I agree Aaron!!!!!!

Hello Chaps!

I hope I find you all happy and well-some nice build progress going on here. I've had a hard week on duty so I'm taking easy today, hope all of you have a great weekend!

CHEERS!

I hope you fellas do not mind if I mention this here...

Today, we had our local model show which was also the #5 Regionals.  I won two first places, in 1/48 Axis aircraft and 1/48 Biplane.  I am very happy, did not expect to win anything!  I also bought four grand prize drawing raffle tickets for the big kits, and all four of them won!   I picked out a 1/48 Academy F-22 Raptor, 1/32 Academy F-16, 1/32 Trumpeter SU-27, and I gave the fourth ticket to a little boy as I felt guilty winning so much.  A very happy day indeed, the rum's on me fellas!

A Big Congratulation's to you Frank -   I am not surprised at all. You are a True Modeling Craftsman.

Perhaps you should out and buy a couple of Lotto Tickets...

Bravo XO, Bravo and a fine thing. Hope you pressganged the little bastard; LtCmr Nam needs a wipe down on the chin! Men let's raise one for the fine work by one of our own!!

 WOW !  Great work!  I hope some of those other fellows were there to eat crow!  Amazing work finally gets you a bit of the recognition you deserve!  Don't get a big head though that Ventura looms in the darkness ! LOL!

 Great job on the raffles!  All the jet age stuff are you branching out in your intrest?

 Nice job on the raffles and nice of you to share the wealth! Of course had I been there I would have pushed the kid down and ran off with the goods!

Concrats to you Frank! Well earned and very deserved recognition!  I take it no Corsairs were harmed during this production?  

Holy cow did we recognize FRank's 9000 post!  That is a lot of model talk!

 Congrats again!  Roll out the barrel! We'll have a barrel of fun!

 Hmmm since Nam and Spike been absent we seem to have plenty of rum now? Go figure!

Frank,

very well done indeed old chap! I am so happy that your talent has had the recognition it surely deserves.

Very nice loot you landed there too! I'll look forward to seeing what you do with those kits!

Also, congratulations on your 9,000th post! Well done!

CONGRATULATIONS FRANK!

CHEERS!

Sheesch that is a lot of Model Talk and Prop Spinners being posted. Frank I hope the Brass at FSM was Patting you on the Back for being one of the Good Guy's here on the Forum..

MORE RUM!!!

Thank you very much fellas!  You guys here the best I have had the privilege of building with.  I am very happy I could share this with you all.  Hard to believe I had any time to build with all of those posts, eh? LOL

Aaron- One fellow brought along 16 Corsairs for the show, can you believe it?  I tried to find him to ask about them but could never run him down.  They were all done excedingly well, and truly deserved awards IMHO.

Darren- Thank you very much old bean!  You are WAY too kind.

Sean- When I introduced myself to Aaron Skinner by name (Frank), He said" Ahhh... Daywalker" not sure if that was good, or bad? LOL

Cheers!

Congratulations Frank, well done

 I introduced myself once too Frank?  They said AAAAHHHH!! SFCMAC! and ran away screaming!

Congrats Frank! Tango 1, I was wondering if I could hop on in in the last 2 months of this thing. I kinda missed it... I have a 1/48th Revell Corsair that I've been wanting to build for a while now. Mind if I do a rather short OOB build? Thanks.

 Graham

Graham, it would be fantastic if you could join the group.  As long as you get your school work done

Great to have you aboard.

Ok. Count me in. The school work will go on... Actually, I have a break from Latin class this week (Angels in chorus sing) so I can get caught up. This GB seemed too good to miss, so I'll stretch myself a little.

Oh, BTW, you'll have to make provisions for the junior! No rum for me... lol. Is it okay if I drink root beer?

Frank,

Well done and congratulations.

Graham,

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water:  Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris Italiam.  Welcome aboard!  (How big a nerd was I in HS? Not too big, but I took 4 years of Latin and was the Latin/Greek Lit person on our Latin Team.)

Aaron- I wanted to ask you yesterday how your fangs were, but didn't get the chance.  How are you doing?

Ack! Thanks CPT Bondo!  That was a lot how it went today!  Truth be told it wasn't as bad as I feared today!  When I arrived they immediately had me sign all those consent forms for further extractions. I was like jeeze what am I going to eat with? Well It was a mistake as they were looking at last visit. They were able to repair much of the damage as they were broken and not decayed so I had some major reconstruction but with no Extractions or root canals.  Yippie. Made me a little sore but I am over it already so much better! Much cheaper than $2000 a tooth as well!  More to spend on scale plastic rather than descaling!  ICK! 

 Thanks for asking I will recommend this Crest Nightime health Mouth wash. Much better than the day stuff taste wise and it works! Really give it credit for a lot of the speedy healing in my old jawbones!

 You know Bondo?  When I look closer at that pic it does look like one of FRank,s contraptions and get ups doesn't it? Maybe he missed his calling?

Actually it was closer to this?
