The In My Stash GB

A little progress is some progress, NucMedTech

Hey, Kenny, what's the update on the big 'E'?  That's a build I want to see come together!

All was quiet on the western front....

And in this thread!

Bueller?  Bueller?

Josh can you ever get the smell of the field out

Cheers

Bear

The smell never leaves any of us, nor does the soldier in any of us. I am gonna go play in the sandbox soon...... that kinda smell doesn't wash off. Below is a picture of the reason why nothing got done on the 162 this weekend. She loves Baron Von Richtofen.............Cheers fellas, everyday is a gift. JOSH

Hey HOOK DRIVER,

Cute kid...  She sure looks like a heartbreaker - does she have you as wrapped around her little finger as my daughter (almost 2) has with me? 

Good luck to you when you head over to the ol' sandbox.  Any idea where you'll be based out of? 

Wow, sure is quiet over on this side of town.  No posts in two days .  What is everyone up to?  I noticed that Wing-nut was over in the armor forum, getting everyone all riled up over there.  I guess when you crank out your build in such rapid fashion, you have the luxury of doing that .

I, for my part, have an announcment: despite the arrival of the new baby, despite the demands of daily life in the work-a-day world, despite all other distraction, I have actually begun work on the Stormovik... 

"Please, please, don't panic, no reason - wait, just remain calm... Return to your homes, nothing to see here....  Had this been a real emergency...  The president and vice president have been moved to a secure location..." 

Anyways, I haven't gotten a lot done - just a little prep painting and some construction of the cockpit, but hey, a little is better than none.  Hope to have some pics up soon.

Kenny, I guess you can take me out of the running for the turtle award

Okay fellas two more days working job no.2 at the BIG GREEN SQUARE tax prep firm and I can devote another 20hrs per week modeling. I took official Inventory of my kits (unbuilt/not started only) in what little free time I had.

So I will be ready for the next vote for 2008. I am making progress on my F-106 For another GB and the end is in sight.I have glued the upper and lower fuselage together and just finished filling all the seams. (gotta love Revellogram kits, I know putty vendors do) I couldn't get my missles white enough so I used oil paint for the white. Does anyone have an idea how long it will take to dry? I've broken the missle bay holders off so I may be in a tight spot getting them back on. It should be complete by May Then............ The FireBall . Everyone is doing great work on there kits. Boyd.... Great job on the AccurateMiniture Human VERY good looking and animated to boot.  Kenny, good luck with the move,but you should definately try to complete you build before the date (pulls head into shell), I know everyone else would.

impressive stash tg another one with his own hobby shop lol

i will be done with her before the deadline just havent started yet dont want to have something bad happen in a move :(

Well, I have gotten the B-25G to this stage.  It is built OOB, with only the "Little Joe" decal coming from the decal box.  I am not sure what I want to do with the tail gunner's end.  I know I need some more clean-up on the windows, but what about the tail area where the guns come out?  Ideas anyone?  After I get some of the other group builds out of the way, I may go after the 'runner up' as voted by the voters; 1:72 Hasegawa Mig-29 'German Special'

Well, I don't have anything to report on my Stormovik, but I did want to share a build with you guys that I am particularly proud of.  This is one of those builds that just seems to go flawlessly.  When I started it, I figured it should take about 40 weeks, start to finish, based on my experience with this type of thing.  And, don't you know, on the 40th week to the day, BAM, it was done.  It's a heavy sucker too - 9 lbs 3 ozs...  Gotta rig up a special display case for it or something.  I think my only concern is the paint job.  I'm just not certain I am satisfied with the weathering.  It looks better in the second photo, but that one highlights the position problems I'm facing - what story am I trying to tell...?  It seems very confusing to me, but still, I am very pleased with how it all came out.  I'd be interested in all of your comments.

I am very impressed with the hair that you were able to get on the front of the head.  Looks like you have a might fine addition to your collection!  Congrats to you and your family.  You might want to make sure you put enough air holes into the display case though!

mph34 - I was searching thru the reference photos we have @ www.finescalegallery.com and found this one of a B-25J. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the photo.  It is much like my other sources as well.  My question is, "How do I model that?"

i would say like doing a canvas top using tissue paper and white glue would be your best bet

I'll agree with Kenny  -White Glue, Water and tissue paper. I use it for canvas gun mantle covers on my tanks all the time - works like a charm.

Great job, everyone! Sorry I haven't been able to check in much - the "slavedrivers" at work have been cracking the whip hard! Anyway, nearly done with the Dual Tie Fighters. A few pics:

Hope everyone's havin' fun!
