Young Guns GB #3- Must be under 18!!!

Well I could save up money for a couple of years to fill her up You're right about going to k mart for ammo, I'll have to check out walmart

taoEro, welcome into the build.

reb- youd need to save up for awhile just to GET to the walmart....im pretty sure walmart has some in the back aisles...i know when i was lookin for another panzerfaust and shoemine....i think i saw something back there

no progress here....been too busy...and im not in the mood today (sick) and too busy listenin to my new System of a Down cd, and Staple (kinda unknown band i found them off myspace.....hehehe theyre a Christian METAL band!!! it sounds so cool when a guy begs for repentance to Jesus to an electric guitar)

-rock on-DJ

so Walmart is part of the black market

What do you think of the new system of a down Cd? Its alot different than their last one. Not bad though. Song #9 is the best! Terra Cotta pie! lol.

Tanky, I forgot, were building just a drivers compartment or a turret interior with the drivers compartment?

BTW, how are fruils? are they worth the money?

O, my football team just lost the division semifinals, 34-0 in the pouring rain (so depressing). It was far away so I didnt go, but I saw on the news that one of our running backs was playing QB. hmmm, thats deffinetly interesting. Well, I can hope for next year.

Need to get some other kits done I have five needing painting.

I know exactly what you mean. I have several that need paint as well.

Ok heres what the Dinn looks like in the box http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c353/Char-88/IMG_0308.jpg 

To make the Dinn AWACS  I have to build a rader heres my simple plans http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c353/Char-88/IMG_0307.jpg I have to cut off some parts and build the rader up from sheet plastic.

i got my new FSM today.....that big dio with the germans in that forest is AWESOME!!!!! its so cool!!! i found myself staring at it for a good 20 min!!! its sooooo cool!!!

no progress here...although if i didnt have this much hw and all the stuff i had to do for my b-day (17!!!) i wouldve worked on it a lot! that FSM really inspired me to work on something.....

reb- new SOAD is freakin sweet!!!! yea  i love the entrie album!! but i especially like: "Kill rock n roll", "holy mountains" "vicinity of obcenity" "she's like heroin" and "soldier side!" -its soo cool!

-the more we learn about the civil war, the more i want to build a dio on it... do you guys know any companies or kits that have so union or confederate soldier in action (1/35)?

-DJ

shenandoah miniatures makes them in 1/32 (54mm). Not sure any body makes them in 1/35. These are supposed to be excellent figs. I want to get some myself.

I haven't got an FSM mag in forever. Maybe I'll take a road trip out the NSLHS and see the dio.

painting on my stug is done. now I need to paint the tools and paint chips etc.

200+ kits.....i MIGHT have that if i counted am stuff, no way do i have that in kits alone.  nice work man!

The only sad thing it only took me one year to build all it up. Heres just my unbuilt Gundam kits http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c353/Char-88/ee065527.jpg theres aircraft above the shelf 90 of those I think and a B-29 under the shelf with lots of figure kits about 30 and cars 4, armor 6 and more figures to the right that you cant see.

Hey, I can actually reply, but I'm at school now, so it still may not work at home. Here's my progress on my ship, 1/700th USS Cowpens. Those are a lot of gundam kits, will you ever build them all?

These things are tiny!

Ok think I will start my Dinn AWACS tomorrow just the rader dish for its back, cause I dont have much to work on other then painting a few things and letting them dry all day. Its good to be home schooled!

well I think Im the first one to say it, but I hate having a big stash. It just reminds me of wasted money. I haven't bought a new kit since like June and I am happy. Unfortunately my progress is so slow it wouldn't have mattered. But I dont plan on buying any new kits until I have no more left to build. Besides, I'm sure to get some for christmas.

When your home schooled, do you have to get up at a certain time? I've been late to 1st period by at least 5 minutes almost every day for a few weeks now. And I just found out my 1st period teacher takes off points whe tardy. It's US history and I have a c+ because of it. That should be my best class! Not fair, just cause I can't wake up!

4:30!!!! I find it hard waking up at 7:00!! wow...

NO HW TODAY!!!! YES!!! time for some modelin!!

i can barely get up at six.  course i go to bed way too late anyway. 

see reb, thats why i started picking up AM parts.  too many other kits. 

PROGRESS ON BUNKER!: yeah, ive actually done some stuff.  the turret is attached.  the seam can be seen but its not too obvious so im letting it slide (its too ahrd to get at)  i picked up some preiser figs if i havent told ya, and i pulled a frankenstein with the one so hes coming out of the bunker surrendering.  not so sure about the one i want dead, hes a bit more difficult.  also- came up with simple way of barbed wire for the scale.  i saw on one of the other forums a method for 1/35, by wrapping two wires together and making the barbs by further wrapping.  i just folded over a length of fine solder (finest i had) twisted it to the right twist, and wrapped it around a pen of sufficient diameter.  i left off the barbs simply because theyd be too small to see in 1/72/87, at least in my view.  looks pretty good.  the veneer around the outside is geetting finished.  i havent taken off the resin german equipment for fear of loosing or breaking it (its fine).  so thats it for now.

damn, you wake up at 4:30!!!!! I havent seen that time on the clock in a while (in am)  I have enough trouble rolling out of bed at 7:30! Then washing the ice off my windshield (yay for winter) I think I am a serious driving hazzard in the morning

got a little more painting done on the stug. Not much.

Cant wait till Christmas break!  1.5 weeks!
