                        btw, Frosty, it's nice to see you on and posting. I know you're busy with school and such, but it's good to hear from you.

                        that's so not true !!!!
                        if there is anything rite with my modeling, it's entirely due to what i'm learning here. if there's anything wrong with it, i'll take full responsibility for that part, no problem !
                        but thanx nonetheless!

                        I don't know, Frosty. With the number of kits you're cranking out, I think you're rapidly becoming the most experienced modeler out here.

                        ur M4A3 probably has as many parts in trax alone as one of my whole kits in 1/72 or 1/76... individual linx ? on the other hand, i probably spend half my time down on the floor looking for teeny tiny lost parts which have "tweezerpulted" to the far reaches of the room, and that'll really eat up ur modeling time !

                        i installed a new shelf over the dresser in my room last saturday to hold my ever-growing (but thankfully small-scale!)armor collection...

                        Cool. Looking forward to seeing the Pink Panther. Patton's Patton is coming along. Ordered Willie and George (no biggie that you thought they were Verlinden kiddo) and am looking forward to getting them. Maybe by then I'll be done with the paint job on the tank and can concentrate on them.
                        Churchills are awsome! A friend of mine also has a wife into armor and she has a bit of a problem walking, not much, just a bit. Anyhoo, he calls the Churchill the only handicapped accessible tank... due to the side doors being so nice and low to the ground! What a goof.

                        Don't think your stuff won't measure up Frosty, I say the same thing about mine and when I post them I get alot of constructive feedback and good comments, so I am sure you will be surprized at the great comments you will get from this fine forum.

                        before anyone starts getting the wrong idea, this batch of models is the result of about 3 months of work. i try to complete one model each week...sometimes i even succeed !
                        i'm begging for a digital camera (b-day and x-mas coming up, so there's hope !) so i can share my work with u good people, but i must be truthful and say that my stuff is still kind of crude compared to what i see here. but u have to start somewhere !

                        nope.... it's a regulation hetzer, but i didn't know how else to refer to the area in question ('the top thingy" was my other alternative..), even tho i knew i was wrong when i said it !

                        Frosty,
                        WOW!
                        i guess it is time for me to get the PzKpfw IV Ausf D back in progress!!
                        i *did* finish a wingy thing in the meantime . . .
                        but that cuts no ice in this forum!

                        you are a building machine.
                        PLEASE, get a digital camera for Christmas or something!
                        :-)

                        nice work!

                        Frosty,
                        You've finished more kits in the last week than I've completed in the last year.
                        Of course, if I could convince my wife and kids that I actually need time to build kits, I might get more done.
                        Good job! Pics forthcoming, right?

                        Actually, I'm working on Leopold, the Patton, an Aurora knight (for an article and just for FUN), and my 1/6 scale M5A1, not to mention pounding out a harness of steel plate armor (my second) at school in my spare time.... so I guess you're not alone in the 'doing more than one model' mode here. (I won't even mention the half finished kits in boxes and here at school!)

                        I dunno, it's fun for me to have several projects going at one time... even when I don't finish them!!! hmmmm.

                        You certainly have been busy Frosty!! I'm looking forward to pictures when you can get them. We'll probably have to set aside another website for your collection then! Wink [;)] Big Smile [:D]

                        Good grief!! Talk about not slacking...Isn't there some law somewhere that you can't build but so many kits in a week/month? Do we have to report you to Homeland Security for----uhh----proliferating weapons?? :)
                        Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the pictures.
