i can work something with the badge again.  i didnt think of it before...

reb, add some random patches of grass by hand, insteqad of in the clumps.  it will make it look a little less planted.  otherwise, the base looks great.

ygmodeler: sorry man.  good luck

What do you mean gringe?  If mean one strand of grass added around, Im not sure that will work, I dont think they would stand up.

Yg, that sucks. My report card is going to have all C's and a B in History. As far as I know, I dont have any punishments coming. Cool [8D] (Ya I'm a slacker)

Reb, I agree with Matt. The grass looks too uniform, like it was put there by hand. (Which it was lol). It either needs to be completely unbroken or much more random. Otherwise the base is looking awesome.

well, im back, i guess, it seemed like a long while, i had to study for stupid finals, but now they are over and i have a 5 day weekend...it was wierd the test i thought would be the easiest was kinda hard and the test i thought was gonna by very hard (AP Us history) was pretty easy!

in light of the latter...no progress here

reb, to make it seem that there arent uniform clumps of grass id spread out the grass, just press it down a little to make it spread out, so the roots are not visible, and just the tops.......but i see its coming along great!! cant wait to see it finnished!

just to note, i bombed all my mid-terms.  it sucks.  nuff said....

reb. i dont mean individual blades, but clumps, with your fingers.  becase you already have patches that are secrue they will support the new grass, and once it has dried a little on the base, you can even adjust the way they bend.  i did it with my pz.38 base.  just cut some off, grap it with your hand, and touch it down.  shud work fine

Thats almost what Ive been doing, Only drill a hole first. So let me get this right, take a small clump, put some glue on the bottom and place it in an open space and let the others support it while it dries?

got it, only you might want to put the glue on the ground first, otherwise, it might catch on the other grass blades and make a mess on hte way down.  you can sprinkle dirt over it once its done to cover the glue that is exposed.

its like impossible to fail the ap us history final, cuz of the massive AP curve...me n my friend added it up and to get an 89% u just need to get 48/80 ?s right! thats amazing!

we had our german test on the internet (our teacher typed one out) so we got our results instantly i got a 78% yay?! i still got the second best grade in the class! das ist spitze!!

i think here in chicago we effectively killed off winter with our global warming....today the temp was 55!!!!! jeez in january!!!! -DJ

spent the morning at our club's kids class.  I taught there.  Did I just say that??  eheheh, that's terrible.  let me refrase, 'I mentored there.'  anyway it was fun.  you don't have to do any research or detail work, you're just there to help little kids build right from the box.  i find it relaxing.  course with some little kids, it can be what drives you over the edge.Big Smile [:D]

I go to a normal high school now. Failing is 64 and below. I'm not entirely sure I actually failed the midterm btw. Just don't think I did well at all.

i think i just made more work for myself, i decided to play some football down here in the basement and well....to make a long stroy short... the wide reciever didnt complete the pass, and smashed right into the superstructure of the cole...amazingly, not much fell off, but its still extra work....whew

dang already at WWII?? im still on industrialization with Rockefeller and labor strikes n all....the civil war was an easy A for me (and i dont know that much about it) .....thank you history channel, but WWI and II are gonna be easy fo me.

the only final i did bad on was german (88% with the speaking, and the horible written) "ich kann nicht good deutsch speakin"- its probably cuz all i do is speak polish with my friend (gets every1 mad cuz they dunno what we're talkin about) all my other finals were pretty good (around the 91-93 area)

ya already WWII. Unfortunately we started after the Civil War. Kinda hard to teach a US history class when they dont even bother with the Revolution, War of 1812, Civil war, Mexican war, War for Texas independece. We skipped a hug gap that really founded our country. Maybe by doing this though, we will learn more about the cold war (a subject I find myself more into every day). We spent about a week on WWI too, because we were "behind".

I got an offer to be an American exchanged student to Germany. I think it would be pretty cool but I wouldln't really want to go to their schools even If I'm not getting a grade. I cant really speak german but hey, everybody there speaks english. I'm not going though, would be cool but it would be too wierd to live with another family you dont know.

 

anyways, not much progress around here lately. I started working on my Tamiya 1/35 Marder II. Almost done with construction on that.
