HEY WOW, THAT'S JUST GRRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAATTTTTT TAAAANNNNNKKY!!!!!!!


everybody! what say we all thank tanky for those woooooooonderful pics with a joyous round of DYT's!!!

ok, I'll start off....

DYT,DYT,DYT,DYT,DYT,DYT,DYT,DYT,DYT,DYT,DYT,......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Wow Tanky thats great.
Just checkin in Im in Indiana right now. Wont be back till Friday late. See ya.
Oh there is an armory or somting here and It has a Sherman out in the front. gonna get some ref pics.

well, i guess that idea died before i even keyed it in.

neways, what did you get for your mig tanky? the 1/144th tiger is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that really tops the 1/35 stuff.

i think i know the guy who was selling the 'figures'. i saw him at the northeast regional in sturbridge mass about 3-4 years ago. i started pagin through his tuff and he came over and stopped me. was pretty funny actually. neways, i wish i was there

the aicompressor and t-34 is what really gets me jealous. i need a new brush and compressor.

Matt, I actually didn't place anything with my mig. only with my bf-109 and prinz eugen.

Hey congrats tanky!!!!!!!!!!!! Which juniors did you lose to? they have some pics on the ipms website.

I heard the 144 tiger was like the 1/72 abrams last year, only some space capsul one best of show.
Now I am 100% jelous of the airbrush (mine is just starting to suck) nad the tiger!!!!!! and the y-34 with all those goodies!!!!!!! Luck lcuky man!

here gringe, DYT DYT DYT DYT DYT DYT DYT DYT DYT DYT DYT DYT DYT DYT

from all of the pics Ive seen, this was my favorite.

thats pretty surprising tanky, i thot youd have done real well with that one. from the pics ive seen of the other stuff you were well into if not above the class those other guys were building in. sometimes they do it just to let other kids win something. thats happened to me. ill enter in like 4-5 models, and 3 will place, while the others will loose to one piece that a younger kid entered. i wouldnt sweat it, its a boast to those kids to keep modeling. and as we all know, i love competition!!

and yeah, which ones did place higher than you? i dont see any dios there either.

thnx reb!

any of you planning on sending something to nats next year? It would be cool if we were all in the same competition.

Ok, just a word of advice for anyone planning on getting and using the detail sets I did. The Trakz T-34 interior and Aires fw-190 d9 detail set are EXTREMELY EXTREMELY
difficult to use. I normally say modelers of any experience can handle most things, but for both of these, you really really need to have some serious experience under your belt.
I would say at the evry least you should have experience using resin before and probably at leats a year of heavy experience under your belt. The Verlinden King kitty
engine pack is not as difficult, but please not the ENTIRE rear portion of the kit must be removed in order to install the verlinden pieces. The Aber PE isn't for beginners either.
OK, so I just thought i'd post to enlighten you folk on apporximately how difficult the detail sets are to use.

I must emphasize, especially the Aires set requires EXTENSIVE surgery. Other than that I can highly reccomend all of them, expecially thet Trakz interior! You guys should seriously get it!

lol, I got an aber Pe set to use as a first time with pe, wow, I got lost in those directions real fast!

WOW tanky , you must have cleaned out those vendor tables buddy, as for your placings congrats although I can't see any of the pics it sounds like you had some good fun and saw some excellent models!
I can only picture what it must be like at a show because to tell you the truth I've never been to one yet!

