Hmm!  I've never seen them in the same room at the same time. Huh?

MY HO229 after some sanding.

 

 

 

Still lots of finishing to be done.  Thanks for looking.

Okay.  No Sharpie.  I'm not very precise with my application of filler.

Okay.  Proof that I'm working on the HO.

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i337/angusmike/HO%20229%20GB/HO22909.jpg

Wing root seams are a bit problematic.

Kit construction is not always pretty.

Will re-scribe selected seams and try using an ultra-sharp black Sharpie for some pre-shading.

Each build is a learning experience.  Thanks for looking. Bow Down

That's what I'm talking---and ditto on the sharpie---just say: "NO"...

MajMike,

Nice to see that RoG is consistent. I had the exact same issues with fit as you are having.

...

Careful with that Mike, I've heard of some folks having Sharpie ink separate when exposed to certain solvents, turning into a streaky purplish spot.

Yes, securely bunkered down in undersea lair

Undersea lair - the pressure must make airbrushing a little more difficult!

So....what part of you no longer functions within normal specifications?

Left hamstring, making the leg feel like it's running at about 1/2 power, kinda like I sat on an exacto knife & the blade is till in there..

NAVIGATE SOUTH!!!! Bang Head Right, I've gotta send that, you're done traveling now right.

I'm sanding the seams on my 1/72nd HO229.  Guess I'd better provide photos as proof. Smile

Considering the pulled hamstring last night (which is completely different than puled pork), I should be seeing an increase in bench time over the next week.

Manstein's revenge

 Manstein's revenge:

Regarding Vance's HO build...

"This is not the end, nor is it even the begining of the end---but it is the end of the begining..."

That quote is full of all sorts of, uhh, truthiness....

 

The Navigator: What? Over? Did you say it's "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! 

And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... 

 The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! 

 What the Censored happened to the MOJOs I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you , we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my a$$ from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. , Get me some toothpicks, hand me that Chap Stik... 
Maj. Mike: Navigator's right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta get this HO done. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part! 
The Navigator: We're just the guys to do it. 
Sprue-ce Goose: [stands up] Yeah, I agree. Let's go get 'em. 
Carsanab: Let's do it. 
The Navigator: [shouting] "Let's do it"! 

 

That's worth a cat-head.  Too bad it didn't motivate Vance like it should have...

 

Ya mean one of those Cats Heads with the Joker style makeup ??Big Smile
