Despair not, IL.  Despite all of the sanding and puttying and puttying and sanding, it's looking good.

Thanks for sharing that Dad moment  I almost fell off of my chair laughing - it really made my day! So far I have managed to keep my little ones away from the workbench and the fragile stuff, but now I think I will recheck things.

Cheers ,

Eric

hey eric great to see you thought you were lost havent had any bad jokes lately lol

as for the camera in water i know it would be bad and i wouldnt do it but a royal flogging would have crossed my mind if my little one did that. shame on the king .

i see some people want to be  punished with snickerdoodles . now how could a good king punish someone with what they want. off to the dungeons with creamed spinach for punishment i say :)

almost done with the hummer then onto two builds at once the cvn 65 and the 1/32 f-16 :)

Arki- 

The Ten Commandments contain 297 words. The Bill of Rights 463 words. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address has 266 words. A recent federal directive to regulate the price of cabbage contains 26,911 words. - Atlanta Journal Constitution

it's like the windbags get paid per word 

Hey Lord Kenny, saw this over on MM website thought you might like to have a look.  I believe it's the Nimitz but holy cow batman!!!  That is one heck of a project, my corvette is nothing compared to that.

Dan... nice looking chooper and IL, yours is looking good... and well sanded.

Still have 1 GB in front of this one but will be checking in to cacth on the mega posting.  At least it's under 2 pages a day now.

hhey dave thanks for the link that is an awsome looking ship i would love to do something like that but that would be huge. i think i am just going to make a custom base alittle wider than the ship and display here most likely no weathering make her look brand new ready to set sail for the first time.

tg i wouldnt think many people would like creamed spinach (i do love it) but peanut butter and bologna yuck i guess that will have to be the punishment with prune juice :) 

ahhhhh, those cherished memories of boy scouts... I still have fond memories(not) of this one camping trip to a scenic location that I'm sure was the secret headquarters for every mosquito in north america!

Seriously, I love watching everybodies builds go together.  Some of you are actually to the stage where it is recognizable.  I'm afraid it will be a while before mine looks like something.  So far, I have the basic frame together and I had to do some preliminary weathering because so much of it will show but I will not have good access to it.  Great work everybody and keep those pictures coming.  I should have some update pics this week end.

Are you going to make custom laser printer decals?  That could be tough over that darker green.

The yellow marking and the star of David look to be easy to make with carefull masking, for the numbers I was thinking of dry transfers, the only thing that bothers me is that small dark marking on the tail, it's too small to see what exactly it is on the picture, so, I'll guess I'll just look around in my spare decals map to find something remotely resembling this.  I'm not doing this build as a super detailed/ accurate project, it's just fun to do.

Not much has changed after these pictures have been taken, the only thing I did was closing up the belly, and fighting the carpet monster to get a couple of pe pieces back that fell off, only one is still missing.

Well i also have a drum set in my build room too, so i get serenaded frequently.  I never knew how much detail was on these B-25's  This build is gonna kill my eyes

NO!  Lawyers!   Just look at any legal contract.  First, the can't use simple sentence structure; and second they use words that I am not sure are real words.

Got several other projects off of the bench last night.  Hope to at least get the B-25 opened up and reviewed tonight.

you guys are slacking i left this morning we were on page 43 and i come home and still on page 43 was expecting to see us up to at least 46 lol

hope you are all to busy building and not working

I need your opinions.  First a look at the complete frame subassembly.  Still all kinds of stuff to go on this but not just yet.

Almost to the opinion part... I just thought I would show you this. Man, talk about visible pin marks!

Now the opinion part... Should I paint the interior of the cab a dirty greasy white or very light grey or should i paint it the same medium grey that the exterior will be?

I'm going to try real hard to make the roof removable so that you can see the cool stuff inside.  What cool stuff you ask?  Just so you have an idea how much detail will be inside, here is a pic of the real deal. (I really do not want to paint it black)

I would really like some suggestions.  I'm kinda leaning to the light greay.

Paul, I know you are not going for accuracy in terms of colour here but in my mind white just wouldn't look right as the dust from all the coal would make it look dirty pretty quick.  I agree with Lord Kenny and would go with the grey.

Paul,

I gotta jump on this bandwagon .  Greasy grey would seem to be the best choice (other than black, which, like our good Lord Kenny, I agree would cover too much detail).

I say gray too - the darker the better.  but not black.  That's a good call.
