the doog

 

 DoogsATX:

 

 

 

My dad's....has that exact helmet. His only-ever foray into anything motorsports related, but it's friggin' cool. 

Very thankful that - while I enjoy some sports - I never got bit by the memorabilia bug. Way more expensive than $229.

 

That's pretty cool, Doogs! Johnny R was my favorite driver when I was a young doog. I always loved that simple graphic on his helmet. And his Gatorade car, along with that other orangey McLaren!

 

I was a big Rick Mears fan as a kid - but then I grew up in the 80s when it was him, AJ Foyt, Bobby Rahal, Al Unser, Jr and the like battling it out at the Brickyard. Loved the obnoxious yellow Pennzoil car.

On the Bench: 1/32 Trumpeter P-47 | 1/32 Hasegawa Bf 109G | 1/144 Eduard MiG-21MF x2

Herc: Thanks! As I've said before I love those Japanese planes you turned out for the GB, the Storch is great and I love the Airacobra!

Bsyamato: Yes, I think the nudes come in several scales including 1/24. Nice kits, they come with a bunch of arms, legs, bodies, and heads you can glue together to get the pose you want. Sculpting the clothes is a little harder, I had a hard time doing the high heels for the young ladies.

Hey Bsyamato: The gals are Preiser from Germany nudes with milliput clothing. They're actually fifty-four mm figures but they sorta work for one/thirty-fifth (guy broke the five key on the offfice computer- don't know how Hmm). They scale out as almost 6 feet / 1.82 meters tall- tall, which makes them taller than the tank crew- but thankfully with the guys in the tank you can't really tell the scale is off.

 

the box i miss Hmm i'm plenty of 1/160-144-87-72 figures from preiser but it's hard to find them out these scales here! And don't have a credit card Whistling  the same figure box i think is avaible even on 1/24 that matching perfect with cars. 

 

Hercmech

Some nice builds there Mr Turtle!

Ditto

 

Nathan the double post don't count on final finished number LOL nice great pieces Yes

Tojo nice armours there. Like too much the m-47 i have one too in 1/35.. the only 1/35 armour i have.

Trumpeter 1/48 F9F Panther

Early Jets GB: Finemolds 1/48 Nakajima Kikka

Classic Airframes 1/48 Vampire two-seat trainer

Odd Animal GB: Czech Model 1/48 Ryan Dark Shark

Manny's HO GB: Nakajima Ki-229 Allied code: JEFF

Wheeeeeee! That's more than I thought! Going to get some armour done next year, and who knows maybe even a ship or two!

Wow everyone's builds look fantastic. Here's mine.

Tamiya's 1/35 AAV, scratched the EAAK mounting bosses.

 

Would've finished a couple more but with classes, lacrosse, and moving  I just couldn't get to the bench. Oh well, maybe next year.

Slow builders? Ok.....I'll see your slow builds, and raise you an 'incomplete.' My accomplishment in 2011, although it is completely scratchbuilt:

Destined to go in this, and hopefully soon:

My dad's....has that exact helmet. His only-ever foray into anything motorsports related, but it's friggin' cool. 

Very thankful that - while I enjoy some sports - I never got bit by the memorabilia bug. Way more expensive than $229.

That's pretty cool, Doogs! Johnny R was my favorite driver when I was a young doog. I always loved that simple graphic on his helmet. And his Gatorade car, along with that other orangey McLaren!

Marc, if you don't mind me asking, why were you going to give up. We have lost a few great modellers from here over the last couple of years, glad you didn't go as well.

I also built Johnny Rutherford's 1975 "Gatorade" McLaren C/D.

My dad's a ridiculous sports memorabilia junkie (I totally know where I got my slightly obsessive collecting tendencies!). Has things like a pair of Muhammed Ali's boxing gloves, pair of Gretzky's skates, more signed balls, bats and sticks than you can believe...and he has that exact helmet. His only-ever foray into anything motorsports related, but it's friggin' cool.

Man,there are some nice models being posted here that I've never seen! It's been a busy year for me, with moving to North Carolina. I haven't been on here as much as I want to be...nice planes, Scorpiomikey, and Doogs--you've had quite some output!

When I look back on 2011, I"m surprised to see that all of my completed models have thus far been car models!

I have finished several of an eclectic group:

The AMT 1965 Lincoln Continental "Never Wuz" wagon--never actually produced, but an option in the box that I couldn't resist. I modified the rear hatch and window arrangement.

 

I also built Johnny Rutherford's 1975 "Gatorade" McLaren C/D.

Then I built a Boss 351 from the old MPC kit.

I sandwiched in a jeep for Jenn...this is the "Daisy Duke" jeep kit painted as per Jenn. my fiance's desire...

And I just finished a 1971 Mach 1 from the same AMT kit based on the Boss 351 kit previously completed.

And I've still got my Tiger Coelian on the bench--that's NEXT! (back to the battlefield from the garage!)

I plan on more armor in 2011...Big Smile

Thanks slusher. It was a paint scheme i found (with the help of a few guys here) from the have blue project. It was how it was meant to be painted before the USAF said "Paint it black"

Cant find the original drawing of the paint scheme. But the colours i used i think were Tamiya AS-14/15 and 16. I think.

That a great collection there Doogs. I really look forward to seeing them, and in my books, your certainly amongst the top builder on here.

As for me, this year has been the slowest ever, with the exception of the 5 years away from the bench. Only one completed build. academys B-17F.

Next year isn't gpoing to be any better. But hopefully, by 2013, i will be able to get back into it fully.
