                        double D- you wont be alone my friend, ill be sitting at the bench here as well.

                        I got started as a war-junky back when i was like 6-8(?). i got one of those cheap little soldiers kits and that just started it all. NEway, when i was ten i got a kit of the arizona. thatwas my first model, and i still want to get another one and trick it out with some PE and an actually decent paint job. eh, i got time....

                        BTW- reg, nice lookin model. im not into gundams presonnally, but it looks good to me.

                        Hey, as long as you started after the start date its ok.

                        For hosting pics, post them here. But first you'll have to upload them to a site, I use

                        www.photobucket.com

                        Its free and very easy to use. then once you have uploaded pics onto the photobucket site, high light the URL and copy it.
                        then type (on the forum, on the page you want to post pics on) only with out the spaces.

                        Oh, and just t you guys who dont get out until Wednesday, I think you will be happy when I go back to school on the 4th.Sad [:(] and your still at home!

                        my first kit was a uss missouri that "I" (ie my dad) built. the first kit i builkt by myself was a mig-21 by academy. to see how i've progreesed during my career ask me and i'll attempt to get pics up of the mig, and you can compare to the pahntom. the mig was unpainted and very gluey and some decals were glued on!!!!!!!!!

                        i'm hoping to get my model ready for paint today, and hopefully the first colour on her. i'm prepping for paint as of now, and it's tedious.

                        here are the two fuel tanks.


                        here's the canopy masked and painted the inside colour - black, and ready for the gray.


                        i reworked the gap between the wings and the fuselage.

                        M1, thats a good idea. Did you have to seal it, or did it stick pretty good?

                        t-34, welcome back. I know its hard when you miss a few days off the forum. Im on here everyday and there are usually 2 -3 pages of new post in the armor forum alone. Hope the computer doesnt crash again. Looking foreward to seeing some pics.
