Young Guns GB #2

I just signed up for photobucket,my account is working,now what?How do I get pics on there?

ive ran into some pretty bad problems here.....i found out the one elevator is in the wrong place (aliitle too much forward than the other one) and i found more uneven places i need to sand.. i also need to find the RIGHT WAY to mount the missles. then i need to paint everything. put decals on (which i found in a book ( iwas using it as a bookmark) then weathering....itll be a miracle if i finnish in time for poland
GOOD NEWS! ill be able to use a computer in poland so ill be sure to update here cutting down the massive amount of reading i would need to do to catch up with u guys.....i might even buy a kit in poland and build it there (poland has a lot of HS so i would probably be able to get one)

nick, login to your account and you'll see the thing that say upload pics and there is a whit bar with a browse button next to it. Hit the browse button and then wherever you store you pics on your computerclick the file. Then click the file you wish to upload and click upload pictures. Just play around with it abit.

Then Do I go to the Properties thing?

Guys keep your fingers crossed, I might be getting and airsoft gun! It's from a chinese company. I know you're all gonna be yelling at me GET AN AEG FROM TOKYO MARUI!!! But I dont have that kind of cash. So i'll either be getting an AK-47 AEG or an MP5 AEG or I'll save up money for another year and get the Tokyo Marui Beita Spetsnaz AK rifle.

DYT!! You have realized amlost every single one of my dreams! Next thing I know youll be leading the communist revolution and sleeping with my girlfreind!!

Ok, I painted those grills black and am in ther process of weathering the gun. I also found something out: When I thin down the paint from my brush, the thinner gets all black and disgusting. Now if I slather this on the kit, let it dry just a little, and then wipe it away, some of the black gets stuck in the cracks and corners of the kit. Is this what they call a "blackwash"? If so, Can I use this for armor weathering?


And if you have an hour or so to kill, I would recommend you take a look at these. They are two classic soviet silent movies, October and The Battleship Potemkin. They are very good, both directed by the Soviet film genius Sergei Eisenstein. They have been given musical scores, and some limited sound effects. Oktober has subtitles for the story slides, while all the slides of Potemkin have been replaced with english. But the story is clear anyway. Oktober relates the stroy of the 1917 revolution, from the czar's overthrow, to the provisional govermnet, to the siege of Petrograd, toithe Petrograd Soviet and the degfeat of the provisional government. The Battleship Potemkin is about The mutiny of the crew of the Potemkin during the 1905 revolution.

Hmmm, I think the girlfriend is also one of your dreams sergei. But bad news, my mom has unexpectedly placed an embargo on airsoft guns. sigh.

tanky, if the embargo is ever lifted, Tokyo Muari guns are supposed to be the best internally. I have had so much crap with my m4 though I am ready to sell it! The MP5 Has worked great though.
The AK 47 and M-14 are my next choices, they two kick ****** guns. The only thing with the AK is that it is quite heavy, and trust me, we your running around and up hills you'll be crying for the Mp5. If you ever want to upgrade either one so that is shoots harder and faster, you will DEFFINETLY want to get a full stock! That goes for all guns, If you are going to hop it up, make sure it has a full stock, otherwise you will be left carrying a larger battery on the folding stock. If you have any Q's on Airsoft just let me know.

Do any guns come with hop up already? My only airsoft gun right now is a spring action pistol. It is pretty good and reliable though. Decently accurate bu only up to 7-8 yards. It's made by a company called CYMA. Have u ever heard of it?

havent heard of them.
There are 2 definition of hop up
#1. Putting the desired amount of backspin on the BB for distance. I am pretty sure all Tokyo Mauri's have this. I cant find it on my MP5 though, I think its a switch.

#2. Putting new internal stuff inside like piston to give the bb more velocity. You will have to buy this hop up seperatley. It isnt cheap either. I spen a pretty penny on mine.
All Tokyo Mauri AEG's shoot 280 FPS. I have mine Upgraded to shoot 400 FPS. Trust me, if you ever play at an Operation (check the net for local ones) you will need a hop up of at least 350.

here is the site I order from, good prices and very reliable.
www.airsoftatlanta.com

For a great gun out of the box, Classic army Mp5. Arround 300fps stock, and comes with tac light grip. The grip alone is 90 bucks. This whole gun is onle 20 -30 $ more than the TM.

Looks damn good. I hope my mom relents soon. But there arent very many airsfot fols up her on long island. too suburban if you know what I mean...

Reb-Ive got the pic in my photobucket album,now what?

Any other person is more than welcome to answer that question too : )

Ok what you do is under the picture there are three lines. one has url. the second one is something and the third one has the url already in the forum code here. just copy and paste the third one. If you move the pics into a sub album then the url changes. so be sure to use the url of the pic in the sub album. Doe that make sense?

Reb and Tanky- Ill stick to paintball.

Pics of my progress of the Corsair:

Yes it worked!Sorry if its blurry,my first try at this.Gonna get the paint maybe sometime this weekend....hopefuly.

Nick, do you hand paint or airbrush your models?

I used to hand brush,but Im going to try air brushing(the pic is not painted yet,just so ya know)

nick, any pics of your previous builds? Corsair is looking good.

Paintball is too messy! And personally I hate the way the guns look.
Tanky, too bad about the Suburban area. I live pretty much out in the country near the foot hills so there is lots of places to play.

Yeah, LI sucks for any of those (paintball, airsoft) about all weve got here is laser tag
DYT!! just give me that pistol and I'll end it right now!! I'll be going to sleep soon so I can have more dreams for you to steal!

I would...but there..not so good..horrible..it was just a quickie,im really taking my time n this one though..you still want pics?

Heres the underside of the Corsair, I dont know why theres that gray cut off though.

Again,sorry if the pic is blurry

the gray cutoff sometimes happens when photobucket doesnt finish loading the pic. Try uploading it again. Only post the pics if you want to.

Maybe Ill post the bics of all the completed aircraft..Im thinking about putting them on a base with a gold plaque thingy that says:Young Guns GB # 2

construction of bunker is complete. now i gotta just paint it and set it in a base.

the viginia has all her details complete too, save for the wires holding her stack in place. ive added her boat holders(?), railings, but i think im gonna skip on gun covers, theres just no real way of telling which guns had them for sure at the time of the engagement

WOW every one progresing nicely !!
nick- Those pics look fine to me as it is pretty hard to take ones that aren't blurry, keep em' coming!

As for me I've finely got all my projects done so I'm switching to cruise mode and hopefully will get a far bit of my model done before I go over to Aussie next week.
So iII keep you all posted on my progress!?..... I hope

Thanks Stuka,poduction on my Corsair has been halted though..

Anyone got progress pics?

Well sure. I have come along way since starting her on tuesday but here we go.
1/35 Tasca Luchs (pz II ausf L). Beautiful kit with working suspension! Ooo I love it soooo much! here are the road wheels and torsion bars all finished.



since the pic was taken I have completed assembly of the turret and painted the black on the road wheels. I am now working on the body. This kit totally kicks ass!

Looks like a good kit Reb!
