Excellent work

long build times are the best for those who like to get things done and for those of us looking for that prestigious  turtle award :)

Seems to be the right way. Next model on the list. Now if I can just get started on the first model on my list. Hopefully will finish some of my other projects and then I can get started. Thank you for long build timesSmile,Wink, & Grin [swg].

I'll agree with everyone else - next on the list would be reasonable. I can sympathize with you, Flipper, as far as the minesweeper is concerned. If it means that much to you, you ought to do it up right. - nuff said.

Well, Flipper, I would love to see the minesweeper, but if you just can't do it, then the next item on the list seems reasonable. 

I'll actually be taking a modeling hiatus here soon, as now I'll be moving at the end of June.  I'll finish up my current project already started, but I just don't want to move any more built, fragile models than I have to.  I'll still visit and post though. 

 

Building Now:

1/48 Academy Bf-109G6 - 100%

1/48 Tamiya F4U-1A - 5%

Upcoming:

1/48 Revell F-14D

Oh heck yeah, Flipper.
This is all about havin' fun!

If you build is gonna be a burden, then just pick
the next one down the list.

I actually got to put a little work on the Mig last night.
I'm working on quite a few projects in parallel, so often
it seems like NONE of them are getting done, but I think
every once in a while I make enough progress to be visible.

I'll post pics soon as my basement dries up! LOL.

hey eric sorry to hear about the rough times you are going through . hope all works out for you with what may be going on in your life now.

as far as the build i would love to really see the minesweeper no matter how long it takes you but if you feel that you can not build it how you want i understand that.

to keep with the spirit of the build i know the USS Hazard is special to you but unfortunately it is not one of you listed kits. your next highest voted on kit was 1:32 Trumpeter Me 262A-1a .

now it is up to the rest of us out there to let us know what they think .

Hello all, Its been a while since I have posted anything and there are some very strong reasons for that. I will not burden you with the details, but some very serious, difficult and painful situations have risen in my life. The Lindberg Minesweeper that was voted on for me to build by the memebers of this GB, well I had intended to highly detail it, and would not want to do it any other way. My dad took me to see the USS Hazard when I was a kid and I have very fond memories of that time and I want that this model capture and represent that. If ya'll can find it in your hearts to let me build something simpler, something OTB I would be greatful.

Thanks for your time,

Cheers Make a Toast [#toast],

Eric

PS. The Lindberg Minesweeper is a model of the Admirable class minesweeper, the USS Hazard is an Admirable class minesweeper. I was going to detail the model to represent the Hazard.

And I was so looking forward to hitting the model desk tonight.

Paul, hope you are feeling better soon.

Il2, I would have thought that the royal scribe job wouldn' be quite so onerous!  Lord Kenny, I think we need a Royal Decree restricting Il2's work hours to allow some modeling time. Wink [;)]

Progress on the 162 has been slow. I have to try to get as much done tonight as I can......another field rotation wah wah wah. Anyways, the fuselage is together, the wings and empenage are on, the gear wells are complete and installed. The base coat of grey is down I might throw some green on it tonight. I know these aircraft only saw a few months of service, but I plan on doing some light panel shading anyway. The quality and aplication process for paint in that time was substandard to say the least. We will see how she turns out. If I get anywhere tonight I will post some pictures..........Enjoy fellas, JOSH

But Kenny I see you are starting another project, slowing yourself down. Not that I blame you it's hard when you have all those ideas in your head and need to get them out.Big Smile [:D]

BTW It's a nice little vignette you have started in the diorama forum.
