Yah, congrats Woody!

As for me, I turned Grandpa ~groans~ courtesy of my 17 year old daughter... but gotta love da baby!

http://www.newbabynews.net/hospitals/cen19/public/cen19birthannouncement.pl?babyID=h19-1191

Have always loved kids, so this one's coming welcome to me.

Will be re-visiting my Star Trek models over the next few days... I have the old three pack TOS Enterprise, Klingon Battlecruiser and Romulan Warbird minis, so think I might put some efforts to making them look sharp.

Very cute baby, Woody.  I have two daughters and love them both.  The first was an easy going lap sitting girl always listening to you and actually obeying the do not toch cry.  The other one (2 yrs. old), forget if it was for an anatomy she has the personality of a boy hoped up on Mountain Dew 24/7.  I have my hands full.  Every time she get into my hobby area and I ask what she is doing, she says, "I doin' somethin'".  I cringe at that response.  I love her though.  She may be the next modeller of the family.

Good question, I have no idea. As for what's going on with me, I entered seminary, and I got my 6 year old daughter back living with me, I am currently separated from her mother , and I got new job responsibilities. This week I have another sci fi convention to get read for. I am building Capt. Harlock's Arcadia along with his original ship the Death Shadow, and the Jolly Roger.  All threee of which have to be completed by friday week to make the con. Trying to cash in on the Pirate Craze to win some brownie points in the art contest.lolBig Smile [:D]

Yah, seemed everyone sorta fizzled.  I feel personally bad about this, and sort of buried my own failure to follow through... but I am not beyond jumping back on and finishing my own part in the near future.

Anyone else want to resurrect here?  I hereby go for it on my part, and apologize deeply for dropping the ball.

I'm still here. My new daughter, work, my wifes student teaching have eaten up most of my free time and stalled my hobby. Don't worry I'll be back in force.

Anybody heard from Woody in a while?



I talked to him a couple weeks back. He said things where fine but the family was very busy. I know how that is.  Hope things are still alright.

Well, we have three weeks or so until the "Day of Reckoning".  I know some of you have posted your projects on separate threads, but would love to see them come in here as well since a few may have slipped back into the backpages.

Any of ya, just let us all know how things are going, eh?

Also, I'll get that little badge I started wrapped up soon (see my signature below).  It sorta fell through the cracks. 

And I may even get my own model finished if I take time to sit and just do it!

I think I got everyone wanting in this, but to recap... here is the hitlist of the builders:

  • "Fish-Head Aric" Fisher: Something Federation-inspired, based off PL 1/1000 Enterprise Kit
  • Phillip Fisher (Fish-Head's Son):  PL 1/1000 Klingon D-7 Battlecruiser
  • Kathleen Fisher (Fish-Head's Wife):  Scratchbuilding a Daedelus class.
  • Woody:  Starfleet Battles Light Cruiser
  • Masao:  "Cadiprise" of own design  -  1/2500 Enterprise from Starship Modeler.
  • maxx1969:  Uncertain but with the program
  • ilikeswissmiss:  USS Grissom - Oberth Class ship
  • StevenQ:  Lyran cruiser  -  Romulan scout
  • SNOOPY:  Orion Pirate from Starfleet Battles, or Lufthansa Starliner (possible appearance of a Daedelus in the works)
  • MartianGundamModeler:  "...movie era Constitution Class refit/upgrade to Next Generation/DS9/Voyager standards"
  • Kevlar7764:  Modified PL 1/1000 Constitution-class model - yet to be named
  • ProfKSergeev:  "Accurised AMT/Ertl Enterprise D" - Starcrafts Oberth-Class, marked as the U.S.S. Tsiolkovski
  • deathbringer:  Klingon Bird of Prey
  • CSquared:  Kitbashing a Polar Lights TOS 1/1000 kit
  • joey_d1119:  "AGT Enterprise D"

    I've kinda stalled out myself. Last thing I completed were the warp engines" main pieces. I need to find some "nozzles" for the rear of them. The Rommie scout is primed and ready to paint.

    So, where are all of us at?  Been awhile no noise made.

    Personally, I set the Conny aside for a bit because I really needed to take a break.  But am picking it up and gonna git 'er done!  Forgetting about the drilling noles and such, I decided to just keep it to the known holes this time around.  Save fancier for bigger scales.

    I did take up a Hasegawa WWII German halftrack just to change.

    Call it therapy, right?

    How's everyone else coming?

    Looks like we all went quiet for awhile, hmmmm...

    Got you signed in there, joey.  Have been taken up with other things and not been around to make my peanut-comments.

    But, still here in a manner of speaking.

    You place bits of styrene scrap in a glass jar and add MEK or liquid cement untill it desolves into a goo. If it's too thin add more styrene.
