The In My Stash GB

Nice Mig-31 IL2. Well done on a hard build.

Had a look at the site Kenny, looks good - looking forward to seeing all the content in there.

i started a web site the other day and i am going to post all of the completed pics from our builds and try to build up a good site for us. i just registered it and messed around a little bit when i get some time i will work on it www.modelsinscale.com

Hey Kenny,

 I like the website.  Nice idea.  I'll definately check in there regularly (bookmarking it with my favorites as we speak).  One question - at this point, is it OK that I can only see Wing_nuts build?  I figured you just did not have time to post any others - but I wanted to be sure that there was not some sort of problem.

One final thing - I've been thinkin' (should have been buildin' instead, but what can you do...?) and I think I know what we need.  I think you need to talk to IL-2 and see if he can't set up one of those countdown clocks things - like what you might see over on ESPN.com counting down to the next big game or the ones they have before the election or the New Year.  It could give us the days, hours, minutes, and seconds that we have left to complete this GB.  For those of us who might be.... concerned... with such issues as time...  Maybe it could be a banner that sat atop each page of the post or something...  So every flippin' time we checked into the GB it would be there, reminding us, taunting us, haunting our dreams... or whatever...

That's what I think...

first off happy thanksgiving everyone hope you and your familys have a great one !

bb yes i only posted one pic so far just to mess around with it and see what size pics would be cool

i like the idea of the count down clock we have to ask sir IL how hard it would be to do

Probably not too hard.  I'll see what i can do and let you know.

Diggin' the website, Kenny. Thanks.
Let me know if you need any advice on web-building.

thanks sir IL it is a basic site free from microsift office i think if i want to do anything good i am gonna have to pay the monthly fee and not be cheap

well here are a few more update pics i am hoping to get some real paint on her this weekend

IL2, great job on the ICM kit. I agree with you that bad kits make better builders. Your finished product puts a Tamiya kit to shame. On the other hand I am building an Academy kit for another GB (Spitfire) and it is a great kit. If I was not such a slow builder it could have been a weekend kit. Very little seam filling.

Lord Kenny, I am trying my best to find a good mix of kits for the 15 to choose from. You make decisions soo hard. It was a no brainer when I could just have everyone else make the decision for me. Now I have to think for myself (OW !! my brain hurts!!) I will have many styles and sizes to choose from; vote early and vote often. (THUD) (THUD) (THUD)

Good progress with the ship that ate your son.

I think so.  I dry fit it when i 1st got it and saw the seams and whoomp, back into the stash

I think Revell has a 1/72 Mig-31.  It might be worth a look.

Then there is the 1/48 resin job from Collectaire.  ~$150 i think. 
Must be nice :)

a few update shots not done with the water line and bottom yet still alot of touching up to do but i figured i would post a few shots

Kenny Looking good your definetly moving it along.  Do you thing you'll make it just under the wire.

Cheers

Looking great, fearless leader!  You might actually pull this one out

Are you talkin' about the whole thing or just the hull!!!  I think I'm having big boat envy!

thanks arki i will get her done

razor i ment by next tuesday she will be totally finished but that is pushing it

Kenny, great looking progress on the ship, I've been watching this Gb for a while and great work all. I would have liked to see your wifes face when you pulled this one out of the stash. Where are you going to put it when finished.

More progess.  This bird is almost ready for paint.  I love this revell kit becasue there are 2 diff versions you can do and they give you 2 sets of canopies.  SO i'm using 1 set to paint so i don't have to mask the interiors.

I didn't like the kit decals so i'm making my own to this version:

Good looking build, Mist! 

At the moment Kenny may have the edge, but....isn't there a bunch of 1/350 aircraft that come with Enterprise kit?   I could be wrong, but if so I believe those would also have to be completed in order for our leader to be called "done."  he he.
