False accusations? 

Dude, if you make your bed, you gotta lie in it?  Maybe I should call you the "Ostrich". Now you want to stick your head in the sand and pretend that you didn't do anything at all!

You are simply priceless mate!

Anyway, you are right. Bringing my grievences over here was kinda silly, and I have already sent my appologies to the admin... Will be the last I will say on it..

Infact I would like to ask if the moderators could clean this post up and put it back on to the subject..

Hey Chris, I seem to be a little late on this. Been busy. (daily life crud) The Y wing looks great!! I see you've been busy on this amongst other things. Sheesh.
Them other 2 kits come in yet?

Hi Ed.. I definately know the story with the daily life crud!

Thanks about the Y-Wing.. Although the X-Wing worked out to be alot more fun!

As for the other kits, no sign as yet, and it doesnt seem like he is in much of a hurry...

Good to see you on..

Chris

The X-Wing does look sharp & I like the way you did up the display base. That' kewlApprove [^]

I try to get on here when I can & usually just check "My Forums" when I check my email. Too many things going on right now & I am working on my PT Boat for the G/B so, there ya have it.

Now this guy you're getting the kits from, id he making them himself? If so, that explains the delay...

hey chris!

nope, havent been working on the f15 lately.. kinda lost intrest.. dont have to tell you that happens somethimes eh? ;-P

this is what ive been working on lately:

a DS9 almost ready for paint hehe.. im kind of in doubt wether ill do  this one by hand or by
AB...

got some more pics in the thread i started about the DS9. have a look if youre intrested. had some problems with the pylons, but things worked out just fine :)

hey, you got some pics of youre shuttle? cant wait to see it!

[offtopic]

chris, griff, i dont wanna interfere anything, but, can't you please both just DROP IT?!?..

ive read all youre nice little discussions in several threads, and i dont know what ot who started it, but its getting a bit annoying really.. IMHO, youre both great guys, and even better moddelers, im not asking you to become friends, but cant you at least ignore eachother? you both are messing up 2 great boards..

like i said, i dont wanna get mixed up in all of this, but please leave the discussion out of model threads.

just my 2 cents, shoot me if you dont agree ;-D

thanks.

Well in all honesty Capt.. It was dropped.. And Ed got us back on subject..

It's when people keep saying please drop it, and ad their opinions to it. Is why it keeps going....

Anyways, lets leave it there please..

Capt.. I have to say that I am seriously not trying to come across as a grump.. But I really am tired of what has happened lately.. And for that reason I have become very wary with people of late.. Its a shame, but I guess that's the annonomous world called the internet!..

So, I am happy to do anything to keep the focus off certain people, and keep it in the spirit of these boards..

So here are a few pics of where I left off from my Shuttle project.. I am yet to build the Base and the Booster & Rocket set...But the Orbiter is done...

It is called Endevour, becaue that was the ship that Capt Cook discovered Australia.. I might need to be corrected, but I think it now lies off the coast of Boston on the sea bed? Happy to be corrected on this one!







Cheers, Chris

You're not wrong there.. I couldnt see how you could paint them on.. I think even the best modelers would pass that one up!.. So yeah, the decals are sweet, and give the Shuttle a little bit of realism.. I guess my only gripe about them, is that they are a little too grey for my liking, and should be alot darker.. Other than that, they really give the model some depth and scale..

painting them on? mmm maybe with templates? could be done.. ive seen so many amazing AB jobs, it wouldnt suprise me..

about the color: ive read somewhere that you can simply AB some paint over decals very lightly to change their colors..might make a nice experiment?

To do them with an A/B and template would be very time consuming but, of course, it would stand out. Most of your time would be spent on preparing the template
