THE OFFICIAL IN THE BUFF B52 GROUP BUILD

I sleep on the Draakon, Shermans and Panzers, B1's, Apollos, 1/32 Phantoms, and the Dakota, and a few

WWII battleships.

Dom

Hey,

Check out one of my How Why and wonder Books:

LOL.....the striped tank is full of petrol, gasoline, benzine, a rail-road tanker car full of napalm...

NO Smoking allowed while viewing the Trieste....

Dom

Dom,

Shoulda known youd at least have a picture of it! I bet if you look long enough, you probably have the kit!!

i wish someone made the Trieste in kit form, would love to get me hands on one!! Next time your in the stash room, holler out for Capt. Don Walsh or Jaque Piccard!! One of em might just holler back!!

MK

Well'

I spent a lot of time searching my stacks for the rogue J-57 left over from my BUFF

build, and I can't find the dang thing anywhere's.

I was hoping to get into some building over the holidays, and thayzzz already over!

I had to work last week so it was holidayus-interupptus.

Struggling just to keep the building surface of my desk from being piled up

with less important stuff!

I did get a !/72 Ventura for Krimas, always wanted a 1/32 version....

I did manage to find the bomb-casing for a Super-Gadget as I was diggin'

for the J-57.

Guys, have a

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Dom

Hey, All,

I've been trying to post a picture here but when I select the Use rich formatting option, the tool bar doesn't show up. Are any of you having the same problem?

Russ

Hey Russ,

No problem like that on my end.

It might be your ISP is having a glitch supporting the site functions,

or there's been an "upgrade" not supported by your system.

Can't tell from my end.

Try FSM for tech support if you haven't already,

Dom

Well, no I can't. It wants me to install a host of addons and I ain't gonna do it.

Sorry, Allen.

Ok, I'm fixed. I had to uninstall the Internet Explorer 11 upgrade. Figures

Good to hear Russ:

I never use the Explorer kit, so i never would have guessed it was an "upgrade."

Of course, I've argued micro soft is 'retro-grade' even on a good day!

Dom

Hey, All,

Buffjock asked me to post his latest project - so here it is.

Good job, Allen!

MK

Man;

I've been sick with a very bad flu, I came down with it on the 10th!

Friday(24th) was my last full day sick,

and I finally got some energy back on Saturday and Sunday. I'm not

quite back in the saddle but I'm working on it.

I'm so far behind, I don't know where to start.

-Dom

Hi, Dom,

I hear you, bud. I've had a cold twice in the last two months but thankfully, it wasn't the flu. Hope you get better real soon. Don't worry about catching up - just start in again when you feel like it.

Did you get your flu shot? If not, get it! There are some nasty strains around this year.

Take care and get well,

Russ

Hi All!

I haven't been sick yet this year, but I have been busy at work.  My department is surprised by winter every year.  This year it was worse than normal.  So, lots of stress and lots of fatigue.  It should settle down some soon and I'll get back to building.

Hey, Jim,

Good to know you're ok. Get some rest and before you get back in the saddle .

Russ

Hi, All,

I managed to snag a B-52 kit off eBay. The cost was $43 including shipping. I plan to do this one as an  C or D model being loaded with nukes. As to where I'm going to put it - it may be that a layout in the garage isn't so far fetched after all.....

Cheers,

Russ

Even here in Toronto, people like our hydro departments and road departments

got caught off guard with the ice and snow, and the cold has been busting

mains and destroying asphalt. We're still getting burps after the black-out.

I'm still a bit shaky from the influenza 'A', but I took the pup for a walk today, his first

since Jan 14. Or should I say my first.....

There's a J-57 in there somewhere....

I should check that resin shop to see if they've restocked their '50s & 60's

nukes. I have a few of the nukes for external mounting, but need some of those

big fire-crackers.

Here's the list i dig up when I need guidance:

Don't tell Kong, he prawley couldn't handle the excitement!!!

Oh yeah, i have kits in the garage too

This just in; i bought some resin nukes from this guy;

he seems to be out of stock of everything, but he has an email address.

Last I chatted he was looking for a new artist to cast the resin.

by the way; here's my last contact with Sanger, about 2 weeks ago:

Great link, Dom! Thanks! It looks like the big bombs we flew were the B-53. Two in the bomb bay and a Hound Dog on each wing. Scary.

Hello Dominic,

 

Thank you for your email regarding the 1/48th B52 kit.

 

I am sorry for the delay in replying, we have had so many orders that things were getting behind.

 

We are completing the wings which are the last 'masters' to finish.

 

Your name has been filed, so that as soon as the kit is ready, we will automatically email you advising you.

 

When we advise you, I will also ask after decals, if you require them.

 

 

With apologies,

 

Gerald.

-Dom

Sorry the link for the resin guy didn't come through,

if anyone one wants it I'll send it from my PM,

-Dom

Almost forgot, if that 1/48 BUFF comes through, I'll need to

build 1/48 'Dogs for it....

Here's a link to a computer animation of a BUFF and some ordnance.
