reb- ive tried every subj except space, and ive done really well on all of them, on cars i have a problem with painting the bodys..
on 251 i can modify some things...i know the interior looks like crap!! whos job was it to research it in tamiya!??? im gonna scratch everything, maybe try making resin copies of the seats to make backs....
so now you see my dilema! scratch an entire ship, or an entire interior of a 251!!!

Young guns #3 would be for awhile. Nick, add the F-16 to the list. You are a quick builder! I still have 2 6 month old builds. One has paint, and the other I just keep detailing. And the worst part is, I sort of, kinda started another on.... Well, Ineed it for my dio!Big Smile [:D] that was my exception.

OK, question for you guys. As you know I like to take up some HUGE projects to keep me busy after some esay kits. (Last one was the MiG-29). Now there are 2 options for my next one.

1. DML T-34/76 model 1941 with verlinden resin interior set/ verlinden resin engine compartment/Eduard (or other company) PE exterior detail set.

2. Tamiya T-72 converted to a T-90 using Terre Models conversion, Modelkasten indy tracks, Eduard PE and scratch interior.

Which would you go for?

the one I could afford! oh wait.....

I'd go with the t 34. Mainly cuz I I like WWII armor. I am actually thinking about doing the same thing as you for another GB, only blow the whole thing apart with a Tiger early moving by. Better start saving my money.
BTW, Great looking bird so far.

Thanks a lot for the link reb. I think I might be going for the T-90 because I already have the tamiya T-72 kit.

Cripes, it looks like I have my work cut out for me with that conversion. The frontal resin armour really does look like it needs to be replaced with a scratchbuilt one.

wow, you guys r movin along. congrats stuka on the 500 by the way.

just back to the question of what to do in my school the rest of the time, while the excitment afforded by girls in the classroom can be quite nice, not having them there lets everybody relax. nobpdy's really tryin to be macho or sh!t, we can goof around, and besides, ive never taken a note in any class this whole year, and i still got first honors last quarter.

back to builds- snag on the tank bunker, the resin turret barrel broke, and while i scratched a new one, its been glued in too long, and i cant get at the mantlet end to shorten that part. virginia & monitor- monitor's done, virginia's awaiting details. im planning on working a lot today (this is of course a proposal, and the reality of this actually happening depends on how long i keep my fingers crossed)

well, as i predicted, the tracks were a REAL BIG PAIN!!1 i had to cut off two track links, then melt the two pieces together, and they wouldnt stick together!!! i tried holdin them together with some glue (not good idea: it says flammable.....) i realized i melted too much (one tooth desapeared!!) so now i have to somehow cover this up. (gulp)

sorry man seriously. my prayers are with him. I hope he comes out ok.

as for the virginia thing, we ditched the Merrimack, so its the Virginia now. unfortunately, red communists don't count when it comes to the debate over the naming of the merrimack/virginia, as they were not involved in any way, and so their views, while 'cute,' are not to be taken into serious consideration. Big Smile [:D]

BTW, tanky nice lookin Bf manThumbs Up [tup] you seem to have the painting of the base colors down pretty well. now lets see the weathering...

Weathering comes after I flat coat it. I'm not going to go too heavy on it. Just exhaust stains and some paint chipping. I already emphasized the panel lines with a sharp pencil.

John I'm really sorry about your grandparents.

I created a mottle mask by cutting spots out of card stock, and then used blobs of blu tack to attach them to the surface, and sprayed on RLM 71 with my trusty Anthem 155.

ok, Just wondered if they were airbrushed.
thanks for having some concern guys. I just found out my grandpa will be ok. Cool [8D]

in My build i have completedthe tracks, finally so that means all that is left is gluing on the air recognition flag.

What you do, D?

Good News, Reb. Sorry about your grandma. I can't imagine it. I'm lucky, mine are still ok.
