I was scribing the lines today and the farking metal ruler slipped and there is a panel line in my thumb now. damn, that hurt. especially cos I'm using the sharp end of a compass... There was a thread on here, just this week that was deleted, about panel lines. It was talking about how exaggerated they are. I tend to agree. I work directly across from Pearson (Toronto) airport, and live just on the other side. When I see the planes take-off and land, I dont really see the lines. So jinithith, what i am trying to say is, save time and follow smokinguns3's lead and don't. Although, you can now say you put your blood and sweat into it.

I build to please my eyes, and I already posted in that one thread that was deleted that "good model standards" are not the "most reallistic standards", which means that ppl at model shows grumble about others' models with no gaping panel lines on it. I'm just trying a new thing. this is the first time I'm rescribing something.

cheers

WELL in an attempt to lighten up the modd here after my little slip of the tongue (or the fingers I should say.) I decided to use a ton of smileys and get off topic for a while.

yes Supra I was about to say that the project now has my blood and sweat in it

how is everyone's build going? I hope everyone is ok as to not curse (I'm sorry, I just came back from a horrible hockey game at 6 in the morning that our team lost... I'm in a generally foul mood, and that one post set me off. my grudge ends HERE)

You are not supposed to curse in this forum. Please mind your manners.  Real men don't cry just because they spilled a little blood on the table.  You can use it for dull red paint.  At least it is cheap. Grandma L But Grandma, It may not mix well with the final coat of Future and craze the finish, and if dont like the look can use soda water to take it off?????  Wait... I can use it to paint blood spatters on the canopy and cockpit panels then add bullit holes to pilot and around the canopy. Wow! What realism that would be!!!! Air Master

except blood turns like crusty brownish black when dry

jin it's not the city. it's the suburbs. i think hudson paid to get a giant heater for the entire town. i have to have my AC on!!!!

well at least the sun is deyellowing my 18 year old decals for the F-16 I was worried that the winter weather would block out the sun and I'd have to wait till spring, but nah.

ok, we've had a sudden spark due partly in fault by me. I deleted/editted the problematic posts, and I ask Grandma L do the same thing as well. This is my GB and I don't want an argument starting (sorry if I sounded a little like Hitler or Stalin) and getting deleted.

I resent Grandma L insinuating that I am a sissy though. I'll make that clear. I didn't cry, I just gave a news flash on the update. and my blood is not worthless (you implied that my blood is cheap/worthless. no drop of blood is cheap.)

End of discussion

so, how 'bout we talk about something a little more light... like ponies and unicorns for example?

look at how cute it is! 

*vomits all over computer screen*

if the girl was hot, then maybe, but thats not hot.

*vomits once again on computer screen*

Jin, Grandma was kidding with you just as I was. I am pretty sure she was not calling you a sissy and I was only kidding about the blood comment. I really do not think she was calling you cheap or worthless, just an attempt at humor you didnt get. 

Air Master

but... but....how....wha... *shoots self*

if you intended it as a joke, then I'm terribly sorry!!!!

So hows everyone doing, good i hope and no more injurys? So this what i have got done not much, I sanded down the seams on the bow and tern and abliterated the weld seams i was going to try the idea i seen on another forum but i couldnt find 1/64" pinstripe type so i tryed something ive never done but have heard of i took streached sprue and taped it to the areas that needed to be replaced and applyed pro weld to them all i have to say is iam not affraid of sanding raised panels any more and i'll let you be the judge.

man that Gato is huge!!!  From what I read that kit when finished is something like 52 inches long!!!  Yours is looking pretty good.  Looks like you are off to a good start.

I have opened the box on my B-25J, found the date on the sprues to be 1977 ( luckly I did not have the urge to empty my stomach into the box)!  I have ordered the PE sets for the J and the bomb bay, since I found a 1 dimentional fire extingusher molded into the right fusalage half.  I'll have to take a pic of it before I get rid of all the molded in stuff so that you guys can get a good laugh in as well.

This GB has really taken off, I am digging it!!

Matt

Oh, and it looks like you forgot the forward vent in the bow. From the pics it is hard to say.

DUDE.

Nobody ever notices when I say I'm in. I'm around page 10.

Argh.

It's all one word. MontanaCowboy. Get it straight.

Now he'll never add me....

[sob] 

JINITHITH2

Please change my entry from F-4 to A-10.

 I've got an idea for Our GB. So many builders are near finished with their aircraft, That we could ask the guys who designed the badges to modify them with a little 2 in one of the corners, for second builds, Up thru 5 for Monogram Revell GB Ace builder. When you finish your first build you change your badge for the 2 and so on until you get to Ace.

I'm still not on tha list.

Jinithith2, this is you

It is also coWboy, not coYboy

I really need to get it straight

I think that's a good idea with the badges. maybe we should also make a 1/2 one

i'm working on the A-10 too, brookss. it's pretty cool. can you tell me what that giant slot on the bottom middle of the fuselage (about 2.3 centimeters long) is?
