My Alligator finally arrived this week. I'm planning to devote this evening to it.

November, December, January, February, eh, only four months late. Smile [:)]

G'day,

I had taken a break from the model scene, due to my lady friend and her present project, it was interesting to help on this venture and is a subject I enjoyed helping with the business plan and setting up the program.

I'm back into the model building again with a substancail increase in the RAAF project, onother 9 have been added to the work load with a higher prioriey [I supose this is what happens when they put a pilot behind a desk], some of these are "WHAT IF" but one in particular is a 1/200 of the Wdgetail, I'm waiting on the photo's of this new RAAF bird because we'd have to make up the resin components for the modifications.

Wedgetail is the RAAF's name for the new 737 AWACS.

Just a note, folks: According to the new guidelines, the badge needs to be about half the size it is now. Maybe we could make badges representing each nation and modelers could select the one appropriate to their build? By "we," I mean somebody else, because I don't have any good graphics software. :-D

I already asked and the current GB are okay as long as you sig doesn't exceed the 330x200 72dpi limit! So no worries for your sig yet cdclukey unless you're planning on adding a lot more GB badges real soon! Big Smile [:D]

I think Tankergeoff will get a letter from Mr. Jeff Herne before too long though Clown [:o)]!

hello after a long absence!

finally finished my Kate!! i will post the pics over on the main aircraft forum in a minute...

i've been putting off doing the panel wash for ages and felt a bit stale, but i'm fairly pleased with how she turned out, although i'm not sure i'd make the kit again: too much effort, too little reward.

thanks,

Nicholas
Kind regards, Nicholas

If no one minds, I would like to change my build (again).. Received the 1/48th Monogram Zero as an anniversary present...gotta love that woman...
the model has no interior detail but I am thinking of taking the weathering to the extreme. Need to do some research on the plane ID, which is 3D-150 if anyone in the group knows of resources I can accessed to see where this plane fought and proper time frame.

G'day Folk's,

Been tinkering with the Tamiya 'Dragon Wagon' and the M-26 as a seperate kit, for sometime, but since getting back I've put this bird together, along with a couple of the Scale Magic additional resin bits and a couple of my own. It's not related to the Pacific Theatre, but it's something easy to throw together in a 3 day span.

Spent some time on the Monogram 1/48th Zero this weekend. No interior detail. Checked the fit-good fit though. Looked at the insided of the wing-this kit is circa 1962. Will be a good inexpensive kit to test some extreme weathering techiniques though.
