Thanks Andy and Buddy!

More pics coming soon!

Cheers,

Azgaron

Kim, the best moments in my life have been; birth of my son, my wife, Army Basic Training (the whole Army thing too) and of course hanging with you guys

Have you a ton of photos of her already?  Can't even begin to count the number we have

Well here's the latest pics!

Now I'm off to bed!

Cheers,

Azgaron

Great looking progress Azgaron.  That sure is a tiny cockpit in that 117  

Good to hear also that some of you others are still engaged in your builds.  At some point we need to wrap up this build, I figure I'll give it another week probably before I call it done.  That way those of you that missed the first deadline will have some motivation to still finish.  Right Dupes!!!   However, we still would to see pics of the the finished products even if you do miss the final deadline so keep at it! 

WOOHOO!!!

Corsair pics...

Looking good!  The teeny tiny -117 is looking quite nice too.

WARNING: DRUNK ENGLISHMAN BUILDING MODELS!!!!!!!

Hello chaps! I shay thesis looks like a smashimng place to visit-Good show Dave!!

I am here by invite of his Daveness tip partake in the weelend build thingy-I started my work at 23.00hrs, and I did as much as I could before I fell off my chair......

Here is my kit.....the now ancient Airfix 1/72 F-4 Phantom.

Here's what I got done tonight:

This is not a "shake and bake" kit, its pure 80's Airfix and I love it! I built this kit as a ten yr old boy and have always wanted to go back to it, this GB gave me the chance so I hope you will enjoy it with me.

It pretty late this side of the pond, I have got the fuselage built and the office painted, plus the fuel tanks and bombs have been assembled. I have also painted the missles and landing gear! I haven't built this quickly in years!! Lets see if I can keep to the deadline......

Right, I'm off for a nightcap!

CHEERS!

Holy cow he is up late! Well there goes the neighborhood! 

 Way to go CAG! BABY! Geter done!!!!!!!

I lost a P-40 and a P-47? Anyone seen them?

The Stealth Fighter.... too cool and the Corsair? Frank he is proving it can be done!

Sean needs to do the 1/32 Trumpeter one for next time!

lewbud? I think you should have 3 weekends to get all that finished. I'll be looking!

Smeagle I have no idea how long it takes to do a Gundam right but am thrilled to see a work in progress!

Dupes? Er I mean Fupes!  Nice work! Perhaps we should rename your build the Battle of the Bulge? I hate those alluring distractions from bench time don't you?

Guy is building another 109....... I think he is surpassing the production numbers!

Bondo! Leave that lady alone! Golly!

moose! I am in love with your BMP spent a lot of time calling them the Target in a real kinda way!

   It would take me more then 48 hrs to open up another Trump kit again, if ever...

Azgaron - Wow two at once.... thats going to take Aarons title of Show~off... Actually I could see where this would be a plus, something to work on while the other is drying...Now why did'nt I think to do that....

Darren - Airfix Yeah ! belive it or not this is my favorite brand of models. I would rather build an English kit any day over a China brand...  Your off to a Fantastic Start...

Moose - How you coming along on those road~wheels and tracks ? Last pictures were looking Top Notch

Go CAG Go! Using white putty on white plastic, gotta be tough on the eyes.

Aaron-Did you look behind the couch?

Azgaron-Keep it up.  Two can't be that tough, Aaron did it after all.

To Kim and the others, keep it up.  Look forward to seeing more pics.

Oh boy... lock up your women-folk, the CAG's here! 

Good show old bean, love those Airfix kits too!

I hope you weren't drunk the first time you built it (10 years old!).  Looking forward to enjoying this build along with you.

Well here is my BMP were it stands of right now.  I just sprayed a dull coat to seal and get rid of the shinny.  I got the tracks together with only one fit of swearing.  Well off to watch the TV for a while.  I have to work 16hrs tommrow and I don't go in till 5:30pm.  I should have the decals on it and maybe a wash if I have time.

Enough talking here it is.

Darren, off to a good start, look forward to what happens tomorrow.

