Heya, fellas.
Sorry I've been awol for a while, but I have been checking in at least weekly to scan everyones photo updates. There are some neat builds this time around, and it's particulary awesome to see a few of you guys making even better models than last time. I guess a year worth of building can really teach you alot. I feel like I've learned more than I can remember.
Paul, you He162 looks fantabulous my man. It's such a neat little plane and yours will be a great model.
It's cool to see Bear's voodoo taking form. Gotta love the lines on that plane. I'm sure that's what some of you guys were thinking when you voted on it too!
Mist, the finish on your A10 is just going to be awesome. Looks way cool already.
Razor's weirdo Luftwaffe plane reminds me of the Millenium Falcon, LOL. Great work on the cockpit. I'm looking forward to seeing your completed model
BBrown, your warship is coming along right nicely. Are you planning a diorama or display stand of some type? Would also look good on the shelf as it is!
Also cool details by hkshooter. I particularly liked the light-modification on your Beaufighter.
Raptor, you're a mad-man!! I can't beleive how fast you are. Nuts, dude. B.T.W., I don't think I'm gonna make IMPSSLS this year - I got a family trip that weekend.
Results, your boat is jaw-dropping dramatic. Really beautiful work. I hope you'll give us some wide-angle shots when she's done so we can see how it all comes together when you look at it in one view. Seriously, it only takes a minor bit of imagination to see it dicing thorough waves in those photos.
Here's the B-58. I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel for all the re-shaping efforts. it's won't be long before I'm re-scribing panel lines and moving on to the component assmeblies (engines, mostly). The tail mod went fairly cleanly: i just cut the bottom 1/2" off, for the most part, then widenned the slot in the fuse and superglued it back in. I still have alot of work to do there though (shaping, adding detail).
