                        Ok! So have you cancelled your intake scoop orders from Natalie?

                        Btw, I still owe you the weapons config of the F-15E! Blush [:I] I'll email them to you this week.

I do almost any model (haven't done ships yet, but I have one in que, had a car model but still on the "do it later" list). Haven't tried Zoids though. If you happen to visit my site, I have my collection of Gundam kits during my early modeling days. They suck alright but still, I know how I progress. See yah!

                        Welcome to the forums, Herschel! There are a number of sci-fi builders here, so you're in good company. You may also want to check out the other forums in FSM, because you get a lot of useful advice (don't be shy, every one here is really nice!)... If you have time, check out Swanny's website (www.swannymodels.com if i remember correctly) because he has all sorts of ideas for weathering and detailing!

                        Hmmm.... Location, Rune Midgard... Occupation, Agi knight. Do you play Oz World? Hehehe! Tongue [:P] Yep, I'm addicted to Ragnarok too... What server do you play on and did you go to the RWC? While we're at it, how many of you guys play RO?

                        Wow! That's one hot momma you got there!

                        Question:

                        Did you mix that metallic yellow-green color or is that automotive paint you used there?

                        Did that tailpipe come chromed with the kit or you chromed it yourself?

                        Like you said the seams really are a pain but the panel lines and weathering on that harrier as well as your gundam are well done. Thumbs Up [tup]