Kim, awesome paint job.   I can't beleive you managed to get those tracks together so quickly. 

Smeagol, take Bondo's advice. take care of that finger.  This is just a hobby and it can wait.  Do keep us posted on your progress when you can though.

Wow, i check my inbox and its full of Weekend madness LOL. You guys are insatiable. LOL. Dont look in for a day and your 500 posts behind. Who was it who posted the picture of my mum? Ill get him, you lot dare think anything mucky.

Tango, your the man. Any Drunk Englishman, building models fast, is ok in my eye. And if you got that far Pi@@ed, then, Geez Louise. You ARE the man!!!

Kim, that BMP is awesome. It would take me a week to get to that stage, and Indy tracks? Awesome.

...Guy

She's a magnificent looking BMP, Kim! Looks like you are in the home stretch there!

Definately take care of the finger, Smeagol! Ya might need it the next time someone angers ya

Kim, outstanding work on the BMP-well done!!

Smeagol, ouch! Take care of that finger,hope you recover quickly.

Hello again chaps,

here is this mornings WIP from TSWSIE..........

Got the sanding done on the fuselage and dropped the flaps, installed the landing gear and shot some paint on................

The canopy has been futured and I am about to sand/paint the fuel pods and bombs after lunch.

See you later!

Kim- Well done!  Cannot believe you are able to move so fast on that BMP, inspirational work! 

Smeagol- Do take care of your finger, hope it heals quickly for you!

Darren- Looking good there!  You are well on your way to another gorgeous Phantom.

 Darren! You took time to cut out and drop flaps? Wowzzers! The paint looks very smooth and accurate!  Very spiffy! I am using my megar decaling creation skills to make the wife some custom Christmas ornaments for her soriety Christmas Party. Love them college chicks! A fine example of how modeling skills can be used to impress the girls!

 Speaking of College... Smeagle I sincerly hope your finger gets well quickly and it does not interfere with your finals. A French Horn player usually needs all his fingers. If worse comes to worse I have a Deer Call that needs no dexterity. You are welcome to use that. Sounds like Bondo and Nam after a weekend of excess.

Gunner ! Sabo! PC! Battlesight ! Fire! Flash back Moose. Did you have to make it look so real?

The Swedish connection is looking good with the F4U and Stealth. Sean if you still don't see the photos I can repost them in a PM if need be.

Roy is looking for a bigger fish! Nam and lewbud are MIA. Frank organize a search party! I volunteer to check the kitchen! If the beer is still there then we need to worry!

Darren, the Phantom is taking shape.

I have next to no time to do any thing this weekend on the P-40.  I attached some of the glass and added brake lines to the LG.  Perhaps I can get some work done on it today.

Frank The CAG's F-4 is far too manly to be described as gorgeous! This is  a manly mans realm! Only the tough survive! The air wreeks of the sweat from the spectacularly ferocity of the efforts and steel nerves of those who dare to participate in this GB! Now a handsom Phantom or a Phantam that exudes a raw toughness! Perhaps, whats next? Roy you have such a pretty P-40? Speaking of which Roy the wife wants her clothes pins back! 

Just joking fellows! but you did give me an idea!?! Perhaps I can coax Nam back with a Gorgeous Phantom! She likes him! Heck if he doesn't respond to this then call the National Guard and paramedics!!!

NAAMMMMM you scurvy dog!

Aaron, notice the black paint on my mat?

If Nam doesn't want her give her my address

Lunch I have not even finished my morning cup of coffee.... Darren Terrific ! even though it is minus a prop..

Roy - Glad to see you back , I was worried you might be tangled up in a fence with tumbleweeds in Nebraska... my P-40b looks like a twin to yours...  Cant wait to see it painted. (no spots this time )

Aaron thanks for the offer but no problems viewing today..

By Thunder, I can smell the manly smell of macho model-building here! Reminds me of a certain ships company........

Right you scurvy dogs! The Tail on this old smoker has been finished and I thought I would add a totally from scratch base to put it on.......(C'mon......I had to!)

Not bad for 3hrs work!

And I'm not done yet!! More in Part IV!
