The In My Stash GB

snowing and a brisk 28degrees in sunny Highland IN 20 mi southeast of Chicago.

WHO DAT SAY GWANNA BEAT DEM BEARS? WHO DAT?!

Nuc- I'm here in central TX also and we are having ice!  Which I'm cool with (pardon the pun )  As long as we don't loose power I'm good.  Because you know here in central TX when the thermometer plunges down below 50 the news calls it an "artic blast".  And you know, those very same news people are telling me not to go out unless it's absolutely nessasary.  I have beer, coffee and plenty of paint and glue so... I'm good.   So it looks like another day of not going to work because of the "arctic blast!   Darn, I guess I'll just have to stay home and build.

Kenny- I bet you're right... the equator is moving.... OH NO!!!! Were all DOOMED! 

Shoot Razor, another 15F cooler and I'll have to wear a t-shirt. Them rebs don't know much about weather, do they?

Well this am it is an invigorating -5 in eastern Iowa.  My modeling room was @ 52.  time to go to home depot and get me a space heater!!!!  Remember guys, it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

anti-freeze ??? What's that???

Usually Crown Royal or Jack Daniels And when that freezes, it's cold!!!!

Currently it's a bracing 9 degrees in the BC Interior. It's supposed to make it into the 30s sometime late next week. 

Since I have to do my spray painting in the shed, whithout heating, my spray painting is over until this cold snap has passed. Tried to spray some future a few days ago - it froze as it hit the model. A very interesting, almost sci-fi effect, at the time. Now I am wondering, how the am I going to fix that?

Still waiting for my supplies to arrive to make a start on the Ta-154. Just so you guys know I am actually doing something while I wait, here's a pic of a CF-100 mkV I am currently working on. It now has it's wings and pre-shading done and is waiting for the temperature here to rise a bit so I can paint it. Also got an old Airfix Bristol Belvedere that I am slowly beating into submission for another GB as well. I think I am using filler to hold it together rather than glue!

If that stuff freezes, you are long past caring....

Personally, I think we'd better get used to this volatile winter weather.
Global Climate Change is upon us.  The planet is in a state of flux.

i must say this has to be the best build ever (but since it is ours i am bias) not only do we model we have fun with everything else under the sun .... wait no sun until spring sorry about that guys.

good thing this build is a year long with all the crazy weather and tough building conditions i bet non modellers wouldnt believe weather could hold up our hobby yet it does.

now about those three digit temps i actually prefer the heat to the cold . especially climbing poles in the summer and watching the sites from about 20ft in the air the only thing is the humidity and how heavy the air feels in the summer in NYC but hey it is better than shivering with freezing rain slapping you in the face

almost done with my hummer for my other GB and the big old cvn-65 will be started soon

paul nice start to your build sorry to hear about the future problem

I am gone for a few days and all these pages to read. Great work everyone on the builds!

I got some major work done on my Abrams. This is the Marines version, it is still a long way from being one.

In Indiana we also have four seasons during the year.

1. It's cold

2. It's still cold

3. It's hot

4. road construction

Here is what I have to work with  http://groups.msn.com/EricsModelAirplanes/lindbergminesweeperparts.msnw                          - this thing is going to take all year to get any good looking detail on it. Nobody makes any am for this scale except for a couple of guns. I guess it a chance to hone my scratch building. Be patient ya'll, God knows I am going to have to be.

Cheers ,

Eric

That abrams looks SWEET!  Can't wait to see it with paint.

Scratch-building is easy, flippersdad.
Time-consuming, but easy.  Got styrene sheets?
How big will that Minesweeper be when it's done?

We have 3 big ships in this build!  COOL
