Thanks, sub!

Over a month and no updates?  Pfennig is furious!  Calm him, Fritzi- please!

Interesting touch for the edging on your dio, Chuck!

What's your recipe, when mixing Celluclay?  I find it necessary to add some white glue to it, and I also learned to make sure to spread it evenly, so it cures evenly, to avoid curling at the edges.

Sweet Chuk, great detail on the truck suspension.

Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom.  Peace be with you.

That "Gulp!" says it all: He'd better make Pfennig happy or he'll be getting the savage beating!Smile

Pfennig needs to chill out: Perhaps you can take him on a nice vacation to the Hawaiian island of Kauai or something.Smile

Thanks, guys!  Sorry to have been away so long.  In between rounds of long hours at work, family issues and life in general, I've been sneaking in time at the bench.  Take it away, Hannah!

Ah Chuck!  The work is looking quite nice on the Kubel there and the plane is great as usual!

On another note, My FLHS got in their order of the 2 new HK B-17 kits.  Mine was set back for me and the other walked right out the door as they came in.  As I am moving at the moment, I didn't go ahead and pick it up, but did take a look see and let others around have a view.

On looking thru the instruction book lo and behold there is a LARGE thank you note to all the test builders and of course your name was on the list too.

Can't wait to get this move done, (I hate packing!) so that I can go pick up my kit and thoroughly check it out!

Many thanks, guys!   HE, I expect my copy of the B-17 any day now!  

On one other note, I did forget to these pic- derp!  

Cheers!

Just throwing this out there Chuk, I'd love to see what you would with a 1/48 B-17. Especially, if, say you were to back date the monogram G to a late B-17F, I would follow the hell out of that thread! Hint, hint!!!!!!

Holy Moly, Chuk!

As usual, your art....in plastic, resin, or otherwise, puts us mere mortals to shame.  

You are one of the reasons I frequent these FSM pages - to see what incredible things you will create next.

One day....I hope to emulate your fine skills.

This is what it's all about...you are...totally....a FineScale Modeler.

My hat's off to you, brother.

Cheers, LeeTree

And....thank you for taking so much of your time to make all that you do so very entertaining and instructional for everyone.

You are one in a million, mate.

P.S.  Emma STILL loves her Iron Man picture.  That thing is awesome.  Thank you.

It's coming together beautifully, Chuk. Amazing attention to detail. I have no idea what

you will do for an encore, but I await it with baited breath!  Great work.

Cheers,

Ernie :)

Thanks, guys!  I've been poking along on the figures, and have a few corrections to make on the jeep, but it'll get done soon.  I have to write up a review of the HK big B-17 (wow, what a kit!), and then I'll be building the Icaerodesign IAR 81 C in 1/48.  Can't wait to start it!

Oh, yeah the good ol' Icaerodesign IAR 81 C.    

 OK, Ok, I too, had to look it up.

That looks like a good starter for your talented tweaks and additions.

But don't forget to put the oil in the engine of this one, be a shame to score a cylinder after all this work
