Hey Dupes do you take your kits to JC Penny's family portrait studio and if so how much do they charge. Nice pics!!

If by JC Penny's you mean my workbench, then yes, yes I do.

Actually, all I have is a small, very portable light tent I made out of a cardboard box, some tissue paper (for diffusion), and different colored construction paper for the backgrounds. Two standard light fixtures - the same ones I use on my bench. Cost me about 85 cents to put together...can take pics of the setup if you'd like. While re-sizing my pics to 800x600 in photoshop, I also hit them with a quick sharpening filter (2 clicks, baby) which cleans up any blur fairly well. That's it!

BTW, the one about the kid's allowance was the best.

Almost hit page 2!

Thank you Arki.

I really am making progress (no camera) I gave the engine an oil wash last night and will dry brush highlights this weekend. The cockpit is moving along slowly. I removed the molded air hose and replaced it with a low E guitar string, put the pilot together and gave him a coat of Mr Surfacer 500. Will give him a basecoat soon. The seat is totally inaccurate but I think I will let it go since I plan to use the pilot. Working on little things here and there to have something to do while waiting on other things to cure.

Will post as soon as possible.

Finished up that "other" build, should be able to get back on the MiG now.

But still nice.

Just thought I would post some pics cuz it's been a while.  The deck houses are still just dry fit.  Looks like actually attachng the deck to the hull will be almost the last thing I do.

Nice tank Dupes! Very nice winter weathering!

Paul, looking very good so far!

Cheers,

Azgaron

Hey Tony!  No pics, no progress!!!  Isn't that what you said to Lord Kenny??

lol i think you are right mist

Mr. Mist, that convesation was between A and B and you should C your way out of it.

But seriously, I have been properly and deservedly chastised.

 I am making no progress at all, at least til I can get the camera to work.

 Thank you for the reminder Mist.

 LOL - nice one, Ark

That low-vis gray is cool.  Looking forward to your decals.

OK you guys you can put me in with TG. My computor crashed a few weeks ago and just got the new one up and running. I cant get my camera and computor to work with each other. They just wont play nice with each other. Cant find the programme disk. I will try to download it though. In the mean time I have started the Stormovik and hope to have the front office finished soon. I am taking pics so I will post when I can. I know what you guy's are going to say so let me have it.

Uh, I can't take credit for that quote.  At least I think you're referring to me.  

Doh!

I always do that

Steve, I think we should move to a leper colony til we get our cameras to play nice.
