Ju 388- Planet Models 1/48 Resin

Guys, thanks a bunch!   Life has, with its ups and downs, been keeping me pretty busy as of late.   I've made some progress on the 388- the lower canopies are on and the main is cut out and ready for final fitting.  The escape hatch is also cut free- and will show off all those dang doo-dads in the 'pit.  Fitting that lower front canopy took a good half-day all by itself.  

The "free" time I've had lately has been spent on the model, not the updates, which take a good three hours each.  The next one will be full of fun, though, so stay tuned.  Again, my thanks!

Hey Chuck!

Hope you have had a great Memorial Day weekend!  Am looking forward to your next post my friend as it has been a while.  (I am guilty too but have rectified that problem )

Take care and keep up the wonderful work!

Wow Chuk, not much to say, so I won't...... .

BTW, after seeing a couple of your builds and the amazing work involved, I promise not to whine about the Mono B-36 again.

for now.

ChukW, I'm here with hopes of absorbing a little of the work of a great artist.  This is truly a one man Group build.  Salute!!    Rick

Glad to see you back on the workbench!

and those props and your fixture for them are awesome

Glad to see you back on the workbench!

I'd like to give - uhhh - props, to your props....

Chuk glad the peepers are back on line! Shame about the primer. The props look perfectly aligned(like you would let anything less than perfect pass) looking forward to the next update!Cheers Trey

I'm back, guys!  Thanks- being able to see without glasses in nothing short of miraculous.  

Here's what I've been up to- a little this-and-that...

Good to hear all is well.

Cheers,

Dave

Glad to see your surgery went okay! My late father was always nearsighted and could see next to nothing without his glasses and my brother's eyes are even worse.

... except for the ones who call me 'Hey stupid, bring us some catfood!'...

Yep, we've got three of those....

Thanks you, fellas!  My peepers are now 20/25- and expected to improve as I heal.   Words fail to express what I am experiencing!   I keep reaching for my glasses first thing in the morning- lol!   I've given them to charity.   :)

 

My wife is away for a few days, and that means I'm doggy daddy to Andi, but I still should get in some work on the 388- cheers!

The name's 'Daddydog'!  At least that's what the 'kids' call me.    Well, except for the ones who call me 'Hey stupid, bring us some catfood!'

Congrats on the successful eye work.  Having anything done to my eyes would make me so nervous I'd be sick to my stomach.  When I was younger, I could see _anything_ with the unaided eye.  Now I build kits under eyeglasses AND magnifying visors.  I could imagine how cool it would be to have 'young' eyes again.

Good news Chuck! Man, I've had glasses for so long that something "just feels wrong" if i go without something perched on my nose.

Great news Chuck!!! Continue to improve

The best to you on your surgery

Hope all goes well with the surgery Chuck!  Eyesight is so very important and as you make a living as an artist I know how important it is to you.

Will be looking forward to more of your updates and news of how well the surgery worked.

Luck be with you Chuck !

Good Luck with the operation Chuck. Look forward to seeing more updates...get well soon!

I keep considering the laser surgery option. (Yep, I was one of the kids with thick glasses in grade 3!)  But I've seen too much Star Wars/Star Trek over the years to trust my eyes to a laser!!! Good luck, Chuck! 

Hey, thanks, guys!   Well, tomorrow AM I'm finally getting my eyes fixed via lasik surgery- whoo-hoo!   I'm blind as a bat- I haven't seen clearly since I was just a little child.   Wish me luck!

I doubt if I'll be up to any modeling this weekend, so please be patient.  ;D

Nice work on the bomb sight! I really like how it looks.

GO! chukw, you can do it, you can, you can!

geesh da tings ya gotta do ta gets a update

I have found a pic with the help of some friends- and I just happened to pick up a copy of this nifty mag a week ago.  Now- make a master and cast copies of the modified blade or set up an assembly line?  We'll see....

Heaven's Eagle - I'm reading your post and say, Hey I have that book too! So I go get it, and what do you know it opens to this page! 

Too cool. Isn't it a great book? 

Sorry for crashing the thread, I just couldn't help mentioning how cool it is to hear about other people that have this same book.

My thanks, Paul- I think I can work from this!  Now, off to make eight of the little buggers... ;)
