Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

At least that's what the voices tell me.

You hear them too? Wheew I am glad I am not the only one.

Not crazy about the fit...

Two applications of clear parts cement, the second a BIG one because the first one, after being held until my fingers cramped, fell off immediately...

The windscreen will be worse, and I'll have to grind away the erzats gunsight completely if there's to be any chance of a fit...

urgh...reminds me of my Ho...now this looks like the R.G. kit....I had the same problems with my Dragon HO..the front windscreen's fit was terrible....I added a thin strand of stretched sprue along the front to fill in the gap and then sanded it down a bit....the main canopy's fit s was not good either so I placed it as open....a couple of spots of CA was all it needed...I didnt even try to install the gunsight...it was a lost cause from the start....now you mentioned tropical scheme...wouldnt mind seeing another.....looking great so far!!! more pics!!! Yes

Latest news report mention Chicago mayor wants US Postal Service to carry guns and USPS wants to get into counter-terrorism duties......

...I believe the USPS is doing a forensic test on it for Chicken Blood.........

It just occured to me that I have never posted pictures of my HO in this forum. While I am not a member of the GB, I finished my HO a few months before Manny asked to start it, but I lurk enough. So here you go you mojos!

Oh, and you can also reclaim your "229 Cross" and keep the Time cover if you like as a special badge for being a good sport about it...

I have become quite fond of the Time cover. You look particularly regal on it.

A little sucking up is okay, but don't over-do it. Wink

C'mon now...I learned my lesson from when I got the Time cover in the first place. In case you forgot...

I think I made a comment like..."A little sucking up is okay, but don't over-do it" Cool
