AMT/Ertl Cardie cruiser WIP *UPDATE 08/03/08*

I think that you've got yet another winner, Tom!

A small update. I have completed the first bit of shading on the body of the model.

Next I will follow with MM Red-Brown Italian Camo.

Alright, Joey, here you go.  I guess you forgot about these, eh?  And keep right on forgettin' about 'em, even when they're re-introduced to you. 

Some of my Finished Works <-- thread here at FSM.  I'm still not really happy w/the ARVEY Model Products Mineral Ship paintjob, but I just wanted to finish the darned thing, so did. 

This is you right? http://members.aol.com/jakster33/K-22BoP.html http://members.aol.com/cultworks/Korlas.html http://members.aol.com/griffyards/GriffsBench_JAN08.html Have you done anything recently, that you finished? I mean, you know, something that looks like it's finsihed? I have to ask, what model paints do you use? Sorry to get off topic here. That is some fine work.  :)

Yep, those're mine.  The K-22 Klingon Bird-of-Prey and Korlas - along with most all of those other finished models on my site to which you didn't link this time - were finished well over ten years ago, even tho some of those pics are w/in the last five or so years.  I've learned quite a lot in the intervening time.  As hobbiests, most of us tend to learn from our mistakes. 

As I've mentioned many, many times, Joey, I don't claim to be a great modeler nor a fast builder.  Someone else seems to keep making those claims on my behalf.  I do this as a hobby, for fun.  And yes, I have a whole lot of models that aren't finished.  But I've got more models finished right now than I did three years ago.  It helps that my kids are all getting older, thus require a bit less attention than before.  That allows me a bit more time to work on models - when I feel I've got the free time to devote, anyhow. 

What's your point about unfinished models, anyhow?  I know a LOT of other modelers who have a number of unfinished models. 

As for paints, I currently mostly use either Tamiya rattlecans or Model Masters paints.  You?

Now...  Since you called me out, when are you going to show us some of your finished work...? 

Please start your own thread, tho, so that we don't continue to derail Tom's beautiful Cardie Galor-class build thread.

I too would like to see some more of his work.  Those look pretty good, but the pics are a little blurry.  (no offense, I suck at photography myself)  Beowolf47, you've got good taste.  Those are some nice builds.  Bravo.

Anyway, Mad Klingon, I love the finish you are applying to this one.  Like your Gorlos, which I have and LOVE! this too will be a fantastic peice!!

I like the shading around the panel lines; I do the same sort of thing w/ my buildups. Adds a level of depth to a relatively flat surface. More please.

I agree, nice work. Can't wait to see it done.

You're the one who build that?  I really liked that one.  It looked like a lot of work.   My wife  noticed it too.

Has anyone posted pictures from that contest?  Mine didn't come out too well.
