Wow, that's beautiful work! Congrads!

All done thanks for hosting Gamera all the builds in this GB were very good . HAPPY NEWYEAR to everyone. Here are the finished photos.

Yes, Happy New Year's to you and everyone!!!

LOL just joking  

we'll see next year , have a good new year festivity to all 

Bsyamato: Um, you already finished two kits which is better than I did - you earned your badge sir! 

Finish when you can - you can post the finished model here, or on GB II - it's up to you! 

Great  work Peter 

Just finished second layer of clear gloss before decals.. feels like impossible to finish before midnight .  Can i keep the badge even if i not finish the judy? 

Peter: She looks like she's coming along just fine! I suppose I can spot you a few more days if you still want to finish up here, or you're more than welcome to kick her over to GB II that's starting on Jan 1st.

I have just about finished the tamiya 1/48 A6M2 had problems with paint and the kit decals were a nightmare . Here are a few photos the cockpit photos were no good .Will post more when finished later today.

i hope so :) this afternoon painted the first layer for wings yellow stripes and refined the canopy with a toothpick

Nice job on the panel lines there Bsyamato- you're going to make the deadline yet!

Rick the Dinah came out sharp.very nicely done Sir! Chicken coop looks great too.

Bsyamato coming down to the wire,looks like its gonna be a close finish! Great looking build in the works really like the interior detail!

Sorry for the omission.  It's the 1/48 Tamiya kit.  I marked it up as a bird from Shinbu Sakura Suicide Attack Unit, Kanoya Air Base, Kagoshima Prefecture, May 1945.  Thanks, Rick

Thanks! Figured she was but wasn't sure. 

Another great Dinah!!  well done Wabashwheels

Rick: Wow, that's like the Chicken Hilton! One of my uncles used to have a chicken coop and it was just an old wooden shack with a chicken wire yard out in front - that's nice!

And the Dinah looks great too, really nice work! Love the in flight shots! I'd love to have you in Part II if you can make it, remember it's a whole year this time, no extensions or that jazz, so you've got plenty of time.

Just posted her to the roster. Seems I missed it somewhere but what scale and company is the Dinah if you would please? 

Hey guys,  I've been a drop out since early June.  I have kept in touch with some trolling, but sadly not any thing to contribute.  I had started a Mitsubishi Ki-46 III Dinah, but my wife pushed hard for a chicken coup, changing my building plans for the summer.  I would have procrastinated the coup idea, but she all of a sudden set up a brooder house in our dining room with 7 chicks.  Well, I got to work and built a home for the soon to be egg layers.  We're starting to get a few eggs now, and my wife is very happy.  So, here's my 1 to 1 scale model.  It really was fun.

Well the good news is that I was able to get moving on the Dinah around Thanksgiving.  I didn't get many wip photos, but I'd like to share some pics of the finished product.

Before I affixed the landing gear, I took some in flight shots.  I Photoshopped out the stand, but couldn't spin the props. 

Gamera, I'm happy to sneak this one in under the wire.  I can't give you a specific, but I'm looking forward to joining in on the 2013 version of this thread.  This has been a great group to watch and participate with.  Thanks,  Rick.

Looking good BSY... To cut way down on sanding time, I like take some acetone (finger nail polish remover) and dip a Q-tip into it and work the fresh putty with it. Careful though, too much acetone will soften and damage plastic and panel lines and rivets. It will smooth the putty really nicely and leave just a minimum ammount of sanding to do. I also like to use a scotch brite cloth to do the required buffing and clean up of any putty.

i hope  just sanding hard to prepare for paints !

Nice Bsyamato, she's coming right along! At this rate you won't have any problems being done by the end of the year.
