My stukas all closed up now, so I'm just working on the seams and getting the wings stuck together which is pretty simple and quick.
Has anyone made any progress on there kits? Post some pics soon

IM 80% done! fenders on, some stowage. all i need to do now is: glue the turret on , more stowage, final details, weather, paint camo (not nesscarily in that order), tracks, and ill be done!
i shouldve taken a pic of how the cutty sark looked b4 i ripped it apart ( and this time i actually did rip it apart) but i thought it would give some of u guys nightmares, but it is the bare plastic color- black, warped deck, warped hull, warped masts, to little or too much glue in places, no rigging. yea pretty bad...

sergei- i know what you mean, i have a uss united states, i rigged it perfectly! but then someone knocked it down, it borke, and i had to rebuild it, and the rigging is pretty bad, even the masts are a bit wavy from the fall, which in turn made the rigging all bad.

7tp- Camo-done Weathering-pretty much done Needs stowage, Needs tracks, and then i am done!!!!

the "commie" magazine? yeah.

I have tremendous pity for you, Gringe. Really, I do. Anything I can help you with....you have my deepest sympathies, dude.

And about that rigging: it didn't break, i made it like that. thats what's so bad and embarassing.

SCHOOLS OVER!!!!!!! I GRADUATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M OUT UNTIL REGENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to a very happy place. Won't be back for many a minute.

Double D, that 82nd airborne song is the best!

There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the chute,
Intestines were a'danglin from his paratroopers suit.
he was a mess. they picked him up and bore him from his boots
and he a'int gonna jump no more!

i dont care man, i chose to go there. besides, we dont have to take regents, and there are like 5 all girls school around us, so dances, OOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

a pyro is short for a pyromaniac, or someone not quite a pyromaniac, but still a lover of all things fire.

i aint sure bout nats tanky. i aint really sure about anything this summer. i think the chance might be good though, as my nephew was just born in NJ, and we'll be goin down there over the summer for the chrisening, so me and my dad could drop off my mom at my sis's house with the baby and we could head on down to georgia. might give me a chance to catch some civil war battlefields.Big Smile [:D]

This summer I am goin on a cruise to hawaii. In summer. With water. People go in water. Not in their normal clothes. Half of all people do not belong to the same gend...
ahhhhhhh.... Hawaii.

I gotta take regents soon. I'll be all done on the 22nd, even thoughs school ended today.

Yeah, so... i hope to get a lot of building done tomorrow, free day, except for a wee bit of stduying.

wow, an all boys school? Id go crazy! I bet you have to wear uniforms too huh? Oh I could never do it! I'll take my t shirt, shorts and flipflops thank you very much!Big Smile [:D]
On Georgia battlefields, There are a ton of them, some are actually preserved fields, others are just plaques in front of houses. My cousin live a few blocks away from a house with a plaque in the front yard describing the battle that took place on the very ground. ITs pretty sad, lots of the battlefields are being built over.
You catholic guys, Man I got to give you credit ! I went to a Rosary * tonight, whew, almost fell asleep...

Pyro, How can you not know what a Pyro is? All kids are pyros!Big Smile [:D] And its almost 4th of July! Time to stock up!

PYROTECHNICS!!!! I don't have much to do with fireworks, im more a bonfire type person, as is my whole family. and we have laws here banning fireworks and stuff, which is uncool. and being a commie sort of puts me off the fourth, but it's fun anyway.

I know, but gringe, dances aren't every day! What do you do during school times? All that's left is...*gulp*...listening to the teachers!!

Double D- Yep, i heard that swift boats were fiberglass too. Or maybe it was PT boats? Is there a difference? and probably both of them were fiberglass.

Ok, I'm off to watch some twilight zone. I'm not gonna get any sleep tonight. That stuff but some of the freakiest sh!t i've seen!

no kidding! [:0]

Jin, looks good. Alot better job with the rust.
Tanky, as soon as you are not feeling so lazy, get those pics up!Tongue [:P]
Fireworks over here in Cali are based upon your county or city. Orange county cant have them but LA can. I can buy fireworks, but about 2 miles east, you cannot since it is the foot hills-Dry dry dry grass. Oh, and here you can only buy them Like june 30 to July 4th. And you cant get the good ones, you know, the ones that go BOOM! and shoot in the air and stuff. So far I have only been able to get one of my home made fireworks airborne...Cool [8D]

WOW man you guys have all got too many restrictions over there, over here you can legally buy fireworks at the age of 15 and you can use them all year round whenever you want as long as your reasonably carefull, the sad thing is you can only buy them at certain times of the year which is a complete bummer!
