On the bench:
Please pass on to the young man, a job well done, and my congratulations.
Outta da park Chris, truely the spirit of Toshi. Well done my friend.
we're modelers it's what we do
WOW Mongoose- you guys did a superb job on the Spinosaurus! Great work and always good to see a youngster interested in building a cool model!

TheMongoose Hey Dodgy here's our finished model by Chris and Clayton, Pegasus' 1/24 Spinosaurus Done in memory of Toshi and how he enjoyed teaching and working with Ezra. It was 17 parts all together. Perfect for a 6 year old. It needed some adult help in that there was a bunch of flash in the hole for the head that needed cleared away before it would fit. The rest was almost a snap fit for him, the poeces are clocked so they can only go together one way. can you believe he stayed focussed the whole time. Had a great morning and he was so proud to tell his dad he "painted it all myself"! I believe we may have a new modeler in our midst

Keyserj There sure is a lot of great work going in this thread. I especially like the look of that Corsair in camo crown r7. Been bogged down trying to get past painting but the stripes are now on and I can totally see why Lewbud loved tiger meet schemes.

In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!
Good on you. Good way to get another generation interested. Hopfully he'll stay interested and add more catagories of builds in the future.
You should have Dodgy add him to the roster, and the pic of the finished product. Would make him proud as a peacock.
This build is for Toshi & Ezra. Toshi loved teaching Ezra to build models. I remember him letting the little guy just paint it however he wanted. I think i even remember a NMF B24 or B25 that Ezra painted with a brush! Ezra was learning to use the airbrush if I remember correctly. So all this got me thinking I should see if my nephew would like to build a model.Asked him back in November when visiting my mom and he said sure. He wanted to uild a dinosaur, a Spinosaurus is what he wanted. Made popular by the latest Jurssic Park movie. I said I'd see if I could find one. He said, "it has to be a meat eater, NO plant eaters" he emphasized!
Had a look around and the only plastic one i found was fairly expensive. When i visited again in December he brought it up and asked if I had found anything. That sealed it, off i went to order the Spinosaurus.
Which gets us to tonight. I brought the model up to his place and we got started on it. He was excited and worked on the whole thing. When we sat down and he opened the box he said “now it’s time to be a big boy”! This thing must weigh 3 or 4 pounds. The body is solid, not hollow. We needed a little painters tape to keep the tail in place lol letting it dry tonight and then tomorrow we're going to paint it. I brought a bunch of Vallejo model color and a couple brushes for him to use

Gamera. Thanks bud. I'm pretty much done with this camo and ready for clear gloss.
excuse my B-17..
Thanks Nick, love how the camo is coming on your Corsair!
Thanks Brandon! Looking forward to seeing you get revved up!
These decals were funny, they're a name brand but they had more glue on them than I've ever seen- it was coming off in lumps when I wet them. Still on drying it turned invisible so no complaints!
Gamera Tony: Coming along nicely! I got the Corsair post-shaded (I think it's called) over the weekend and started decaling. Not sure how well anything shows up in the harsh artifical lighting though.

I'mjust lovin' that 'Stang Stang ! Keep it going.
I've done a bit more on my Me 263. If I can just tidy ip around the nose a bit more, it'll be ready for a wash and canopy masking.
My Komet Kollection is edging towards completion.
Cheers

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
She looks great Mustang!
I can do the badge, send me what you have or post it here, Dodgy.
To see build logs for my models: http://goldeneramodel.com/mymodels/mymodels.html
goldhammer88 Dodgy, if possible, can you change my entry to the Hasegawa 1/48 RF4-E, in German markings. Lot better kit for my skill set. Thanks

No problem GH. Doing it right now.
I long to live in a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned
Every time I've ever needed any help with a GB badge good ol' jgeratic(Jack) was able to help me out. I think I put one together once but it wasn't anywhere near what he could do. Unless somebody else out there is good with this kind of stuff that's who we could ask and he's always been more than willing to help out.
Made a little more progress. I got some paint on the body yesterday.
Still got a little more working in and a small amount of clean up left to do but the hood scoop is now on the hood.

Mustang: Love that hood scoop! Nice improvement!
Nick: Cool! I good a little work on Toshi's Corsair here over the weekend too. I went with painting the fighter dark blue and post-shaded the center of each panel with a lighter blue. Not sure if this will work better than what you're doing though.
As a vet, like many others here, the guy helping vets get their due, almost getting killed, back working with vets again and trying to get on his feet and walk again, I don't have an issue. The man deserves anything nice coming his way, for once.
Nice work on the hood/scoop. As much attention to detail as the rest of the build.
You're making great time on the Corsair, almost down to the end of it.
Thanks Dodgy, if I get off my duff and get set up to post pix I may include it. I do agree it is oustide the reason of the GB so. If it really is that important to me I really should start a WIP. It's all good mate, I'm still a happy camper.
So much awesome work here mates. I have got my posting issues sorted so I have been able to post your pic crown.
Armornut, I personally have no problem with your request regarding the F14 build for the bloke who helped you out. It is a bit outside of the GB concept, but if nobody else has any strong objections, I am happy to go with it.
Incidentaly fellas, I need some help with the badge for this build. I have no idea how to do this. A suggestion was put forward showing a couple of glasses touching, as in a toast, and the saying "to absent friends". If folks are okay with this we will run with it, but I nned someone to create it, as I have no idea how to.
moving along on this OOB corsair nothing fancy. I sprayed preshading flat black and some mottleing with flat white and nato black with in the pannels.
