Bad Influence....

I'm disappointed in you Ricardo .... where's the Shermies ?

It's good that we have been able to lure you over to the dark side.

Hurry up and get a camera !!!!! We want pix.

You said it shermanfreak! Welcome rickyinc63 to the Dark Side indeed! Why is it that we tread-heads are despised for depicting scenes of the realities of war on the ground and fly-boys, by virtue of their lofty altitude, can distance themselves from the destruction their machines wrought, and the associated stigma? Just a rhetorical question, but I think it's true.

That's SOME production you have going on there!

hey ricardo,
although i wouldn't exactly describe myself as a "tread-head" (!), i love armour...good to have you with us!
still love my planes as well though!!!..as you may see by my quote below (some chap who saved all our a*ses, that's all!)
take care
nick

It's like a disease really.

When I stared modelling way way back in my college years, I was only interested in airplane models.

After a long long lay-off, I returned to the hobby late last year with an M4A4 and that was it. In less than a year and with about 24 kits done, 60% of those are armor kits. Still two more uncompleted kits. All I can think now is to buy more armor kits. I have almost forgotten about planes.

Am I in the "dark side" already?

ricky:
i know exactly what u mean ! in the short time i've been modeling armor, i've done a Chieftain, Sheridan and Universal Carrier, M-1e1, and T 34 in 1/72 and am working on BRDM-3 and M41 walker bulldog in 1/35, Sherman M4 in 1/72 and Hetzer in 1/76... meanwhile, my model railroad lies dormant, and only the few pieces that i'd already started are getting any attention. maybe that's why they call it the dark side, 'cause it's soooo tempting !
btw, thx for the reply to my Abrams camo question way back... it looks pretty good in white, grey and green even if i had to hand paint it in hard edge camo instead of the soft pattern in GSM.

Wow, I'm surprised at this much support thank you guys and girls it's fun to be on the dark side :-D.....
ShermanFreak: actually I have to Shermans under contruction, one is a early production one and the other one is a close support one, I just haven't finish them because I've been applying pretty much everything that I have learned from this forums into them.
Frostygirl: You are most certainly welcome, I'm glad that you finished your M1, I bet that it looks awesome, if you need an airbrush let me know I have one that I don't use at all, and I would be more than glad to provide it to another modeler.

And once again.... thank you all of you for your great support......

2 Shermans ...... 2 you say ?????

I'm no longer disappointed Ricardo ....... I'm now proud of you !!!!!

Of course now you are on the extreme dark side !!!!!!!!!! LOL

Hey Ricardo what about Leopards?

Tigers, Tigers, Tigers (and Panthers)


PS......

While the fly-boys get to sleep in their nice, warm barracks, we tread heads must sleep with our armor (sometimes under it). That is the reason we take care of our own

Shermanfreak.... thamks..........
Scoccia: I'm still in a budget and I buy what my hobby lobby store carries so as soon as they get a leopard I'll be happty to get it under way.......
Erock:: i totally agree with you.....Like I said to Scoccia.... Hobby Lobby hasn't brought any tigers, but as soon as they do I'll let you know...

Regards....

Ricky (you; my friends from the other side might call me ricky)

try and get a Kingtiger

Hoezit Hoezit
I hav only 1 model and that is a King Tiger(got pics just need them posted) and I am already feeling the darkness because I dont think I will ever look at anything else. I am glad I am not the only 1 out here who feels Armours grasp getting stronger and stronger until it has u and pulls u 2 the DARK SIDE.

Keep well.

I can knock out a tank or IFV in about half the time it takes for a bird, I guess because weathering is so much easier, or not as many decals, or something. Just something I've been wondering about. Opinions? demono69 Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, September 3, 2003 3:30 PM Rofl... Since returning to the hobby I continually buy Aircraft kits, that continually stay in mint condition in their boxes collecting dust on the garage shelves. Tank kits dont even get a chance to see the scenery in the den before they are brutally constucted without a second thought... Maybe I am a double agent? Count Dooku perhaps?

Yes I'm serious... is a starter kit but it should help you for a while until you get something better.... just let me know Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Monday, September 8, 2003 9:39 PM Frosty... I got your e-mail... sorry that I haven't sent it yet... I've been pretty busy I should send it at the end of this week... Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Friday, September 12, 2003 10:17 AM ricky: thx for the reply, and please don't worry about however long it takes. now that i'm back in school, the only time i can get online is when i'm helping out in the school library, like now..kind of makes it hard to keep up with everything around here ! i hope all is going well with u, and good luck with whatever is keeping u so busy these days...
