Hello, since you are all eager to have me in your GB, it seems that I don't have much choice in the matter So I started working on the Carrera GT yesterday, and did some work on it today, this is what I have so far...   All the paints used are either Tamiya acrylics or the Tamiya rattle cans. This is not my first project, but it has been a while since I've done some modelling.

PC and LP,

Nice work on the 1 to 1 two legged model.  He is real cute and the panel lines seem pretty realistic as well as the paint job.

Darwin, O.F. 

I am back! Thank you for all your congrats! Here is a picture of the baby but I have to go feed him now. Talk to you all later. 

Let me add my congratulations to the new modeler, Mom & Dad.  My prayers are certainly with you for the immediate medical problem and for your future as a family.  Best of everything to all of you.

Darwin, O.F.

Congratulations to Pink Chevelle for completing her first model.  He is a one to one scale and lifted off the launch pad at 5 pounds 5 ounces.  I hope she didn't break a bottle of champagne over his bow, but he was christened "Aiden William".  Some guy by the name of "The Last Priest" had something to do with the keel laying function.  AD had some medical difficulties and had to return to the hospital, but we are all hoping for the best.

Congrats.  My cousin's boy was married 7-7, with his little boy acting as ringbearer. (Landon wasn't to happy about walking imto a room full of strangers and leaving his mama so his grandpa had to carry him. )

You've been busy doing lots of things. Congrats, good job and lots of luck

Ditto Yardbird's comments.  How is the two legged model building project progressing?

Grandma L

The wife and I were out of town on vactio for a couple of weeks and I got behind in my postings.  To Pink Chevelle and LastPriest:

Congratulations and may you have a long and happy marriage.

Darwin, O.F.

Alright, alright, he wins, here is some pictures of my airbrush job on the body of my car. I am airbrushing out doors, so there is plenty of ventilation, no worries!

Miss G- once we were both in a GB for the SAC which got abandoned. I've invested a bunch of time in a semi scratchbuilt/ really heavy kitbash C-54 for that one that I want to finish. You were showing some F-84s. Can we renew this deal and finish? Post in that GB if you can.

I am in awe of your NMF skills.

Hey, where is everyone?  I haven't had time to do any modeling lately, so the Phantom is still sleeping in it's box.

W OW !!!!  A modern day kid with modesty.  That is something different.

Darwin, O.F.  

PC.  How'd the DR appt go?  Everything is OK, I hope.

Darwin, O.F. 

Go for it.  You can do it.  Those Airfix Phantom kits are great for practice anyway.  They don't have a lot of nit pickin' detail to worry about.  Just do the basic building and then fire away with the airbrush.

Darwin, O.F.

Where have all the ladies gone?  No posts for almost two weeks.  Let's see some more of those beautiful models.Darwin, O.F.

I have been looking through hubby's stash of kits and decals trying to decide what will be my next project. I want to do another ANG plane and found a sheet of markings for an F4C from a Texas unit that is gloss gray. I was born and raised in Texas. The only 1/72 C model Phantoms he has are three of the old Airfix kits. Hubby says they have several scale fidelity issues and pointed them out to me, but I will probably build one of them anyway, just for the experience. The three planes I have done so far were all with aerosol cans and I need to try something for an airbrush. That scares me.
