                        Cant wait to see the p-38.

                        So, this build seems to have been more about complaints of school, nothing is wrong with that, But how is everybodys builds comming along.
                        I think tonight my sister is bringing the camera back so I will finally be able to get some good pics of my dio. Well, hope to get some reports!

                        Greetings all... Smile [:)]

                        I've been very busy for a lengthy time and haven't had time to finish my model for this group build or models lol. I wonder when my last update was. Anyhow, I’m close to finishing my P-38. I’ll have some pixs up soon of my progress.

                        Sorry to see you go 1337. Better luck next time

                        I'd say my skills are adequate. I most enjoy painting, and i least enjoy filling seams and sanding, and fillling, and sanding, and filling, and sanding, and filling, and sanding......Yuck [yuck]Yuck [yuck] anyhow i haven't touched photoetch or resin yet, and i have used aftermarket decals. i can see myself using resin from Cobra Company to convert an ah-6j into an mh-6j. Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

                        By the way, i own a Badger 350 single action, which is basically the same as a paschee H. it's worked great for me. for air source, i use a 5-gallon compressed air tank that i fill at the gas station. i hate propellant cans!!! SoapBox [soapbox]it will barely last one model. count in the practice shots and cleaning shots and that kind of stuff, it's practically useless.

                        So yeah, I am OK at painting, just figured out paint ratios and the like. Wiht washes, dry brushing and pastel weathering i am still experimenting, but on my cockpit in the f-4 i think my drybrushing turned out OK. My aztek isn't good eneough for free hand paint schemes thoug,(this is because i dont have a regulator for my compressor I think.) My phantom will actually be my first attempt at three tone camo. I don't use aftermarket or PE yet, but I hope to soon. The first aftermarket I will use is decals methinks. Next would be resing cockpits, but only after my painting skills improve a little. I have no materials to scratchbuild with, though I am really not lacking the tools, I have no sheet styrene etc. My first diorama will not be in the far future. In conclusion, the work I've seen here far outstrips mine. But I'm working on it.Wink [;)] I don't think a can of propellant will last very long BTW.

                        i have built model since i was 12, i started in aircraft and cars then i started armour last year. i am amazed at how good i am at armour, good by my own standards at least.

                        i have an airbrush that i got at a tool liquidation for $8.99 can. it looks identical to a badger 250. but i dont' have a compressor so i haven't used it yet.

                        my friend works at tim hortons and there is one across from my school, i'll have to ask him if they have them. maybe i will go and get the chicken stew in a bread bowl.....mmmmmmmmm, and then i'll eat the bowl!! lol

                        Well lets see, the last model i built (finished last night) had some very crappy decals so that doestn countWink [;)] Decals is one my areas I concentrate most on. I alwasy worry about getting them on crooked and getting out the bubbles. But the hard work does pay off. I havent tried any AM or PE yet but it will be in the near future. At painting I am pretty good. I have finally learned about paint ratios and what not. However I am still expieriencing with Washes and drybrushing. i have only done scratchbuilding once, well a major one at least. I'd have to say that with my limited amount of tools, I am ok.

                        But the one thing I am getting really good at is dioramas. The last one I built was I think, awsome. It took one of those empty harted victories though an the last show. I get pics as soon as my sister brings back the digital camera!!!!!Angry [:(!]

                        BTW, anybody know what happend to Dubix????? hasnt been around in a while.

                        Hmm I dont quite know what scale. how about 1/72?LOL. maybe a word description, ranging from decals on very gluey and bare plastic, to extremely skilled user of aftermarket parts and scratchbuilder.Wink [;)]

                        i own an airbrush, its an Aztec (Yuck [yuck]), but im hoping to get a new one sometime in the near future. maybe i can sell the old AB to somebody just startin'. or would that be considered sabotage??Black Eye [B)]Wink [;)]Wink [;)]

                        i was hunting deer rebelreenactor, and i got one Big Smile [:D] my first dear, mule deer buck, 3 points on each side so it is a canadian 3 pointer, or american 6 pointer, 100lbs after being skinned, and it is the biggest deer we have ever gotten.i got it after just 2 hours of hunting! first shot hit in the head too.

                        yesterday i was listening to the radio and the lady on htere said that d-day happend and june 6 1994! she didn't even know she made a mistake.

                        i have never watched a remmeberance day service or a vetern's day service so i don't know which is better, but i think rememberance day sounds more respective than vetern's day.

                        have any of you other canadians seen one of those poppy toonnies(or were they quarters?) yet? i haven't but i have seen the commercials

                        I think we here in the States respect veteran's day far too little. All we have to show for it is all day showings of saving private ryan. Seriously. I think that's pretty sad.

                        In Canada, people wear a poppy (my sig) on remembrance day, to remember the fallen soldiers. Is there something like that in the states?

                        well unfortunatly its true. But not in my town. Two best friends who were killed in Iraq are having their funerals today. Lots of people remembering.
                        My cousin is from the south, and let me say that things down there are very different from California. My guess is they have a lot of respect for vets.

                        I hate to say it, but after watching that national ceremony in Ottawa this morning, i think canadians have a better respect for their soldiers and fallen. what news media in the US would cover such an event as closely as the Canadians have?? none. they'll have something on ours for like 15 seconds later tonight, and that'll be it. everyone just knows that its a day off, and that its called verterans day. beyond that, they're clueless. a somber and respectful event like that just wouldn't 'sell' here in hte US, eccept for 9/11, and the only reason they show that is cuz it was only a couple years ago, and its lead to the situation we are in right now. and in general, the people are just
                        more in tune to what happened, and that it calls for respect and gratitude.

                        my regards to you northerners around here. you treat this day better than we do
