                        Hey, I hated not having an airbrush either, then I got one for Christmas.
                        What I do to avoid my finger touching the wet paint ant get paint on the them is the following.
                        1. I use a small piece wood (like a popsicle stick but thicker) I CA glu it to the bottom of the model, and then I have something to hold it by.
                        2. To avoid painting my handsI wear rubber gloves, like what doctors use. I have also covered my hands with saran wrap.

                        Bet your glad you didnt try to fix the camera with the hammer method. Big Smile [:D]Black Eye [B)]

                        Got my digital camera to work... Guess what was wrong with it... BATTERIES DEAD! lol. My kit is an Italeri and theres a fair ammount of fit problems and I'm only done with the lower hull! Disapprove [V] I took a pic of the box and stuff with part of it done... I hate not having an airbrush! I have to use these stupid spray cans and my fingers are greenish from tipping over the model it do the bottom and I have orientation tomorrow. Sad [:(] But I live in the States and I start Sept. 7, I guess it depends on where you live in America.

                        you young'ns joke about us old guys and taxes... just remember that when you graduate and (hopefully, well if you're lucky in todays economy) get a job...

                        All your taxes will be going toward keeping us old guys alive just one day longer in the old folks home...

                        Well today I wan't in much of a building mood, so all I did today was airbrush some of the roadwheels for my 1/35 Dragon Panzer III J and Airbrush the basecoat of Dark Yellow onto my 1/72 Italeri Elefant (fun little build).

                        Tomorrow, It's building time! (I can't do much more on my panzer III anyways until My LHS gets some epoxy putty in, the turret had some fit problems)

                        yeah, but when you passed algebra 1 by the hair of your nose (horrible analogy...........i know.), that makes it a little bit tougher.

                        HEY,
                        Geometry is pretty easy, try algebra two. I took geometry last year so its not too hard for me. I tried opening my doors, and now there is a huge gap between the edge of the door and the body. What can i do to close up that gap but still be able to open the doors?

                        that sucks so bad, dude. just hit it with a BFH (really big hammer) and then try it. if it still doesnt work, hit it some more times. it might come out worse off then whe nyou started, but at least you took out your anger on an inatimiate object.

Can't take any pictures!Boohoo [BH] I started a little and got the suspension done, but didn't want to do more because I know you have to take pictures off your progress, not just the final model.

                        Ok so today i think i am goign to put my zimmeret on from calviar. Also maybe do some minor assembly. But ill have to wait till firday for my interior. Figires my first day of school my interior comes in, but thats why we have long weekends isnt it?

                        Also Im not sure if this has been mentioned yet but when we have the old folks judge our builds should we have them in certain catagories like, first with the ususal like air craft, armor and what not and then we could have best paint job most original and so on. Also we could make a special badge for those earning each honor. Maybe something liek the original with just a 1st place armor on it or something. oh well thats just what i have to say about it
                        IF you can't beat them then they are not tied down properly

                        hey, i don't know if it's too late to join, but i'm really interested in this group build. this'll be my first one. i'll be building a Revell 1/48 Rafale B, but in Canadian markings(just as said in my signature). i just turned 16 on the 27th.

                        btw, can i add the GB badge to my sig as soon as i join the build?

                        oh yea. i forgot to mention. i might get my Revell '32 Ford done in time for the GB. i got it yesterday at Hobby Lobby half off because someone had bought it then found out it had the wrong instructions and took it back. then the folks at Hobby Lobby just wrote a note on it that said "wrong instructions, half price, as is" so i bought it. its my first hot rod with a theme. it was inspired by the upcoming college football season. if you dont know what team, just check my sigAngel [angel] update: 1 hour, 15 minutes till start up! later.
