    I thought the same thing until I realized that it was a wide shot!

    As Titanic has wrapped up, (don't worry, pics coming tomorrow or the next day), I've been looking forward to my next few builds, two of which are 1/72 USAF jets, one being the Academy F-22. It would seem Academy cheaped out and didn't include a pilot... Any one have any ideas on a place to get a decent resin or pre painted 1/72 F-22 pilot or pilots? A quick phone Google search didn't turn up much.. Any help greatly appreciated! 😁

    5AM Monday Morning - ALL 1/350 PE Passengers and Crew cut off PE fret... 5AM Tuesday Morning - PE Passengers and Crew started going on the decks. Got about 1/2 done, half to go. Can only do about 10 at a time and have to take a break! Soooo freakin small! Here's where we stand now...Ohhh..I'm not giving up on the Marconi Array, I am not going to let THAT beat me after all I have done! I have a NEW PLAN to try Friday or Saturday..It's gonna be down to the wire! HAHA! Literally! Stay Tuned!!!

    Sometimes in life one is in need of a little bit of humbling. No matter how good you think you might or might not be, there come those days once in a while that remind you just how much you are NOT a pro. Take today for example. Two weeks ago, I built a small prototype of the Marconi radio array that goes from mast to mast on the Titanic. Ok, great. Had my plan in place, knew what I was going to do when the time came well....today was the day! Up bright and early, at the model desk ready to rock at 7:30AM. All that was on the plate for today was make the array, get it on the ship. HOW HARD CAN IT BE RIGHT? Well.....it's now 10 hours later, and I have exactly the square root of JACKSH*T to show for it. I've made two complete arrays and had both snap back on me and knot into an unholy mess. UV superglue and Hobbytown "INSTA-SET 3-5 seconds can both KISS MY BIG WHITE A**! I OFFICIALLY GIVE UP on make one of these. I knew going in that it would be extremely difficult, but I had a plan dammit! Anywhoo, I've lost my temper, I refrained from smashing the ship into bits, and will run a single line from mast to mast and call it a day later in the week. OVER AND OUT. Ohh did i mention in order to make the Xmas deadline now I'm going to be getting up at 5:00AM at least three days this week to get the stupid PE figures on the deck before work every day? No? OH JOY!!!!

    Mr. Santa Claus came early to the model bench....THIS is my reward to myself after a year and a half of building a terrible ship model! BOOM! I can't WAIT! THIS is going to be soooo fun next spring/summer! OR...I might have a problem as I have NO where to put it!...LOOL!

    I can't wait to see one of these decked out in a cool dark paint scheme or camo/low vis scheme with a sh*t-ton of guns and missiles hanging off of it!

    "We're in the endgame now".....After 1 1/2 YEARS of work...hard work, setbacks, figuring out how to make a kit designed in the 70's by hand and re-popped in the 90's go together halfway decent, the Titanic (hiiiighly modified to accommodate lighting) and photoetch...sooo much photoetch.... is almost ready to set sail. I figure 3 to 4 more full days of work (mostly rigging) and getting her on the stand and wiring finished up to get her ready for the reveal on Christmas Day to my father-in-law. Final pics soon!

    200% fine if Luthan turns out to be a fallen Jedi. Finished the season last night. Great show. Eagerly await Season 2.

    Did the same guy who directed Bumblebee directing this? I remember he had a hard core love for the series and Bumblebee was pretty darn good.

    @nightmareB4macross - awesome pic/work/play area! LOVING the old school JOE'S! I had the checkpoint and the tent as a kid! The playsets were just the business back in the day! The Televiper was one of my favs too!

    They totally should have had Fred Savage and Jason Hervey do a camo in that episode.....would have been hilarious.

    Wife and I tried 1899 last week and got 3 episodes in and yeeeeh...NOPE. Just don't want or need to see 2 dudes yanking each other off through an iron gate. LOL. Man, those crazy Germans...LOL. Just a bit tooooo out there for us and we like out there.

    THIS! Right HERE! Totally should have spun it somehow that the two were interconnected somehow! Still, I like this epiosode, it's just CREEEEPY AF. Kinda like a good old X-Files episode!

    @mikeszekelyAwesome review!!! I LOOOOOVE my TE-01 with cell shaded front window decals, but I gotta admit, MS-02 looks darn good!!! Christmas present to myself perhaps???.....

    Now we're starting to get excited for this! Also had my first trial run at making "The Marconi Array" today which was suspended between the masts for radio signals. Not bad for a 1st attempt me thinks! I'll plan about 3 hours to do for real eventually on the ship. Getting closer!
