                        John; That sounds great. I didn't even order the figure until June 8, so that should pose no problem. Please add my name to the list and let me know if you need me to do anything else. Cheers.

                        Well I got the shields on and the gun together. First bit I've done in about three weeks. At this pace, I'll be done by Christmas. I can't wait to get some paint on and cover up all this Censored [censored].

                        Hi John.
                        As requested here is my contribution to the group build. I started on Juned 14, and was able to finish it off about a month later. For those of you who havn't visited the figures forum, this is S&T's 120 mm 101st Airborne trooper as he would have appeared on June 6th, 1944. Painted with Humbrol enamels and artist's oils. I photographed him outdoors, which would explain the deep shadows. The ground work was scratchbuilt out of plaster and driveway dirt.



                        I hope this will meet the group's approval. I would be happy to add the "badge" to my signature...if only someone would explain to me how to do that.

                        Heres a progress pic of my Tamiya P-51B. Have been out of action for a while due to an eye infection, but it's healed to where I can see well enough to do some modeling.



                        The NMF is Alclad2, the upper surface OD is ModelMaster enamel & the invasion stripes are Floquil Reefer White & Engine Black. Masking was done with Tamiya tape. It's ready for Future & decals, then final assembly & detailing. Barring any further setbacks, I might finish by the deadline, LOL.

                        Regards, Rick

                        So-- are we posting pics of completed models or waiting until the end date?? I have one of two done and wasn't sure-- some people mentioned waiting and it seems others have posted-- just wanted to know what the guideline on this was again?

                        In desperation I built a flak 38. Its done and just needs some paint. The WACO turned into a living hell.

                        Ghettochild: Your tank and typhoon look great.

                        ghamilti: That is one fabulously painted figure. Very life like in a still frame.

                        rjkplasticmod: the 'stang is coming along rather nicely.

                        Here's my completed SMER 1/48 piper LH-4 grasshopper






                        you will note:
                        1.) one of the stabilizer stuts went on a walk-about without me knowing about it
                        2.) I for got to remove one of the interior window masks before I firmly attached the canopy
                        3d modelling is an option a true mental excercise in frusrtation
