven Yak fighters to see what would happen. What happens is that your engine's exhaust melts your tail wheel....replace with all metal tail wheel.
