Hobbies That Keep Me Busy in Retirement – Scale Modeling #3

Posted on April 15, 2025 by Just Chuck

My second model for 2025 is completed. The Revell AH-64 Apache Helicopter is what I recently completed. I am fairly happy with it but it was not easy. It is rated a Level 4 out of 5, so maybe I should stick to Level 3? There was frustration dealing with a lot of small parts like handholds that required gluing onto the main piece. In the end I eliev it came out alright, especially after I did some weathering to it to make it look like a used helicopter.

Below are selected pics from the build and a video on YouTube detailing the steps with commentary to the pics.

Album of the Month – The Godz by The Godz

Posted on April 1, 2025 by Just Chuck

I covered The Godz debut album a couple of years ago on this blog. Since that time, I’ve launched a YouTube channel called Retirement Ain’t Easy, and on the channel I have been presenting Album of the Month through videos. So I will be rehashing a number of old blog posts as YouTube videos. The videos allow me to expand more from the blog postings.

For April’s Album of the Month here on the blog it is The Godz debut album The Godz. On my YouTube channel this album was March’s Album of the Month.
