all my colors are done by eye, i just buy the basic ones and the ones that are hard to make like brown, and sienna, i dont even have a green right now!!! i just mix blue and yellow and add black or white when needed.
BTW! IM BACK IN THE US!!!!! its great to be back!!! its funny theres a refugees line at the airports...i wanted to stand in that line...see what they would do...hehehe
FEELS GREAT BUILDING THINGS AGAIN!!! but right when i touched my F-14 the elevator fell off.....after all that sanding!!! and puttying!!!! the paint still looks uneven!!! i gotta do more sanding......*sigh* i wanna quit on it for today.....but i have nothing else to build.....dont feel like stressing with my 1957 chevy belair, and i dunno if the GBs started where i can start with my warsaw uprising dio or my sdkfz 251!

sergei- another GB is tempting...but ethnically being a polak of sound mind i cant join a commie one....unless my build could be of me kickin stalin in the nuts!!

polacks were a commies....But I see the point...Perhaps a what -if People's republic of Poland space battle cruiser? Maybe not....I suppose WWII Polish resistance could pass off as commie...

But that GB wont start until may day 2005. Big Smile [:D]
right now I'm painting some detail on my BMP. It's depressingly monotone right now. I suppose (hope) that will change once I weather it a bit.

space battle cruiser?? reminds me...so poland has a space program and our first mission is to go on the sun!!! hehehehe stupid americans.....WE'RE GONNA LAND AT NIGHT!!! hehehe....polaks are so backa$$wards
and polish warsaw resistance? commie? NEVER! stalin was to big a dumb (cussing session) to help the polaks fighting or even to let the americans let planes take off @ russian airports to help the insurgents!!!! he coulda helped us win, kick some nazi arsch but (cursing seesion) (end rant)

reb!- do you have any good internet pics of the sdkfz 251 interior? i need it cuz im gonna start the kit tommorrow and u said ill have to scratch the entire interior...i wanna see what im up against! thx

here are some more pics. Some are of ausf D's instead of c's. But I belive that the interiors are pretty much the same, except for the doors and seats.

wood seats = an ausf D

go through these pics if you have DSL. (there are quite a few). the 3rd pic is an interior shot of an ausf C. you can tell by the doors.

Hey guys, sorry I havent posted, Comcast has been down for 3 weeks, and I've had to use AOL, which just makes me mad because its very slow. Good news, my brother just left to get a digital camera (the old one broke) and I should be able to post a picture of my Dingo.
On Saturday I go to Acadia NP (in Maine) for a week! woo!

hehe welcome to the club reb..... all and i mean every song is awesome, each one has a different taste to it....ull like them...now just see them live and ull really love them!

started the sdkfz today, got a crazy idea to make a sdkfz 215 hot rod, tracks exchange for rims, a huge engine, lower it all.....hehehehehe i gotta build that someday...
worked for an hour on the steering column alone, put a fuse in it, wires, a hose (i dunno for what but its in the pics) and on the pedals for the brakes and gas

reb- im confused about the water tank, that they say to put between the driver and radio operator.. in some pics that u gave me, i can vaguely see something there, and in others i didnt see any...what did u do on yours? cuz its really bothering me!

We have a house like a five-ten minute walk from downtown Bar Harbor, or what it was two years ago, it may have changed since then (downtown, not the house), its a busy place. We used to stay at Blackwoods camp ground, but we sold our trailer 4 years ago

double d, The water tank should not go there at all. It was only put on Sdkfz 251/8's (ambulances). Its just another kit error, so just leave it off.
also, not sure howmany pics show it, but you'll need a radio to. There are a couple sets out there, one i think is verlinden, that have a radio set.

so far my favorite rammstein song is Amerika.

My favorite Rammestien is (obviosly) Moskau. It's the first song I heard (well, actually, the first one was Amerika, But I didn't know rammstein sung it, so it doesn't count). That one guy has a really scary voice.
Any way, I'm currently waiting on a shipment from UPS. allow 2-3 days for shipping, they said. 2-3 days my @$$! Now, day 4 is drawing to a close, and still no loot for Sergei.

yes, ACDC is pretty freakin sweet, Just like mettalica!

Just a reminder, Tommorow is the finish date for this Group build. Ya, Kinda snuck up on me too!

double d, When tamiya researched this kit, thye used the 251 at bovington whic was a 251/8 restored to a 251/1. Im not sure if they had the headrests, or they are just completly blind.

Well I am finally posting pictures (comcast is up sometimes, but we're getting this new broadband where it connects through the power lines, so you just plug the modem into your outlet! cool)
I tried to use the Rustall wash, maybe I didnt let it sit long enough or something, but I dont think it did very much. The reason the top is all the way covering is: I painted the inside for the top off, but when I attached the instrument panel, I forgot to paint it, so I just put the top on. I like the Mickey Mouse camo, but it got kind of tedious after a little, so I stopped making cool shapes (the starish thing on the back, theres some 8s on there) Well, it was fun. The front wheels are annoying as hell though.

OK, I'm out. I'm taking the badge out of my sig. I'll be in with my BMP-2 for #3.

Day5: Still no UPS truck. Were losing hope. It's time to fact reality. Well need to start eating our older kits. We also need to limit thinner usage. One thimble ful a day. Also, no more care for broken kit, they will be killed and eaten first. There is no hope for our lives anymore. May god save our souls. -last recorded message from Sergei Kiriyenkov, leader of failed modelling expedition to deep Siberia.
