The In My Stash GB

B25 looks great, MPH34.  I'm glad we have a Mitchell in this build. 

Those TIE fighters will be sharp.  Reminds me of my TIEfighter gaming days! :)  Any plans for Diorama?  Check these CG models out:

Yikes, super quiet in this GB.  Hope I'm not the only one left.

I've stated before I'm waiting to start after I move in June, but this waiting is killing me.  I haven't built anything for a couple of months now, and I think I'm going through withdrawal. 

Someone has to be working on something!  Come on, post you slackers! 

Kenny,

Haven't seen your postings in awhile.  Enjoying this lovely humid weather?  Where you moving to? 

Yes, poor me

But hey, looks like others are still around! 

Hi All  I'm still here barely.  I have been working on my F-105 however this kit is a piece of JUNK.  I've been so frustrated with it I put it on the shelf for a bit.  I've been on vacation this past week so I took it down and continued where I left off.  I thought I had all the holes & gaps filled however when the primer went on low and behold I missed a couple of seam's so it's back to the putty & sand paper   This kit is truly a piece of junk Oh!!!! wait I might have mentioned that already never the lessthe building continues, I'll post some pics when I have something that resembles an aircraft.

To those that are moving good luck (been there, done that, you guy's can keep the T-shirt)

Cheers

Bear

I wish I could give you the t-shirt.  Man, I hate moving.  It's just a pain in the .  And it's putting a krimp in my build time. 

Bear, post some pictures of your progress when you get through the seam issues.  Don't give up the fight!  Remember the Alamo!

Arki  I'm glad you can't give me the T shirt very glad.  I've seen whay to many moving vans in my life brrrr.  As for giving up "I'm not dead yet"

Dave nice to see your still alive and kicking.

Cheers

Bear

Hear Ye, Hear Ye Major Announcement.

Let it be known throughout the air, land, and sea, that I Charles Anthony Gregory have begun the In My Stash  group build. I have started work on the Ryan Fireball. The office is complete needing only a wash and weathering. It was mostly resin and it was my first experience with the material. It is so much softer than I thought it would be. I am now working on the resin motor. (it will not be seen, so when I finish it I will post photos) The instructions advise adding scratch built rods, so that is what I am doing at present. One thing I dislike about the kit is the lack of locating pins. I am afraid this kit will be a quick build so I will have to wait til the end of the year to add the decals so I will be in the running for the turtle award.

great to hear you started TG

hey M1 no havent been around much lately till i get all set up all my modelling supplies and stash are packed and ready to go . i am moving to great kills staten island the only good thing about it is i will have my very own work shop instead of the kitchen table

...I'm not dead yet ...I feel happy ...

Feels like months since I last checked in.  I have made little progress on the Stormovik, and I still have not posted the pictures of the progress I have made ...  But, I am still here and slooooowwwwwlyyyyyyy working on my build...  I mean, hey, we have until December 31st at midnight, right?!

I am on full time outdoor summer mode, fellas.  It's so difficult for
me to sit downstairs at the model bench with wonderful weather in the air. 
I've been AWOL for weeks!

I took a quick shot of my projects, frozen in the cryo-boxes.

WOOHOO  I love that joyful feeling of starting a new project so I knwo how happy you are

I may have missed it, but has anyone thought up of a way to create a special web page(s) for all to submit their finished works to allow an easy place to view all of our work?  Kinda like a "Museum of the Royal Kingdom".    Admission charges picked up by the winner of the "Turtle Award"

I haven't had time yet to try the tissue, glue, and water suggestion for my rear gun mount on the B-25.  Should be able to this weekend....  Maybe I can get to my other vote getter (Mig-29 - German Special) in a few weeks.

I moonlight as a site admin for Finescalegallery.com, which is owned by another FSM Forum member. We have unlimited space and bandwidth. If everyone is agrees, I'd be happy to set up a folder for y'all (pardon my Southern) to upload your build pics and completed projects to. Please note that you will have to register as a User. Once I have the info I need I can assign permissions to "our" folder.

I'll be patiently awaiting your replies.

Yeah, awesome!

Maybe you can get FSM to publish a piece on our group build!
To encourage more readers to come join the online community!

That would be sweet!

I knew I should have clarified that (Sorry I didn't do it sooner. My ISP was down for 36 hrs. ).  The gallery is NOT affiliated with FineScaleMagazine. I had the same impression when RonUSMC approached me about site administration. C'est la vie. But, I don't have to live @ Photobucket anymore . Supersize me please .

However in the hope of a slim chance that I may redeem myself, I've created an InMyStash GB folder for the group. Just create an account and you can upload your photos thru the Upload folder on the Main Page. Until I get the permission thing figured out, I'll sort them and put 'em in the Group's folder manually. With permissions in place I hope to allow only In My Stash GB participants to upload directly to the folder. I'm a "hardware" guy (if I say "cable plant" I think Kenny will know what I mean) not a software guru (but RonUSMC shur is). Slowly I creep step by step, inch by inch... and then I pounce.

Just one thing, (you knew there was a catch) please, please add some kind of description (there is a seperate block for this) or @ least have the filename include your FSM Forum screename and model type (eg: Postman's Tiger I IMSGB photo1.jpg, Neckbone's Ham Samich IMSGB pic4.jpg, etc.), when you upload your photos. This simple act of kindness will ease my load considerably.

The Fireball, she's a commin'. The fuselage halves (without locating pins) went together like a good dream. Only a little putty around the stabilizers (?). The twenty-five cent piece size motor was 21 pieces and another 18 scratch built pushrods.On the web I found photos with the canopy interior green and also flat black and also sea blue What's a guy goona do with so many options?
