Re: Lend-Lease GB (1/1/09-7/1/09)

	Very nice groundwork and figure. When put together with that awesome Buffalo, it looks really good. The natural backdrop with the mountains really makes it look like it is really in Java. The only easy day was yesterday - U.S. Navy Seals

Re: Lend-Lease GB (1/1/09-7/1/09)

	Aggieman, Jmart, Warhammer, thanks for the kind comments. The backdrop pic is my favorite too. Thanks also for your patience with all the pics. I had alot of fun with this build and I'm planning on building another Buffalo. An F2A-3 in service with VMF221. I believe it wouldn't qualify for this GB though. Best Regards, Mobious PS. During construction of the Buffalo, my son has asked to build a few aircraft kits with me! "You can't hear me?

	Thanks stickman, Even though it's an older model (1974) I was happy with the detail and ease of assembly. Thanks for checking in and the comments. Mo "You can't hear me?

	Mobious: She's a beaut'! Your Buffalo came out stunning, those problems you had with filters simply vanished. Heck I can't even tell their were any problems if you didn't mention them. Congrats on finishing your build and on having the first completed build for the Lend-Lease GB. Lookin' forward to your DUKW. Roster has been updated.

	Hey mg.mikael thanks for the comments. Will have to be rearranging The Bunker in order to accomodate an additional bench for my son. Looking forward to his first completed aircraft. I think he's talking about a P38. One of my favorite aircraft. Thanks again for all who checked in and big thanks for the positive comments. Looking forward to getting started on the DUKW soon.

	Hey white, The Studebaker chassis is looking excellent. I like the turned front wheels. Nice job on the chassis. "You can't hear me? YOU CAN'T HEAR ME!!?,The reason you can't hear me is, You're firing your mortar on your end and they're landing here on our end!!" Big Joe

	White_R34: Lookin' good! Hmmmm......I wonder if Revell and Italeri use the same mold. Because last year I built the Revell 1/35 BM-13, and the instructions/pieces all look exactly like the ones in your Italeri kit. "There's nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight."- Lon Chaney

Re: Lend-Lease GB (1/1/09-7/1/09)

	mpkev31b: Nice looking Soviet Sherman! The decals look great and I love the track weathering. Only thing that could make the tracks look better, is some dry-brushing of steel in order to show a more used vehicle, other then that the tracks look great. I'd also like to suggest that you use a wash in your weathering process of armor. Your already using pastels which is great, but a burnt umber wash could really make the detail stand out. By the way, now that you finished your build you can claim the badge you earned. "There's nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight."- Lon Chaney

Re: Lend-Lease GB (1/1/09-7/1/09)

	A bit of progress on my P-39 over the weekend. I painted and added all the armament in the nose. The wings are glued together but not yet sanded to remove any seams. I used them in these pics to hold the fuselage halves together for the pics. These are just "placement" pics... most is not yet glued in place. "be happy in your work" [IMG]

Re: Lend-Lease GB (1/1/09-7/1/09)

	Thanks guys! I am really enjoying building this kit. Good thing I have two more in my stash that I can trick out a bit more... I think I will certainly do that on the Pro Modeler one. There is a lot I want to try and do with it. And since these are nice small planes, they do not take up much room More to come as progress happens.... "be happy in your work" [IMG]

	It sure is quiet, where is everyone? Because it seems dead quiet around here, and no one seems to be chattin'. Anyways...... mpkev31B: Since you finished your Lend-Lease Sherman you can claim your badge. By the way, just because you finished doesn't mean you have to dissapear, you're welcome to still hang out here and comment on fellow modelers builds. stikpusher: Mighty fine progress.

Re: Lend-Lease GB (1/1/09-7/1/09)

	Well I recently got new hours and a new job position at work. They are cutting in to my building time quite a bit so far. But I will keep the updatews coming as progress is made. I tried to drill out the exhaust stacks but they are not coming along well, so it looks like a trip to the LHS is in order for a set of Ultracast exhausts... Maybe he will have some of the new Dragon Guadalcanal Marines in too... "be happy in your work" [IMG]

Re: Lend-Lease GB (1/1/09-7/1/09)

	mpkev31B, a nice looking Sherman, I agree with you about the additional stowage. Stikpusher, looking forward to seeing progress pics on the Aircobra. Heck, I had to pick one up. I'd no idea they were used by so many nationalities. It seems they were very popular with Soviets due to the heavy firepower. mg.mikael, started on the DUKW. Not alot accomplished. Got the molded on intake screens removed and the one side finished up. A tedious amount of work involved with that little project, but I think it will pay off in the After Action Reports. Anyway, I'll post some pics when I've more done. Mobious "You can't hear me?
