LOL  I love it...great work on the trophy.  Thanks very much for the award.  I have a couple of other thing I want to work on but may have a look and what the #2 vote was for.

Hey wing no problem if you have other models to do . you are very welcome to either build your number two or wait for the vote again or pop back in when you are ready to build your number two kit.

just glad you are on board and hopeyou stick around with us :)

Well earned trophy there wing_nut.  You did a great job on the detail of the landing gear bays & doors.  Your paint job is a very nice "bar" for me to aim for. 

Hey kenny, do you have a tortise or snail trophy for the last person to complete their build?  I fear that I might be in contention for it.......

I have got to get myself set up with a spray booth or I may never get anything completed.  Everytime I think I am ready to build myself one, something comes along to steal the $$$ that I had saved for it.

there are a bumch of us in the running for those awards MPH including me lol.

if it is out there i will find it and make it :)

kenny

Great work on the 262 WingNut! I really like the details and the paint is great.  And indeed, you are one speedy builder.  I'm afraid that my loco may take longer than I thought.  I work and work and think i'm just rippin' though it then i step back and look and holy cow!  Of course the PE details adds lots of parts.  For example, 1 part # f33 add a few PE parts... 29 to be exact!  1 part to 30 and there are 2 of them!

1 part...

POOF 

30 parts 

 Here is a mock up.  Main sub-assemblies are not glued.

The boiler fit was pretty good but left gaps in the worst places possible- the top!  Because the boiler has rivets and panel seams, I did not want to Putty it up to much so a little wire and no more seams

I've decided to leave the roof of the cab removeable because i want to show of the inside of the cab and because the inside roof detail is just cool.

I love seeing everybodys pics.  Keep up the great work! 

Congrates, Marc & nice work!! Paul, that locomotive is lookin' sharp!

Kenny, since I get a vote also, it would be for the two T.I.E. fighters. Sci-Fi doesn't seem to be represented much here!

wow the locomotive looks incredible i really love how the wood came out looks totally real.

Wiccan you get to vote on 3 of your kits ,private message me your 3 votes and i will add them up . So you can get into the build whatever votes i have for you by 12 noon tomorrow will be what you build . i am sure you are eager to get things going :)

kenny

kenny

Hey everyone... thansk so much for the kind words about the Schwalbe.

And I didn't realize that I was the first to finish.

 Results.... that locomotive is really looking terrific.  Ya gotta give up the Camels though.  (Ain't us reformed smokers they worst)

Just quick note to let everyone know that I've voted albeit late. I did pick the Death Star tho...

Excellent work on the locomotoive  - can't wait to see more.

I've begun work on the Tiger I. I'm still test fitting to see exactly how much of the interior will be visible (or how much scratchbuilding do I want to do). I have a rather large pile of sub-assemblies on the bench. Needless to say the fit is not the best and I'm glad that I've got a new tube of putty. I 've done a ton of research for another Tiger build and will probably mark this one up as one of the Aces from the 101st sSS Panzer Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler. I'll post photos when I got some interior paint laid down and the engine and trans installed.

its ok postman i will tally your vote into the others :)

So which one of us is gonna grab that trophy? Just when i think i'll have time....BAM  Honey-do's out the .  I swear i'm gonna put a lock on my door. My B-25 is just sitting there looking at me sadly.  It wants more than just the OD paint on it.  SHe tells me she feels naked.  Oh, did i type that?!  No, really.  My builds do NOT talk to me...  Move along, nothing to see here

kenny

Sorry for my absence been really busy past few weeks. But here are a few pics of my Abrams painted with some weathering.

The Abrams is on hold right now. Because I messed up one of the unit markings  and a need a replacement. But I should be able to fix it with a little work I hope

looking good frog nice progress :)

kenny

Lord Kenny,

 Will the turtle award go to the last person to actually finish a build (provided it is by the deadline) OR will it go to the person who took the longest from start to finish.  If it is the latter, than I would like to go down on record as having started my build (at least in my head - what was that about plastic talking...) 1 second after the voting totals were posted in January...  Yeah, that's it, 1 second....  And it'll be done 1 second before... uhhh, wait, I'm gettin' a little ahead of m'self....

boyd i see we are all looking foward to that turtle award i guess it would be the last procrastinator to finish there build unfortunately you have me beat i was thinking about building 2.5 seconds after the vote i guess i dont get the turtle lol

kenny

Thanks Kenny and arki30!

I ordered some replacement decals for the kit. So I should have them soon I hope
