I think PakNick's is good as well.

I notice that it is bigger than the permitted 65x65 pixels. I have altered a copy to 75x55 in my signature line (below), but the text becomes unclear. Is there any chance of you changing the font used to one that is a bit clearer?

Progress report:

Well, there is some. I've washed all the parts, removed all flash and mold marks, and begun assembling/priming/painting the engine. I'm waiting on some AM upgrades to arrive and I've picked my final paint color. That's about it.

Group Badge:

I like PakNick's as well, but I haven't seen the final versions of the others yet. I'll hold my vote until then. In the meantime, if the font is taken off of italics that may fix the legibility issue with PakNick's badge.

I say we set a deadline today for the other two badges. If they're not up by the end of the day, then we go with PakNick's.

That'll give a fair opportunity to others who want to contribute, but not delay any further the group badge vote.

ok, for the second time tonight (lost the first copy of this post durn it)

so far on the body I have chopped the top, and taken a 1/4 inch out of the body, I still have to fill and sand all the gaps on the roof, but I'll do that tomoorow.

I think we need to see some other pictures here, this could get kinda boring with just mine up here.

thanks

jim

Good progress, Jim Big Smile [:D]

That's going to be a smooth ride when you're finished.

I'll start posting pics when I have something worthwhile to post. Right now I'm fiddling with the engine. AND STILL WAITING ON THE UPS GUY! Angry [:(!]
