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

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!

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. (Ya I'm a slacker)

Im gettin an A in AP history. Its my easiest class,dont have to really study.  Algebra 2 though, some stuff is easy like dividing polynomials but then factoring polynomials,

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

More progress on my tasca luchs base. Added more grass and some more water. still more grass to add and some ripples in the water. Comments and criticism welcome.

My first and favorite pic.

and my crappy attemp at a photo chop, done on paint.

sorry about that. I havent updated the list in a long time. I never go back to the first post. I'll put you on it.

heres what I got with the badge. Hard to read "stupid Model" in the cloud.

thanks DJ!

Gringe, Sweet badge! I'll try to resize it on the program I have, its not to good though.

well, seeing as how we still dont have a badge for this GB, I figured Id tinker with it....

tell me what you think.  obviously they're a bit large.  if someone can effectively downsize them a bit to fit, thatd be great (paint isnt exactly top of the line pic editing).  otherwise i might have to do it, and i cant say what itll look like but it wont look good.  or if somebody comes up with anything better-looking post it up.  just giving some options for ya....

WOW REB THAT LOOKS SOOOO COOL!!!! the grass is lookin great!!

progress: COLE; stripped a lot of paint off the deck.....i just remembered that i just white out (strips) to fill the seams when i first built this.....i wanna go back in time and slap myself.... i finnished reglueing the railings on the second superstructure (the ones on the first one keep falling off when im working on them) im gonna have limited time to work on any models this week or next week becuz of semester exams....but after that i have a 5 day weekend!!!! yes!!!! ill probably be able to finnish the Cole by then..

-peace- DJ

hey guys, got some progress pics.

heres the luchs on the base. About 60% done. Needs some more tall grass and ripples in the creek.

and some scratches on the stug.

this pic came out weird and yellowie, not sure what happend

...so many ideas, so little time....

Nice Job Frogfoot!

Tanky, I think they should put that same anti rpg armor that they have of the strykers on blackhawks.

I have been working all week for a contest at the end of the month, just to find out the contest was postponed because it was at a Marine base and they just got orders to ship out to Iraq.

I have painted scratches on half of the stug (one side and the front) and I am almost done with the Luchs base. I decided to go with a tall grass field. Its taking longer but I am very happy with the results.

Guess that shows how outdated my book are I thought I saw that in Fine Scale one time for the review of the kit? Also shows how much History Channel I watch. edit here are two pics of the DINN back from the dead aka room of lost models.
