Ja, ja. Anyway, this resin conversion is HORRIBLE. But with supreme will power I will be able to use it. After I repair it, I'm probabaly going to get started scratchbuilding the interior. Then maybe get started on the running gear.

Tank, you did notice I said nothing about being off-topic. I just mentioned the profane topics and language that are against the rules. Looks like the moderators had to reinstitute the rules for those who follow them.

I live in a suburb. I kind alike it here, but some aspects I hate. Some are awesome though.

EDIT: on more thing. with a slight reformatting of my bus stop I can walk all the way home with the hot chic who lives down the street with me. Cool [8D] Damn, can't say that! Doesn't have to do with modeling. No please, Have mercy ry@n moderators!! LOL. just kidding of course, just kidding... Shy [8)]

So, I started cleaning up the resin pieces from the conversion yesterday. Using squadron white to ffill in numerouse mold imperfection, and then sanding it to shape.

ughh, its sick out here. When they build a new housing development they build every other house with the same blue prints. then paint them a slightly different color and there is literally not a tree in sight.

Got one side of my tracks done. Tommorow I will clean up some more tracks and get the other side ready. Hopefully I will be able to get the Eduard PE set soon! I can never get my mom to buy online, its a real challenge!

yeah, if you like house after house that has the exact same attributes, and windy roads with goofy names like "Appletree Height Rd." when its all built in what was an empty field in a flood plane

sorry tanky. i got a BSA thing goin on that sat. and the day after im goin to rocon. i know, rocon isnt much of a trade off for AMPS East, but ive never been there, so no loss. furthermore, its too far for me. id practically ahve to stay there overnight. if yer goin then good luck my friend!!

where i live in actually in a normal town neighborhood, not really a suburb. but were at the edge of the village, and out past us, theres only like two more smaller villages, and then nothing but farms or abandoned farms. its really pretty out there though, especially once you get out past geneseo, about an hour out, into the hills. i really love it there.

My fender is warped like mad. It was a pain to get to stay down. The only way to get the fender to stay down is these 4 little holes on something on the fender. It was so bad, and because its warped it doesnt stay against the hull, so now I have a gap there. And its Dragon too. psh

It doesnt ahve to be digital. you could always send prints in.
YG, added you to the list.

And just if you were wondering, were just going to do the same thing as the last 2 GB's and the beggining of the last topic. We cant just be pushed around like this. We have done the same thing for the past year in the old Group builds we had and nobody was offended. Doesnt anybody remember the communist argument we had?Wink [;)] but hey, we ended tha by simpley saying "lets stop this", we didnt need the admin to come in and delete us, and we said the pretty nasty things.
So don't be afraid that you're going to get the thread deleted by saying someting. Thumbs Up [tup]
