Yea, next year I have to do my senior recital, im a music major, its basicly a one man show as well, and quite like you also, I have no idea as to whats coming after graduation!

I began as a drawing concentration, and still am, but lately I've switched to (surprise surprise) sculpture.  I'm trying to draw together many of my interests into one conhesive unit, interests that include aviation.  I've been building a few wall-mounted pieces that are inspired by the tail units of aircraft.  I've done three different ones, each with a different technique, but I'd like to do more.

Wow, thanks, fellas- the heat is on now!    Nice builds there, Philo and Guy- it's a sweet little kit, ain't it?  I've begun riveting, and it's really fun, if not a bit time-consuming.  Is it just me, or did Dymo tape used to be a lot thicker? 

If I put my wife in this strip I'd building in the gutter- so my little Fritzi is entirely ficticious.  ;)  

What kind of art are you studying, Lucien- other than the art of scratchbuilding, that is.  My grandfather told me when I was just a kid that I'd "Starve to death!" as an artist... :D

Thanks again to all- and stay tuned!

I wouldn't be suprised.  I wonder if the one on the right is a self-portait....    

(Seriously, though, I love the cartoons.  I'm studying Art in college right now, which may or may not mean anything, so it's cool to see two of my own interests combined in a way that's both entertaining and informative, in a very competent manner.)

Great, hes doing another... wonderful... if the first one didnt want to make me quit modeling...

hehe, I cant wait to see it chuck, seriously.

By the way, I like the new cartoons, model the chick after your wife? 

Looking forward to following this one as well, always looking to pick up tips from a master....

Yo, Chukie-boy...

Let the madness begin.......

I was wondering when you were gonna start this Chuck.  I'm stocking up on popcorn for this one.  WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!

Hey, that's cool.  I can take the credit if you want to give it to m-

Oh, hey chukw!  What're you doing here?  What do you mean, what am I doing here?  I'm just.... holdin' down the fort for ya.... until you get back!  Yeah, that's it!

Lucien,

That is a nice looking kit! And what you did with the pics and text is really cool

Lookin forward to following the progress on this project!

Ah ha.... round 2, is it?  I can only echo what's already being said- I can't wait.  Heck, this time I might even start watching from the begninnig, instead of coming in late like a certain Helldiver build.

Heck, I won't even care that you got it in the wrong scale, either!

Ill try again, i dont know what Photobucket was up to then? Heres mine, 

...Guy

Woo hoo, I am gonna grab the popcorn and sit by attentively!

Here we go again! This will be our own special brand of March Madness and we'll keep it going long after the nets are cut down in Detroit!

Hoooo eeeeee Chucky. This is a great subject to build. I loved mine, it went together like a dream. Like you say the glass can be a bit dodgy, but nothing i found too serious. The gunsights for the barbettes are kitted upside down. The destructions got em wrong. That is the only tricky bit, getting the glass over the sights.

Heres a couple of mine, complete with dodgy paint job.

I just used the Eduard PE set and the kit did the rest.

Very cool Chuck! I love those big WWII twins - the 410, P-38, DH Mosquito, Beaufighter, B-25, etc - but they sure make for a monster build. Not that you'll let that bother you, LOL. Can't wait to learn gobs more from you as this birdie progresses.

So does Herr Reichspfennig Eagle have a name yet?
