THE OFFICIAL IN THE BUFF B52 GROUP BUILD

I have an old Aurora SkipJack, I had one when I was 8, and got one of those big

ones for about $70 online. I think it was Squadron that put it on sale.

I have that 1/700 Arizona, also a build from the 60's, and a 1/350 in the stack, annnd, a few years back someone whom knows I like it got me that big Trumpy. I'll probably have to get rid of them eons before I build them though.

Bragging aside, you

are fully indoctrinated, errrrrr.....inducted.......

Heck, i even have an AMT 1/25 Chev, and an AMT NCC 1701 Enterprise - the 'duck'

Now Jim;

Don't take this honor lightly, as it has massive gravitas, and is of great importance:

This magnificent honor bequeathed upon you, and $2.50,

will buy you a small cup of coffee.

I especially love the box art on the old 1/700 Arizona's.

Dom

I have  70 Superbird in my pile and several boxes of all sors of Star Trek stuff.  What can I say, I am a geek!

Here is something of an update.  First, the Alert Pad

Then a couple of pictures of the Academy 1/300th BUFF.

I'll be getting to work on the DML 1/200th BUFFs I have very soon. 

Jim

Hey Jim, Nice Work!

I see you blacked out those windows on the diorama Buff!

The Academy 1/300 is looking very Vietnam era.

Makes me wish I was a kid again, I'd take that around the block a few times

bombing dandelions!

Do you want me to put some pics up on the Wall of Fame?

Lemme know which ones.

Dom

Hey guys!!

I apologize for being such an absent host!

I'm halfway through a new set of qualification exams,

so with any luck, I'll be back by Christmas.

I really appreciate the work as it comes in, and

I'm trying to hang on to my own BUFF project.

Listen, all the best, I'm still monitoring, if

not participating daily.

Dom

No problem, Dom.  We all have something taking away from our hobby time.  Post any picture you like on the Wall of Fame.

That's not the story I heard. I heard you were living it up down in the Bahamas with Jose Quervo 

Good luck with your exams, bud!

Nice job, Jim!  I'd go crazy trying to build/paint something that small!

Russ

Too late!  I am already crazy!

These scales are a challenge, but they don't take very long to do.  A nice "just get it done" project.  I am working my way up to 1/72. My next stop is DML 1/200.  I'll start with the D Model.

Hello everyone,

I am a new guy here.  I am getting back into modeling after an on and off thing over the past many years.  My first project is a B-52H, an old Revell kit, #4584 unfortunately I seem to misplaced the instructions.  Due to the age of the kit the instructions are no longer available from Revell.  If anyone has the directions and could email a pdf file of them I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

John

John,

I have a copy here, but its made of paper...

I don't have the kit, but welcome to the build!

There might be someone here in the forums who

can help you out, maybe post a request under Aircraft, Community Assistance, and/or General Modelling Discussion.

Let me know if you want me to put you down for the 'H'

Dom

Russ,

I was working on some "inventory" on my AMARC build and a thought occured to me, ( I know, I was just as surprised...) Anyone in this GB who is doing the 1/72  Revell Monogram B-52 that isnt using the"optional" exposed engine, Id sure like to have a few extras! I only have 11 and could use a few more.  Anybody??

Majer Kong

Hey Kong,

I can donate the spare parts,

but obviously you need help for a

serious problem.......I hate to enable

a person so far down the path.....lol.....

Errrr...what are you going to do with all those

engine bits?

PM your coordinates and I'll start the process of getting them out to you.

I also have landing gear if''n yoooz inerested.....

Dom

Hi, Allen,

Sorry bud, I only had one model and I used the engine. But it looks like Dom has you covered . Looking forward to see that monster completed!

Cheers,

Russ

Russ, The end result is I may have some  home made parts for ya. Im working on making a fan face for the J-57 engine without the nacelle. ( Shh, I will send you a pic later on, may have you beta test the final product...) Currently working on NB-52A 52-0003 as a ramp mate to 52-0008.

Anyone  that has the extra J-57 engine and isnt going to use it, Id sure like to have a few extras!! Look at some AMARC photos and you will see what Im talking about.. (May even try to cast a few myself and see how that goes....)

Dom,  Do you happen to have any more of those "special" wepons?? You sent me one a while back and Id like to load the CIA B-52 with at least 6 of em.

Anyhoo, Thanks to Dom and  anyone else who helps me realize my goal, and yes Dom, I know I need help, Thanks for the concern, but its already too late for me!!!

Majer Kong

Hey Kong:

Yeah, too far gone my friend, you make us feel normal.

One J-57 incoming....

Dom

Don't you mess with THE KONG!

this could happen to you......

errr, checking for the gadgets, I'll let you know,,,,,,,,,

Dom, i think that little cowboy dude looks a liitle like Major Kong!!

yeah,

he was smiin' that day, all happy an' like.....new hat....

Looking for the super gadget.....

Looking for the J-57.....

Looking for my mind.......

I hate losing that stuff.........

I just figured out what my styrene bone-yard is called:

BMARC - Boxcar's Maintenance And Regeneration Center

Almost as big as this one:

search?q=amarc+b 52&client=firefox a&hs=jey&rls=org.mozilla:en US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=LGWqUq3VA8Pt2QWp8oHIBw&ved=0CDEQsAQ&biw=2398&bih=1300&dpr=1

-Dom

Lol! I'd like to see that! Show us some pictures

Russ

Well;

The satellite is taking pictures Russ, so as soon as they get uploaded to the

Cyberspaceage, they will be available.

This is an onerous task. I found out I may have 500 kits.

So, this is a photo review of about half my BMARC yard:

So, that is a SAT scan of about half the BMARC yard. Those brown cardboard boxes are full of inventoried kits. That scan doesn't include armor, or legacy kits, or local dump sites.

It also doesn't include about another 200 or so kits stacked in the same space.

I, much like the US inventory officials, cannot locate the cherished J-57 from the

1/72 BUFF D kit.

Errrr, embarrassing, except I have Kathlene Propylene Sabaylyouooose looking after their

very wary where-abouts, so you know you will get to the truth....LOL

Dom

Dom

Dom,

Did I see a 1/72 B-36 in that pile?? Dang shame that thing aint here, I beena wantin one of them ever since they retired em!!

Got a coupla 'dogs and a complete gearset for the 105. Check the other radio Dom!!

Dont sweat the J-57, in about 20 years I will be lookin fer TF-33s!!

Majer Kong

Dom, the other radio is the SSB- Secure Side Band aka your PMs...

Majer Kong

And a B-57?? dang Dom yer killin me here.. i bet theres a XY-B3549 in there somewhers too.... Love the Dive bomber B-52 didnt know they did that too!!

Majer Kong

Yeah Kong:

The XY-B3549 had 'NEW KEW LURE" engines, and was especially equipped

to puff special breakfast cereal to kids so they wouldn't end up as socialists....lol

My philosophy was different......

I wanted to see the after glow........

Dom

Lol, Dom, which boxes do you sleep on??!
