    I gotta admit, for a bare plastic kit OOB build, with only a panel lining and a few details, that looks pretty damn good! 😯

    I can now report ALL major parts of PE are completed for the Texas! The cranes were the last big hurtle! Also can report all quad 20mm guns are completed...seven parts a piece for those tiny little buggers...and..work now continues on the single 50 cals and more baskets! Pressing on! (Not pictured, work on the B.U.F.F. continues as well, got the engines built and on the wings this morning)

    Is it wrong I'm SERIOUSLY considering forking over some $$$ for a sealed original Monogram 1/35 Starfighter model off Evilbay for a Christmas present to myself in honor of Gil??? Not many left out there, soooo wish a modern GOOD model company would make a new one!!!

    Early Sunday morning l finished up the hardest PE for the Texas. The rear observation tower and radar screen. I'm glad I saved this until last because I had been dreading it. All the techniques I had taught myself and utilized up to this point came in handy to get this part finished up with only minimal stress... LOL 😂. So at this point I still have a lot of little diddly PE to finish up but it's all rinse and repeat stuff I've done before so it's just a question of making time to sit down and do it.. (42 - 50cal guns / quad 50s /baskets and such, and the two aircraft cranes) Other than that, it's down to dropping down a million little plastic parts on the deck and before you know it..... It's gonna be time to start painting this bad boy!

    Omgossshh! SUPER pumped for that work of art @tekering Over here it's time to complete the 🇺🇸 bomber fleet trifecta ... Two down, one to go.. The B.U.F.F.! 😁 I grew up watching these do touch and goes from Carswell AFB in west Fort Worth in the 80s from the church where my mom worked in the summers and I was out of school. Riiigght in the flight path after takeoff.. Glorious! ***Didn't think displaying a 1/144 B-52 would be an issue.... 🤔 However... I just opened up the box and saw the wings! 😂 Not suuuure the good old IKEA Detolf is gonna be big enough!

    I'm in. Brother in law will roll with me. I only saw Jedi in the theater growing up. Born in 75 so I missed SW77 and 80 ESB. I did go see the 1st round of Special Editions back in 97 or whenever those abominations happened...

    Yeh, I'm more than just a little hacked off. This kit plus the 1/72 Glaug is running $175 shipping from HLJ for TX from Japan. YEH NOPE. They can keep it and I'll just loose my money on the price of the kits eventually I guess. UTTERLY RIDICULOUS🤬

    Academy 1/72 SR-71 finished and mounted on its stand. After market resin pilots are in there from like 2 years ago.. In their appropriate orange flight suits. Didn't turn out to bad. Flat coat kinda killed off my beautiful oil streaking but ohh well. It's done. Moving on!
  14. derex3592
    @tekering thank you! That means a lot coming from a builder with your skill level! The beat up Bug looks incredibly life like! Great job!
  15. derex3592
    No interest in seeing this in the theater again. Infinity War though??? Yeeeh, maybe!

    I ran into Hobby Lobby yesterday to grab some small cheap wood bases and brass rods and on the model isle I was impressed myself with the amount of Bandai Star Wars and Gundam stuff they had. They didn't have that GIANT Tie but ohhh man, if they had, my wife would have been asking me "WTH is THAT?!" when I came back out to the truck! 😂
  17. derex3592
    LOL 😂. @Papa Rat Not sure about a good beginner boat kit, I'd say go Tamiya and not Trumpeter though out of the gate to get your feet wet no pun intended... Over here today I finished up the Academy 1/144 B2. Great little kit. I could have done better on the painting but I wanted to build it up quick. Enjoy the pics! SR-71 is finished and will be on its base tomorrow with pics forthcoming!

    @wm cheng - "I'm going to go back to basics and build something easy and straight out of the box!" ....... Also @wm cheng ..... See above pics... 😂 😂😂 Looks awesome man! Can't wait to see more!

    Never heard of anyone calling this SDF-1 "small"...LOL. I guess you could track down the Yamato 1/2000 one if you want a bigger version.
  24. derex3592
    Bandai STILL got the grey toooo dark on the DX release GBP Armor....Mind you it's still waaaay better than Yamato/Arcadia did with the dark blue...😆
