~The Bear Trap GB~ December '09 to August '10

Sherman1111- The missles are looking fantastic, can't wait to see them loaded up on the carrier and ready to go.

** YES, the old smilies are working again. Sweet!***

Here is the latest update, working on the hull

I hope everyone surived the "upgrading" of the FSM site and forums. I might have been a casualty of the change because all mosts have this weird computer code added to all of them and their pretty mcuh unreadble. Hopefully it will get sorted out soon, if not the mods are gonna get an earful.

As for the GB vote, last I checked it's 2 votes for Badge#1 and 4 votes for Badge#2. Vothing will remain up for a bit, because the forum change has probably given some people(including me) a hard time.

Just Thick, thin  cyanoacrylate glue, everyting is resin, and the more i work withthe resin  the less I like plastic.

balta1- Looks like your off too a good start, plus it doesn't look like have had to do alot of part cleanup. I was checkin' out my T-72, and long story short I have my work cut out for me.

Great to finally see a vote for badge #1, for awhile there I thought I was the only one that liked it.

Sherman1111- Your 'Ganef' is coming along nicely! Those missles look great, just one question what kind of glue are you using?

 ** OFFICIAL FSM NOTICE **

If you haven't heard the news already, then here it is.....FSM and the forums are being revamped and the forums will be down Monday to Tuesday.

Here is the official notice from Meagan McChain, one of the moderators: "I have exciting news! If everything continues as smoothly as it's going now, our brand new FineScale.com will go live sometime during the day on Monday, Dec. 7th. Then, on Tues, Dec. 8th, the brand new forums will be launched.

However, because content on the forums needs to be transferred from the old to the new, the forums will be unavailable from Monday to Tuesday. The forums will be completely unaccessible at this time.

On the plus side, when the forums our unavailable, our brand new site will be! So, if you try to get to the forums and you can't, head over to FineScale.com and check out the new site, including our new Modeling Tips Database, FSM Insider page, brand-new How-To videos, and more.

When the new forums go live on Tuesday, I will post information on the new features and provide a link with even more information on how to use the new features."

Glad to hear you computer troubles have been solved.

By the way, do you have a vote for which GB badge?

That's zero votes for badge #1 and three votes for badge #2.  Though let's wait a bit and get some more votes in from other fellow 'Bear Trappers' before I make the final call.

I vote for #2

Both are reall nice, tough vote but I will say badge 2.  I am OK with whatever is decided.

Just finished these two badges......all comments and/or questions are welcome. This is the chance to voice your opinion and vote! Do you want to keep one badge over the other, both badges, or maybe none of these badges? (note: I included two sizes of each badge, LARGE size and badge size)

Badge #1:

Badge #2:

Komrad Sherman1111,

  What a great subject! Russian rocketry is always visually unique, and the Ganef is no exception. I too will be watching your build with interest. Good luck Komrad! Have fun.

Hi Mg. Can you add a Italeri 1/72 T-62 to my list? Thanks.

Sure, no problem.

Tommorrow the GB starts guys!! Hope you got your sprues ready and Soviet accent ready to go.

Badges......some of you guys probably wonder why I don't have any up yet. Well I do have a reason for that, college finals. However I may find some time later this week to make some since I found some amazing artwork done by a soviet-afghan soldier. So just be patient and I don't think they'll dissapoint.

Tuesday BABY! Wooooooooooo Hoooooooooo.  Cant wait

Bob

Happy Thanksgiving fellow Bear Trappers!! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, no matter where they may be celebrating it.

Oh, and by the way don't eat too much turkey or have too much too drink......this GB starts in less then five days!! Plus, you wouldn't want to end up like this Ruskie.

Great to have you aboard Got Hinomaru?!! No worries, start whenever you can.

-Roster updated.-

  Ok, as long as it is ok for me not to rely get started until January, I would like to join the other Trappers. I will build a 1/72 Hobby Craft MiG-25 in green, brown, and grey camo from the last year of the war.

   Sorry for poor photo quality.

Coldsteel6d- Special? What's so special about you....

M1Carbine- Here's hoping it will be "semi-glitch" free for you.

Cant wait.  I can already see the horrors of the marquette kit......................LOL

I really hope it is not as bad as the first one, it looks cool and hopefully will be semi glitch free.
