The In My Stash GB

That's a cool looking Battle Tank there Frogfoot. 

What???  you guys don't talk to your plastic?  Go figure!  Everytime I walk into a hobby shop they're all begging me to take them home with me!

i always wondered why when walking down the aisles of the hobby shop i would hear a faint ,psssssssst over here over here. and then when i finally picked up the kit and bought it , it would all stop. i thought i was going crazy but now i know for sure that models do talk :)

I had that happen to me just tonight. I went in to my LHS to get some paint, and I heard the 'voice' not 30 seconds after I walked into the shop. It started quietly at first, but as I neared the shelves, the voice got louder.  Then, as I walked by it, it almost shouted at me.  Then again, the 3" red 50% sticker on the blue Revell of Germany box only made it even more noticible.  Mighty fine 1/48 European Fighter that was found.  I was so 'moved' by my experience that I almost forgot the reason I went in the shop to begin with.  Funny thing, I think I heard singing as I walked out to my truck to go home.......  and I can't sing..........

lol hurry quick you better get that box to American Idol i bet it sings better than all the kids on that show :)

hey guys well i finished up my Military Veterans GB /forums/753736/ShowPost.aspx#753736 . now the question is do i battle the rest of you for the turtle (procrastination award) and finish up my F16 build which i am wy past the deadline on or start this which we have a few months to go on:)

both models are yelling at me the last time i heard them talk was when i got them now they both seem very angry. what to do what to do ?

kenny

Well, Kenny, I'm a deadline-oriented kind of guy, so if it was me and I was late on one build but not on the other, I'd knock out the late build.  But that's just me and my

I imagine given the size of the 'E', you don't have room to work on both?

i was thinking of doing both arki but the F16 is the tamiya 1/32 scale CJ block 50 which is pretty big in itself but you never know may try to do both :)

kenny

ps i am upset i missed the deadline but i will complete the build.

Wow it got really quiet around here hope you are all doing well :)

My turret is almost done     I had to do some surgery though, and my references were few.....       I'll keep away from the suspension for now, as it drives me nuts!!!

Still gotta figure something for the fitting of the rear panel.........

Thanks Dave and wing_nut for the comments on the Abrams

Waiting for a set of decals for my Abrams. So the tank is on hold for a time.

just checking to see if you are all okay usually this thread has a few messages.

i know you are okay though gun

The humanity! The horror!  We're on page 2

I believe this calls for a timely

*bump*

Whew. 

No need to thank me.  I'm just doing what any good citizen would do.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.  

Had the flu which turned to pnemonia so i was out of it for the past week.  Still kinda sick so i'm staying aqay from the fumes for a bit longer.  Should start on the B-25 in earnest this weekend

Found you!

Weathering, weathering, weathering!!!!   too many rivits.... too many seams... too many parts!!!

(picture me running around in circles, arms extended above head, screaming incoherently)  

I work and work and it just does not look like i'm getting anywhere.   I'll get there someday

gun you are good at this game.

dont worry results you still have 9 months to complete the build i havent even started yet :(

kenny

Hiya guys. the Tamiya kit is amazing and I am still slapping myself for even thinking about giving it back.

I guess tamiya wanted to cut a few corners and save money on tooling by molding slots and holes for motorized gear into the bottom... I was hoping I could stay away from the filler this build... That also leaves some gaps where the bottom and top hull halves join.

I was thinking about doing a camo, but now I am leaning more towards just armor sand, because this is my first serious 1/35 armor. last one was Academy M-36 assembled with tubeglue... *scalps self at the thought of ruining such a good kit*

pics will come as soon as I find two blammed AA batteries that work

Hey guys, I don't think I've been here for about a month. Eek. Before starting my IMS build, I decided to get everything else off my workbench.

The first thing I have is the RM F-106. I'm so close to finishing this. Sadly, the kit is so awful that after the final painting, the 2 seams where the top and bottom fuselage halves meet cracked. I decided not to fix it because I would most likely smash the darned thing rather than doing any good. I've got most of the decalling done with just a bit left.

After that I've got 2 more small kits to put to rest (too badly built to put much more detailing time into) and then I can start my Humvee!!!

Same here, I've got the monogram P-61 that has been giving me problems. Hopefully I will finish it soon. After that I've got the tamiya Porsche 911GT to finish. I plan to do some building on my schnellboot soon. But my compliments to the good job that everyone is doing.

i see we are all battling it out for the turtle award :)
