I totally agree with you. The days seem like forever! The weeks before summer are easier becuase there is little hard work. i should probably be doing HW right now.

and I also agree with you on Christmas is in 9 days. (today is pretty much over.)

I'll tell you what sucks EXAMS!!!! I have three this week and I would love to finish my Super Bug for the Nav AV GB but well, since college costs I would get smacked if I didn't make the grades. Another weekend of brain overload. Anyways, I'm 28 and too old for this build but I wanted to tell jay_liang that the Rafale is looking good! I hate having to sand away so much detail as well but scribing is not so bad. Which Rafale kit is that? 1/48 or 1/72? Maybe Trumpeter will roll out a 1/32 and Double D!

you don't have year-end exams???!! SOOOOOO lucky. i want your school!!
I have provincial exams for almost EVERYTHING at the end of the year and that just kills me.

thanks! it's the Revell 1/48 Rafale B. i'm saying trump'll come out with the 1/32 in April '05. lol.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE B-DAY WISHES!!!!!

jay_liang that looks awesome!!! I just have a big sheet of sand paper that does the job.....well. i put putty on a huge gap on the zero yesterday, now im SANDING!! then ill put alittle paint on it see if its noticeable and move on if it is....
rebel..... and anyone who would like to try. i highly recommend trying paintball! the guns may not look realistic, especially with the big hopper (big thing that sticks up on the top that holds the paintballs) it doesnt hurt! as many people would think (a small plastic ball goin at 300 f/s)
i have testing days where i get tests from every subject b4 christmas break (nxt friday!!!) then finals afta i come back!! :(

Thanks for the encouraging comments

ps. just out of curiosity, who made our badge? lol

quagmyer made the badge for us.

oh, And dont get me wrong, we have finals at the end of the year, we just dont do anything on the last week of school, just makeup work.

iseeisee. school is over for me the minute i hand in my last exam!! man, it's too early to dream of that moment yet...

yep, way to far away

yeah too early- anyway tha phantom got a future coat... but i'm not sure how it turned out i might have to strip it and try again...

so the phantom is in the middle of decalling. i love decalling it really makes the model come alive.

me too. Probably my favorite step, that and detailing.
so did you end up stripping the first coat?

nah, it actually turned out OK. It'll be fine once the flat coat goes on over it. I had one run unfortunately, but mebbe i'll just swab that area with windex. shouldn't be a problem. had a bit of a run in with the shark mouths. my decal set/ softener doesn't eat up decals, but on the other hand it doesn't do anything else to them either, so i'll swich to micro sol as soon as i can find some.

never mind those try this one

yes!!! it works!!!! finally!!!!! and here's another one.

well then. unfortunately, those may be the only fotos you guys get, cuz im goin away for break, and i won't have time to post anymore. sorry about that. click for larger pics. be warned though, when i say larger, i mean LARGER.

dont worry about it. That is Sweet! Turned out really good.

Nice job on the camo! and i like your workbench - especially your spraybooth(i'm not being sarcastic here - i have the exact same thing!)

After moving my airbrush station from outside to inside all it is now is a bunch of Paper towles! LOL! I ll have to fix that....

just want to say, Tankmaster7, that phantom looks good! keep up the good stuff!

that is a good looking phantom there tankmaster

my fellow YGers, im afraid im going to change the submission for this GB. i was planning to submit the tamiya enzo, but the way i see it, i wont be able to finish it, due to many setback both my fault and the fault of circumstance prevailing against me (the circumstance was mom sitting on some parts and breaking them). so i have decided that i will enter a pair of gundams. one of them i am still working on, the other i had finished before i decided to change, but i started it well after the GB start date. is the one thats completed an OK submission ?

no problem

too bad. does youyr mom make a practice of sitting on your workbench? lol. or do yuo work on the couch? hope you can fix up the ferrari. those are my favorite cars.

actually it was half my fault half hers. i had put a box containing the parts on my bed cos its the most convienent place to put em while i work on stuff. sure enough, she came along and took a seat. smack on the box. it was a metal box but still it didnt help much. her back end wasnt the worse for wear but thats more than i can say for my engine block and dashboard. [:( ] conclusion : mom doesnt look before she plops, so i have to get my stuff outta the way.

tankmaster, great job on the phantom. sweet

reg- ouch! sorry to hear that man!!
otherwise hope yer all doin OK

thanks for the great comments everyone. i appreciate it.

i feel ur pain reg, i have a sister whose......not the sharpest tool in the shed......"think if i throw this ball at your shelf, and your models, do you think it'll bounce back????"
IM SICK OF IT!!! i cant take looking at my unfinished wildcat sitting there!!!! it needs decals!!! im putting on the bad ones!!!! i've pulled off miracles b4.....( jesus- "for my next miracle i'll turn water into FUNK!!!") hehehehehe family guy..... anyway, the reason im doing this is because i put decals (same in quality or lack there of) on and,(expectedly) the edges curled up... but alittle elmers and a few cuss words and it looks pretty good.... same with the wildcat, but i still have to make the canopy.......
WHO"S PULLING AN ALL NIGHTER ON DEC 30TH TO FINNISH THIS BUILD???? ME!!!

and i was wondering how did everyone get into modeling??
i got interested in modeling at the musuem of science and industry here in chicago..... when we went on a field trip when i was......7 or 8 idk right now....and i would just stare at the u boats, and aircraft carriers drooling..... so then when i went to Gdansk in Poland (a lot of hobby shops there...) i got my first model an ACADEMY (I BELIEVE) 1/48 fairly barracuda i bolted home and finnished it in 2 days (i promised my parents that i would finnish it when i came back) it wasnt painted but it was good....

I Had started painting Civil War figs in about 7 to 8th grade summer. Then the next year when My cousin came to visit we went to the hobby shop to get some new paints. He was getting a model and supplies, so he talked me into getting one and I did. Italerie's 1/72 M4 Sherman and Ever since then I have loved em. It wasnt to good either but hey, it was My first one.

i started with dollar store kits made by god-know-who. then i progressed to monogram snap tite

hello all, here are pictures of part I of my revised submission for this GB. its a 1/100 scale Aile Strike Gundam. another cool-looking gundam with a silly name. the cool sounding ones all look icky.




its weathered with pencil, but for some reason it is much more obvious on the model than in the pics.

that';s cool looking. i like it!
