QUOTE: Originally posted by shrikes Hmmm... So, my B-17G will have some company soon! Finally, someone else building a bomber! You know what they say... "Fighter pilots make movies, but bomber pilots make history!" Oh, and I was contemplating on buying that same kit, but then i realized that my finances are stretched rather thin as they are! Soon, I'll have a model of all B-17s, hopefully including the YB-17, the YB-40 and a B-17 Firebomber! (insert maniacle laughter here).

Now you gave me an idea what to give my pamangkins on their birthdays. When I'm able to buy my airbrush, would you be kind to show me how to use them clay technique? Thanks Lipton. And thanks din for the Tamiya Buff color paint. I owe you one. Sure, it's quite elementary really to use clay as masks for makin' those nice soft edges. Using Play Doh would be better though.... less oil. QUOTE: Shrikes That's a mean looking B-17. Post em soon. I love the eye-level photo of it, ang angas ng dating. I'm planning to build a B-25 Mitchel, y'know where I can find a kit? Yeah Shrikes, I really was impressed by your B-17.... and due to that I was encouraged to get me a B-17B from Hobbitoi just this lunch. It's really nice work,man. I wish I could do the same for my kids' Zoids... Jun

I'm new here. What do you mean be honest with myself and my fellow modelers? Well Reggie, if you are new here ( but the number of posts you have made and your affinity to IPMS-Manila kinda negates a newbie tag for you, I believe), jepot, why is it that being a newbie or not is based on his/number of posts? I meant newbie kasi di kita kilala. don't be fooled by the number of posts that i have. mostly sa painting and airbrushing yan. I see, I see; clarify your point, which you already did; good! but i might even be a more newbie than you are here, but definitely NOT in the hobby. have a nice day...

jepot,

I see you you're NOT new in the hobby. I'm intrigued. you must have nice looking models . do you have a link? i really like seeing fellow modelers works kasi. thanks!

Well Reggie, if you are new here ( but the number of posts you have made and your affinity to IPMS-Manila kinda negates a newbie tag for you, I believe), take it from the words itself- HONEST to knowing what is best for all modellers like you, me and the rest, which not only improves ones knowledge, skill, affinity, and personality. I need not overemphasize nor expound further, lest i be accused of flaming; Noel, yes you may not personally know me, but we had traded a lot of emails offcially and unoffcially; as a matter of fact i was one of the first to remind you not to downplay Berts death, remember? Oh well, just reminding, you im back; hope you wouldnt mind a fellow Filipino modeller joining your chat again eh pal? Its better to see more topics now that can help a lot more interested Filipino ( and other) scale modellers like tips, simple advice, reviews, etc., this is a breather compared to earlier threads that were so focused on extolling the virtues ( or whatever) of a particular group of stores and its owner, or using this fora as a recruiting tool; sharing ones knowledge online, for all to see and share in is one of the best ways we can do to help each other grow in the hobby, i believe.... Hey man... cool lang... The kid was just saying he's new in the hobby. Lighten up, man... We're all in this hobby because it's fun. Nothing more (at least I hope all seeing this have the same agenda). Speaking for myself, I'm enjoying my hobby and the company at this forum. They seem like very nice people... that's why I frequent this forum and in particular this thread. Jun

Fellow FIlipino modellers- just enjoy the hobby, and be honest with yourselves and your fellow Filipino modellers smvillalon- remember me?do hope so... noel_carpio - you also remember me? do hope so too....

Haven't started it yet though i've already washed it in dishwashing liquidtoremove the oil. I'll probably weather it a little. Depends on the mood.
