                        hmmm I saw something in the Young Guns GB that sparked this thought... how about we combine our pics and what nots and submit it to FSM for inclusion? I mean this IS something that hasnt been done before... just a thought.. we could all include a bit on what we did on the model or what not...

                        But Guiness is a good idea too...


                        Speaking of pics.. why have I not yet seen pics of this build???? ::said in best Kremps pose, trying to mimic her commanding stature:: I hope we have pics of it along the way?? (hopeful look)

                        Getting this GB in FSM would definately be an interesting read I reckon.
                        I hope people are taking happy snaps of this, or at least keeping the postage stamps/marks as proof, just in case Guiness becomes an option.

                        There's not much to take a pic of at the moment but I will once it is a little further on. I will also get a shot of me actually with the kit which I think everybody should do.

                        I plan on finishing up assembling the wings and fuselage, attaching them together (with seams filled) and then sending the kit to Jules, is this ok with everybody?

                        Cheers

                        I Think that submitting this build to FSM would be a great idea, maybe we should try to take pics with the same coloured background if we are gonna try to get this build published in fsm......
                        Darren I like the idea of a pic of everyone holding the model but Daniel didn't include a pic of himself when he posted up pics of the pit, maybe it should go back to him for a photoshoot before it comes here, either that or we can just include a mugshot of each of us when each stage is explained in the story............
                        If it's Ok with you guys i wouldn't mind having a crack at putting it all together and submitting it to FSM................
                        BTW i think Guiness is a good idea as well, i mean there is a record for how many live scorpions one can fit in the mouth so this has to be a viable record attemp, so who wants to look into that TOM.....

                        Don't look at me Jules... the most scorpions I am able to handle is 6 or 7... of course these were those big dark brown ones, and I was only in high school... maybe the smaller light tan ones out in West Texas... hmmm... I'll look into that and get back to you. Dinner [dinner]Dunce [D)]

                        Jules I have no problems wrapping up the fuselage and pit and sending it back to Pingy for some happy snaps before we move on, or do you just want to include a mug shot of the offenders once completed. What does everybody else think?

                        Sounds okay by me too though now that the cockpit is all closed up in the fuselage it might ne a little confusing to some as to what part Ping was involved in.

                        Never fear Dave, thanks to my astonishing laziness the fuselage is cleaned up but is yet to be sealed. As I said in an earlier post I had completely forgotten about this build and feel pretty bad about it actually Black Eye [B)].

                        Daniel, can you shoot me through your address via e-mail and I'll safely package up the fuselage and cockpit and send them back to you for a photo opp.

                        Cheers

                        BTW i think if we are seriously going to try to get this published maybe you guys can come up with some sort of narrative briefly outlining what part of the build you did...

                        Jules (and everybody) the wheel wells are painted and wings assembled and sanded. The fuselage should be with Daniel by now for some happy snaps.

                        Pingy, have the two packages I sent arrived yet?

                        Cheers

                        Got it yesterday mate. Do you want me to take pics and put them in the box with the model, or should I leave them in digital format and email them?

                        BTW, thanks for the reference disc. Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Daniel, because Jules is organising the pics and articles and things your best bet would be to contact him and find out how wants them sent but my guess would be to leave them in digital format, but take lots so you can pic and chose the best.

                        Good to hear everything arrived safely as well.

                        Cheers

                        Jules thanks for the info Thumbs Up [tup] because my camera is only a 3.2MP. I will have to borrow my mates 5MP for some happy snaps before I send the 109 on to you.

                        Cheers

                        Ah, I like having my brother live in the same house as me......He has a 5.1 MP camera.

                        I usually use a light blue background for my pics, but I'll use whatever you want. It might be better if we use the same colour background.
