His and Her Artillery (Pics!!)

Nice work Chris and Mrs Lizardqing !!! I can't wait to see round 2

You need to provide us with some good close ups so we can judge em!!

Eric

What a great concept, I like it. I talked to my wifey and she thought it was neat. So will she do it.....I won't hold my breath. Lizard, you are a lucky man. Nice job by the way.

Both look good from where I'm sitting! I'd call this round a draw...

*DING* And there's the bell to start round 2...

I'd praise you Lizardqing, but that would be redundant. Your wife did a terrific
job on that howitzer; very impressive. How long did it take her to complete it?

Roy

Now that is what I call perfect harmony.

Nice work Lizardqing2 and Lizardqueen2.

It took her a couple of weeks of working in it when she could. Biggest hold up was running out of propellent and wally world did'nt have any. If you are wondering the next round is going to be U.S. and German Halftracks. Should begin within a week.

Who gets the 251/D? Sounds too cool. Maybe my wifey would be up to a Panther or Tiger his/her. Yah, I'm in lala land.

Well she don't want anytthing to with german stuff, guess she feels like she would be going against the u.s.

Great stuff you two .... good work on both of the kits.

Stuck together with CA glue .... now there's romance !!!!!

Neat work from both of you. Can't wait to see the halftracks! !

Very well done on both of your parts. Now, if I can get my wife to do the same...

I can see the movie now: Love and Models: the CA Connection. Wait, that sounds too much like a game show.

I think they both look great. Neat idea of doing opposing forces. Ofcourse, in a contest, the wifey winds, no matter :)

Nice work. I want to see pictures when your wife builds that big tank.

Good guns from the both of ya!

Hey, that's a great idea.... well,....since I am not married, I battle my friend in modeling...I'll ask him! COOL IDEA Go Mrs. Lizardqing2!

Nice looking artillery you have there

Chris,
PLEASE tell me either
a) this is not Lizardqween2's first kit
OR
b) there is a big glue fingerprint on the other side of that Howitzer

because that is a fine looking artillery piece she has done.
(nothing wrong w/ your Pak, but i expect that from you! )

Well sorry to say wildwilliam , this is her first build and no finger prints. Did better than I have on more than one kit. Allthough i did hear about how it felt wierd to have the end of a finger glued to the end of a finger nail. She did'nt give up though and is now working on an amphibious jeep.

Your good lady is better that me already, man i should stick to planes, Greg

Chris,
sounds like she will have a shorter learning curve than some of us.
perhaps it is your stellar example?

Darned women and their fine motor skills! Both look great! I wonder if my wife would like a Stuart for Chirstmas... or even before!

Ron.

Nice work, both of you. Showed my wife the pics; all she could say was "Why is Hers bigger than His?"

If you use propellant, maybe one of those adapters for a car tyre might be a handy "back up" when you run out of cans. Then all you two will need to worry about is who is going to pump the spare back up.

Seriously though, I recently bought an "El Cheapo" 2.4 HP compressor from my hardware store for AUD $99 (about USD$66) which is about 1/4 of the price of dedicated Modelling Compressor here in Australia. It came with a regulator and a water trap, which necessary here in Humid Queensland. My Aztec 4709 fit without any problems and it works great. Maybe you can find something similar over there.

Yeah, it is noisier than my old, dearly departed modelling compressor, but hey, you only need to fill it once per session. Seeing as you both build, the Mrs probably won't complain of the noise anyway.

Looking forward to Round 2

Happy Modelling

Yea Peter my wife wife made the same comment, women and thier hang up on size!
I found a 2.5 gal compressor at home depot for about the same price. Going to get it as soon as I have the spare cash, or at least that which an be safely diverted. Probally be useing it alot seeing how I have the winter to sit at home with nothing else to do.

Wives with same opinion: You know what they say
"Great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ".
Ouch, I felt Mrs LQ2's slap on the back of my head way over here

Why don't you two do like the ducks and migrate each winter. Then again, hibernating in the home like a bear, cuddling up to Mrs LQ over the modelling table is probably a waaayyyy better idea.

Have fun you two


Happy Modelling
Peter
