SCI-FI - Scratchbuilt Starfighters group build

QUOTE: Originally posted by stipp Well, there really isnt anything wrong with using startrek parts, I used the neck from the klingon cruiser for the kitbash! I used the cockpit from the 1999 eagle and filled in most of the lines and the other two indentations on the bottom. Now, I give up, where do i get the scifi badge to place in my signiture?

QUOTE: Originally posted by stipp Well, lets see if this works! nope, i guess not i reckon im doing something wrong here. i still caint get that durn signiture right.

I always work at night Its a lot easier at times to get anything accomplished during the day with the kids at school. And sometrimes I take stuff to work on during my lunchbreaks cause nobody bothers me. [img]http://members.fcc.net/ice9/badge.jpg Reply Woody Member since December 2002 From: Third rock from the sun. Posted by Woody on Sunday, April 11, 2004 12:38 AM Went to snap a couple progress pics and the digital cameras batteries are dead! Not a AA in the house! I'll try again on Monday.

I have 2 of the an older FujiFilm 1 megapixel , and a Cannon A-10 Powershot thats 1.5 megapixels , both are outdated but todays standards but they both work and the Powershot takes real good pictures of models up close , however just to give you a little helpful addvice , buy a good battery recharger and 3 packs of the batteries you'll be using , rechargables have come along way and depending how much you use it can last up to a month before needing a charge, you might be asking why 3 packs then ...., well keep your others chaged until you need them , I use NiMH batteries that don't retain a memory and you can keep charging them well past there 1000 charge mark and they still work great the brand I use is Rayovac and out of all the others I've tried they are by far the best and the cheapest as well . Hope this helps you out . Walt Reply Edit Woody Member since December 2002 From: Third rock from the sun. Posted by Woody on Sunday, April 11, 2004 11:17 AM Yeah I have a Fuji 200A 2 mil pix. Great camera but very thirsty. I need to invest in some recharable batteries. I'll look into those Rayovacs.

Posted by stipp on Sunday, April 11, 2004 6:51 PM Well people, Ive finnished the cockpit area and neck and primed it now off to the body, I havent been working on this project for the last week, the holiday for 1 and my wife had just decided to want the bath to be remodled so i spent close to a 1000 bucks on it and have concentrating on it. Now im going to start again this week! I gotta question, how do i load pics to this forum? Thanks, Jerry Reply Woody Member since December 2002 From: Third rock from the sun. Posted by Woody on Sunday, April 11, 2004 7:13 PM Hey Jerry, it's pretty easy, first you need a photo host to up load your images to. I use Photobucket because they are free and easy to use. http://www.photobucket.com/ After you have uploaded your pics to the photo host you will be given a URL to link to the photo. You take that and place it between in your post. Note: you must remove the spaces after the "g" in the brackets. You can just use the image insertion feature on the message post page. It's the one that has the mountain & sun icon on it. One of the reasons I like Photobucket is they provide a URL with the bracket info already attached, just cut and paste into your post. I hope that helps.

Still have alot of work to do on the engine sections. Dan Reply cplchilly Member since January 2004 From: SO CAL Posted by cplchilly on Tuesday, April 13, 2004 9:25 PM I did the reverse on mine as I started on the fusulauge first and cockpit second and actually the cockpit is giving me the biggest headache right. I think this due in part to my inexperience in general with a lack of Air craft modeling as Im a long time builder of armour and soft skin vehicles and have only completed a few Aircraft.

I didnt think you were that close to completion! I havnt even started on the fuselage yet! But ive got the landing gear ready, its from the millennium falcon or maybe ill use the landing skids from a sf3d fledermaus? Reply Buddho Member since March 2003 From: Newport News VA Posted by Buddho on Saturday, April 17, 2004 2:52 AM Latest update on the fighter...made the landing gear , glued and filled in both ends of the fuselage ,glued engine nacelles together, and worked on canopy. Latest update: ship is ready for primer! Dan Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, April 17, 2004 5:20 AM That looks awesome Dan! I've been quite busy lately, and I pretty much haven't started my starship, just dropping by.Where did you guys get the Sci-fi badge? Reply Edit Buddho Member since March 2003 From: Newport News VA Posted by Buddho on Saturday, April 17, 2004 7:51 AM Thanks, Beans I just restarted on mine after a long layoff. I believe MadModelFactory sent the image in and we voted on it out of 15 suggestions.
