hi,Lobbie thanks for posting the pics,well guys not much to say about the kit,it is an Italeri kit,its a dukw with 105 mounted,the cammo is from the box art,showing U.S marines on Jwo Jima 1945. i hope you like the pics,comments please.

Roy's DUKW / 105 pix. Roy I'll let you edit the words for these, we had some problems but it sorted it's self out.

Could I still jump on with a downed Corsair Dio?

nice to here that you are ok,my comp is [fubared]for now but i hope it will be not long.the lvt-4 is starting to look good i will finish it before too long,glade you are better .

G'day Folk's,

Roy,
I got the pix, having a problem with them, but I'll sort it out.

Incidently I'm slowly recovering from my mishap at home and very lucky, thanks to some very concerned people and friends, one of which was prepaired to come out here to care for me, but after 5 hours chatting I managed to convince her I was ok, I'm getting back on my feet but slowly and for those interested in what is on my workbench, I have been given a Tamiya 32 F-15c Eagle as a contract build.
Problem is I can't sit down for too long at present, as I have to move around and stretch every now and then to free the joints, once again thanks to good friends for the concerns of my well being.

Lobbie,i sent that Dukw file back to you,how it works ,well i just sprayed my lvt-4,its not too bad but not the way i would like it,[oh well] i just have to get better at kits .wont i.?i have all the decals on so its comeing along.?should i dry brush before or after the clear coat? thanks guys,have a good modeling day all.

G'day Folk's,

It's been hectic on this end for the last couple of weeks, but I did manage to get to the Melbourne 2005 Toy Fair, for a day, answering emails when I get the chance too, sometimes as many as 50 a day, helping my brother move house and those ?????????????????? pigs, [a mini gun or a few land mines will solve the problems, with both sides of this issue]. Meetings with the RAAF are becoming a weekly hasale and sometimes all day events, my teaching is taking up to much time and junior is only now starting to take over some a little of the administration work of Scale Magic. On another note I'll be MIA from July 18 to August 7, as I've taken the teaching job that was offered to me for this year, as a yearly thing for 2006, so the 3 weeks is when I'll be away looking into my next years project of teaching.

Roy,
I sent an email regarding the pix you would like posted, we'll get them up here shortly for you.

Joe,
When I have several hours spare I hope we can chat again. And yes to antisipate your next question, internet will be provided over their for me.

The big 55 is approaching and I think the body is telling me too retire and stay at the modelling desk.

rob that looks very very good. good to hear so much progress. that type 97 tank is looking to be higher on the to do list now.


joe

hi guys,well i finished my Dukwwith 105 just waiting for Lobbie to post the pics.i got the first coat on the lvt-4,i used polished steal from humbrol,i dont know if it will turn out the way i want it to yet,put a coat of rust on the tracks so far so good.how are the builds doing?,i hope you are all haveing a good time.

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.

reb looking forward to seeing your finished kit.

My Chi-Ha is finally finished. Now I am waiting for the camera to return... Could be years
My sister left it at a friends...............again

your bird is looking good Lobbie,did you get the pics i sent you of the dukw-105?,i think the pics are pretty good ,when you post them the others can see them. thanks.

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.

that is one sweet tbm , thanks for sharing.

looks awesome oscarduce



rob you tell junior that it is about time he did something.


hahahahaha


joe

Thanks,

Roy and Joe, it's good to be back.

Incidently Joe junior has a 48 scale F117 in progress, it's the Tamiya kit

rob good to see you back online. and good to hear about "junior".


joe

nice to have you back Lobbie

G'day Folk's,

After my absence I'm now back in the land of models, [?????????????? pig farm], Steve I'll edit the main page and include your addition to the 'FAMILY' thanks for the email.

Dolly is a clone sheep, I betta join the band wagon and clone myself 4 fold, then again I've got 'Junior' [aka 150man junior member of Scale Magic], out of retirement , he was suffering withdrawl symtems, sorry about the absence.

Put me down for Hasegawa's 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat.

Woot!

sorry bout the lapse in postin. i went MIA for a while finishin up anothr build(not related to anything in particular) ive started work on the type 94 jap tank. its all resin, from New Resin, a cottage works i think. even the tracks r resin, given to u in sections. ill post up som pics once i got some more done on it.

I havent posted here in a while. I finally made some major progress with my build. I painted her up and put on a coat of future. I should have it all finished up by the weekend.

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.

The pit is almost done on my Sonia and the fuel truck is ready for the paint booth today. It's my primary build right now so its moving along.

hi folks just thought i would check in,my kits are comeing along not to bad.how are all you folk doing.

happy easter all.

yeah, razor.... i just might. lol. gotta shrink'em still, i know....
