                        Junior,

                        Jepot's got a point, man. Why in heaven's name wont you enter that Tiran? You gotta share that beauty with the rest of the modeling community.

                        As for the dozer, I always knew you werent kidding. It was only a matter of time. Wink [;)]

                        Beth,

                        The guys are right. NEVER be ashamed to show off your work. CBraincouldnt have said it better. Like I always say, we all know the effort put into every model. Not everyone can build models, so be proud. We're a breed apart from the rest.

                        Teka, baka mamya magulat naman kami sa ganda ng kits mo. Pa humble ka lang kunyari? Big Smile [:D]Smile [:)]Wink [;)]

                        Lipton,

                        You also have a lot of fans in IPMS BAC Im sure. And we can all see why. Keep it up, my friend. And looking forward to seeing your students in the meets. Smile [:)]

                        Thanks for the kind words. :o)

                        I have built OOB models too. An M-10 tank destroyer and a Humvee. However, I have not brought it up to the meetings for a photo session. I'll bring it next meeting so Buck(allan) and/or Cbrain can take photos. I'll post 'em here just for you (oh ha!), they're my earlier builds though, so don't expect something fantastic. ;o)

                        Jmfrancisco:[:0] Wow. That looks amazing. Are the armor blocks you used scratchbuilt? You are very good!

                        If you don't mind I also want to share some progress pics of my Dragon Firefly VC.







                        I am building it OOB only.

                        I also have completed this diorama a couple of weeks ago featuring Tamiya's M4A3 105. I built the tank OOB and just added some Dragon figures. The base is scratchbuilt. Comments and suggestions are welcome. I really need a few tips from armor guys like you.

                        This is the Tamiya T-55A. I finished this already as a Russian T-55, but I really want to create an Iraqi T-55 Enigma, but that time I don't have the proper measurements and other data. Now that I have it, I stripped the paint and removed most parts to convert it to an Enigma.

                        I know I should have bought a new kit rather than literally "bash" a finished one, but as BigMan's favorite phrase goes; ...the kit is very "extensive" Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]

                        To Do: Add armor blocks for the turret, Armor/Shield for the rear of the turret, Fuel tanks and lines, Fuel drums, and paint.

                        thanks man, you're doing more than you think, i'll bring it next meet, but, the tank took some damage during storage and had to undergo repairs.Smile [:)] its an early version of the Tiran 5 as its sports the sainai scheme which later became grey (rancie is more familiar with this scheme) i was thinking of upgrading the kit by adding reactive armour i saw in a photo still my references aren't enough same goes for the USMC M-46dozer.Smile [:)]

                        That method is my tried and true method. If you did'nt get the decal to conform in one go, dip the cloth again to a hot (not boiling ;o) ) water and apply pressure again. Keep the pressure a liitle longer. The pressure should be hard enough, but not too hard that you'll ruin the decal or the model... he he he. Oh! BTW, use a fine fabric cotton cloth.

                        Mang Ernie: Why dont you include your armored might in the Nationals? Itll be a shame if you just let the effort go to waste... as in my kits in my office- not really worth showing off! Go for it Mang Ernie!!!

                        Wawawiwawww! Ang gandaganda naman nyan! (Its so beautiful) Could you bring that on one of our meets? Wanna see it in flesh, and perhaps ask some pointers. The finish is soooo perfect. Wish I can produce a beauty like that. :o(

                        When I finish my wild cat, I'll help you with the Bay. ;o)

                        My entries will be a long shot. Too many things to do. But I'm making progress in a 'piece by piece' way. he he ;o)

                        smvillalon
                        That method is my tried and true method. If you did'nt get the decal to conform in one go, dip the cloth again to a hot (not boiling ;o) ) water and apply pressure again. Keep the pressure a liitle longer. The pressure should be hard enough, but not too hard that you'll ruin the decal or the model... he he he. Oh! BTW, use a fine fabric cotton cloth.

                        Good day!

If i remember right somewhere around page 40-50 of this thread was your last post; you also have been sorely missed here- specially at the BAC where as i said, a LOTof people have been waiting to see you and are looking for you- as a matter of fact, Bert had already passed away even without seeing you; too bad, but his HEIRS are still around; do drop by more often here and show us your present projects and past ones too! I Maybe byt his time the kits you giot from Bert are already finished right? Do show us your work- we will keep an eye on it!Black Eye [B)]

                        Yo! Lipton! I've always had adhesion problems with Dragon decals especially in tight curves. Does the hot water help? I normally put some of the Mr. Mark Softer on the decal, allow it to soak for about a minute or two then slowly dab/roll with a cotton swab. I'm not too happy with the results pa rin.

                        I'll try your technique and give feedback.

                        This is the Tamiya T-55A. I finished this already as a Russian T-55, but I really want to create an Iraqi T-55 Enigma, but that time I don't have the proper measurements and other data. Now that I have it, I stripped the paint and removed most parts to convert it to an Enigma.

                        I know I should have bought a new kit rather than literally "bash" a finished one, but as BigMan's favorite phrase goes; ...the kit is very "extensive" Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]