so tanky....where do you live, when will you be out of your house and where do keep all this stuff...
well im in gdansk right now, i taught kids in southern poland for 1 month, (i didnt really teach i was on the computer (i taught in the library) and we just taught them swear words and pick up lines)
I LOVE POLAND!!!!! this is the best country ever!!!! cops are lazy, drinking age is 18 (or look 18) bouncers in clubs dont care, cheap kamikazes
also went climbing on this one mountain, walkin by and i see a plague on the ground, it says that on top of this hill in (forgot date) polish partisans attacked a german column and three partisans died...so MUCH WWII HISTORY HERE!!!!
then i went to auschwitz....cursed the americans for not having a slaughter house for German POWs, instead we had a SUMMER CAMP!!!!!! SO MUCH FOOD!!! play sports, and even arts and crafts time!!!!! shoulda just built a giant blender and shoved them all in!!!!! NAZIS AND COMMIS!!!! make bastard smoothies (END RANT)
i see all yall workin on even bigger projects.... im gonna start a warsaw uprising dio when i get back....ill just pull an all nighter cuz i miss modeling a lot!! (probably the only thing i miss about the US right now... so im gonna go to the old town in WARSAW next week and do research
and now excuse me while i go to sleep (its 22:50 here)
SATURDAY: RAMMSTEIN!!!! in sweden (of all places)
l8r- americans DJ

must be good to be in a place where yer not only in the middle of WWII history, but you dont have to listen to ****** about his majesty George W. the Second, or how the pissy pants democrats cant do ****** about him.

neways, have fun at rammestein man!!

Going to sweden? Nice country i really liked it whn we went.

Man, sergei's gonna be out for my throat when he sees the stuff i bought. too busy DYTing me to start any revolution.

ITS OK HE FLYS OVER ANY PART OF POLAND AND HIS A$$ IS MINE!!!! DIDNT THINK YOU CAN PUT AN 88 ON TOP OF A POLISH APARTMENT BLOCK???

LOL. Believe it or not I actually am going to London over Christmas break. No stalingrad for me though... as I mentioned before I've been to russia already.Leningrad St. Petersburg.

Just thought i'd mention. the only reason we're going to London is that my dad is gonna be working there for a couple months. We ususally don't travel this much.

oh, so normally you just fly around the world once each year huh?

lol! We get on a plane evry, hmm, like 3 years! And we can fly for free!! (My uncle is a pilot) Guess its cuz cali has everyting, mountains, beach deser, volcano, you name it.

Im going to Hawii this year to. We are suppossed to leave aug. 13 but I want to leave the next day since that is the local IPMS contest.

tanky, build looks great. Looking forward to the tank though!

Hey reb seeing as your an expert on these things I was wondering if you could help me? I'm wanting to invest in a new BB gun and I was wondering whats the best? although it will have to be spring loaded as A.E.G's are unfortunatly illegal over here!
I'm wanting to get either a MP5 or a M4 carbine what do you think?

With a sprin action I think you're goign to get apparoximately the same performance from both, but i think the carbine would be more accurate. Don't trust me though, listen to reb.

I HEARD THAT!!!!!
DYT!!! I BET YOUVE BNOUGHT THE EARTH NOW THAT IVE GOT BACK!!!!
seriously though, glad you guys missed me. I havent had this much attention since I danced the Guten Tag hop-clop in front of everyone at heathrow. It was great over there. saw tons of brits with funny hats and scary lookin MGs.

I'dve taken a picture of the airport guards with MP5s, but one of them looked like he just got back from the pub and i didn't feel like pissing him off.
A T-shirt said: "a balaced irish diet: a beer in each hand"
A che T-shirt said: "She'a: alive and well and living in eire"
funniest pic: It's a bird! It's a plane! No, its....Medieval head lice!!
cool pic: big a$$ trebuchet (catapult)
good pic:london eye with the moon in the background.
and when I got back, guess what was waiting for me: yep, the long awaited

dundundun...

AIR COMPRESSOR!!!!!!

I tried it out:

I think i thinned the paint way, way too much, but I'm soooooooo happy now!!!!!!I haven't felt this good since we crammed 18 people into a hot tub that was designed to fit 6. 17 of those people were girls and the 18th was me. What else can i say.....
I'd do it again now, but i'm listening to some extraordinarily perky german music.

Ok now that ive taken the time to look back over some of the other pages, i'd just like to say...

THOSE PICKS MAKE ME DROOOL! SERIOUSLY, I WAS SALAVATING!!

good kits, many kits, stuff for kits....SOVIET TANKS!
