Went out today at lunch to get some new fine tipped brushes and of course saw the bargain bin and had to, just HAD to pick up a Revell 1/48 P-38 for $4.00.  THe wife's gonna kill me

How could she get mad???  I bet your lunch cost more than the model.  Just cannot pass up a good deal

Dave Glad to hear your having a good time and adding to the stash while your at it, that's my kind of visit.  Next time I'm down to see my Bro I'll have to check out that shop in west Van sounds very interesting Take care.

Cheers

Check out this profile comparison for my B-58 kit:

Not too bad, really.  Just the tail and the nose.

not too bad at all IL

i did some research into the dragon leopold found out there are a few mistakes in the directions if i didnt find that i would have messed up the model.

and after a little more research i found out the trumpy kit is alot more detailed than the dragon but that isnt to big of a deal.

the big deal is after seeing some completed models how hugethe thing is by the weekend i will be starting this monster i hope.

It blows my mind after 16 votes we still have 3 ties.  Unbelievable.  Well, at least 2 of them were resolved. 

Kenny, I think you said early you'd run the tie-breaker vote till midnight tonight.  I say stick with that and then toss the coin.  Let's end this and move on with the build!

Heck, the nose isn't really even that noticeable.  The tail on the other hand....

The coin flip works for me. I'm stoked to build either one of those kits! Also starting to feel a little self-conscious about holding up the start of the build.

let's just get on with it!!!!!!!

page one is now updated after the coin flip all kits are now up and available to be built :)

happy new year everyone !

well once the big e is done here is what is next and the wife is not happy lol

now the comparison shots of the big e and the leopold

so another huge build for me guys :)

Oh man, she is so going to kill you.  And us for voting for it.   I hope you have some big plans to take her out, buy a spa trip, something to mollify her!  Where are you going to put it, that's what I wonder?  This will be fun to watch come together.

Even though I don't know when I'll be able to start on mine, here are pics of what I'll be tackling.  It's definitely not OOB.

True Details wheels

Eduard mask

Ultracast mud guards

Aires wheel bays

Ultracast exhausts

Ultracast seats

Ultracast access door

Aires bomb bay

Ultracast tail wheel

I'm really looking forward to diving into this

that looks sweet arki cant wait to see that being built

as for where these two monsters are gonna go i have no idea i am trying to get the wife to give me more space for another display case upstairs if not i will have to cram a display case downstairs in the shop

Looks like some very ambitious projects ahead for this GB. That railroad gun looks daunting Kenny, and arki, I really like Ultracast's stuff.

As for mine, I'm quite happy with the results of the coin toss (and I think I can safely lay claim to the kit with the fewest parts in this GB ). Been wanting to build this 'monster' for quite some time. I purchased it almost 3 years ago, and it's no longer available, so I'll be taking my time with it. Looks like I'll be using a combination of Alclad II, MM enamels, Vallejo acrylics, artist oils, and pastels to get the effect I want. Still tossing around some ideas for the base, but I'm leaning towards using a similar scale 'Alien' head I have in my stash as part of it.

Love Ultracast.  As much as I buy from them I'd expect to have part ownership by now, but alas, no.

Arki  Love all that AM stuff you've got for the mossie.  It's going to look great.

Got a start on the Voodoo, I'd forgotten how bare bones the Matchbox kits are.  Now I have to find some referance material on the Voodoo, went through all my books and info on the F-101 is seriously lacking especialy in the cockpit.  Looks like I'll be out book shopping tomorrow will post pics when the camera batteries are recharged

Need to paint now, but gotta get a spare part for my airbrush so she's going back in the box for a few days. I'll post what I've done later tonight.
