Official Ho229 Group Build

MAJ Mike

Carlos:  thanks for the tips.  I use a single-action AB and will fiddle with a double-action sometime in the near future.  I usually paint large areas at about 20 psi and camo stripes/patterns at about 10-15 psi.  I use MM enamels thinned 50/50 with Testor's Thinner (red can).

I'm not building a Ho, although watching your build has made we want to, I'm part of the ground-support Rabble.

Again, Awesome (an over-used term, but appropriate in this situation) result with your Ho.

I tried to use my double action and could not get it to work right,,,,,it kept spurting out vreating spiders....I guess the trick to working close to get a fine line is real thn paint....keep the tip from clogging..MM enamels are not that bad but their Acryl line....man, that stuff clogs up REAL nice..

again thanks for the kind words for my Ho.....

BTW like the new badge.....as subtle as your posts....

Heh!  Subtle as a giant fire-breathing lizard?

If anyone is interested.  Someone has a 1/48 Dragon Ho229 kit on eBay for only $18.09 so far, and 9 to ship.  Here's a link.

ATTENTION MOJO's:  The gadget has arrived at an undisclosed location in South Texas.  I can, with certitude, declare that the gadget is in top condition and will make its way to the Great White North via Government courrier on the first Saucer/Bell tomorrow.

"SEMPER MOJO!!"

Heh.  I knew the MOJOs would catch that.

Let's get that MOJO back in Vance's hands asap so he can award the badge and post pics of the signed HO...

I'm not a U.S. Congressman.  My ethics and morals are higher than that, although I do admit to being a Brigade Logistics Officer (S4) for a DIVARTY and a Mech-heavy maneuver brigade.   There's some things even an S4 won't do.

ATTENTION, MOJOs: The gadget is prepped for transport to Vance's underground snow bunker in the Great White North. 

"Semper MOJO!"

properly sealed with the cat-gut tamper proof security band i hope....

I'm not surprised Vance doesn't have a HO.

There's no room for a HO on the Seaview.

A deception plan is a vital part of any successful operation.

I will expect to see a 229, painted gloss yellow, descending vertically from Flying Sub's hanger in the classic launch shot, from one of you Photoshop maestros within the nexrt 48 hours... Well, a bit longer, given that you'll have to build a gear-up 229 and spray it gloss yellow...

You grounded yourself somehow.

SITREP: The gadget is enroute to the Great White North.  Vance has assured me that the secret underground snow bunker is prepared for its arrival.  A uniformed courier has taken possession and responsibility for the gadget for transfer.
