Military Veterans GB

Alrighty then.  Here's my beginning.  It's not much, but since i'm almost finished with my Jill, I'll be able to start hittinh this one more.  As you can see, I started with a black primer and then went over with a flat white primer.  Since this has raised panel lines, I'm hoping the black undercoat will help.  My next step will be the IP and cockpit.

hey mist glad to see you are underway :) thanks john i havent touched it for the past week been too busy. but this weekend the kid will be with his grandma nad i can get to work :) hope you are all doing well see you all soon

Bump

Would it be too late to get in on this build? I would like to build the 1/35 CH-47D. I am not sure if I can get some Big Windy decals.... but I'll damn sure try.

welcome josh definately not to late to join. hope you find the decals you are looking for.

hope you all are doing well i am still working on the base but things have been real slow around her hope to get some more done today and post some new pics. see you all soon .

well we have our newest member to the finescale clan 2 year old kenny jr. unfortunate for him he can only help when we use the elmers glue. but i am happy he has an intrest in modeling already and hopefully he will for a long time. well here are a few pics of what he has been up to on the gb. 

Never to young to get'um started.

Got my cockpit/cabin together and ready for painting, had to do a little filing and sanding to enclose areas that do not exist on the real OH-58, not a bad kit overall

Photo's are not the best, need to get my other camera back from my son, it's better for close-up photo's

hey john nice to see you are underway. you are exactly right never too young to get em started. hopefully he enjoys it as he grows up and he will have something to do to keep him out of trouble lol . just finishing up my base and back onto the hummer hope to see more from you all :)

the only thing i have to find for my hummer is a third figure which for some reason tamiya left out should be driver gunner and tc they only give two so i have to find one more if anyone knows of a modern g.i. in a sitting postion would be appreciated . 

Hey Kenny, Thats great that you have your kid to help ya on the build. Always nice to see new young modelers getting into the hobby. Good on ya man.

Got the fuseluge glued together, now have to clean them up, should take to long, in the background you can see the AH-1T I started also, needed something to help keep me busy while I wait for MRC to send me a replacement for a mis-molded half of the tailboom on my 58.

Hope everone has a good Veterans Day tomorrow, they are usually bitter-sweet for me(remembering friends no longer with us), so let's each of us raise a toast to them tomorrow.

John - been a long time!!!  I haven't been on much lately but good to see ya!

yeah it's all bittersweet at times but after it's all over I always realize how special of a fraternity I belong to... glad to have served with you, even if it was more than a decade apart... just had the veterans day thing at work, it kinda surprised me... it was nice to catch up with some shipmates I just met today... ironically it was as if we had known each other for a long time.. (you know what I mean) 

Carry on carrying on... and I'll be thinking about ya this Veterans Day...

BTW:  I havent built anything in a bit but seeing those choppers has me Jones'in to get that 1/48 Sea Knight and do it up right!  the '53 is too much for me right now as I am in a modeling block...

Talk to you later shipmate!  (honorary of course! )

Hey, just want to say happy veterans day out there to all you guy's that served and are serving and thanks for your service, and also to those out there who served their own countries.

Semper Fi.

Steve.

coming along nicely john i have to get some progress shots up soon.

again a happy veterans day to all!

Hi Tom and thanks, been wondering how you were. Have had that old block myself at times, you will get back in the hang of it again.

Things have changed for me(no more work), I retired because of my health problems, but now I can really try to reduce the size of my stash along with babysitting my grandadkids

Finally got some other builds out of the way and have settled on building an A-4F. It's a 1/32 Hasegawa of 70's vintage but still not to bad. It's also moving along quite fast by my standards. Have the front office finished and the fuselage and wings finished except for sanding, which will happen tonight  urrggghhhh. This bird will be a VC-12 scooter from the reserves stationed at Oceana in Va Beach Va. Here's some shots of the front office  and might have some more tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.

Steve
