Well if this is going to be the official gallery for the time being then I better post these.

Hey that looks exactly like when I built that kit, I love the super CF scheme. That cockpit is really impressive, the black and red tubing is sweet. I could never take that sloping nosecone though, I eventually scrapped mine for parts. Oh, FYI that kit is 1/72 scale not 1/48

Thanks for all the kudos guys, you support is always welcome, especially when I´ve just shown my day´s progress to my girlfriend and she tells me she can´t see any difference and I should finish that crap and get me some "real" work .... she´s a teacher and her week has been horrible so far.... 370778[/snapback] Damn that's cold man, next time she goes on a big diet and buys a new dress and asks "so how do I look?" just say "I can't tell any difference".

heh, yeah I'm sure American lawyers would get really far in Germany trying to stop Thorsten.

absofrickin'lutely!

You're already on the list as wanting 2??

You guys talk like sniffing the fumes is a bad thing LOL. I do glueing and sanding at the kitchen table. If I'm doing a lot of glueing it might get bad and I'll open up the windows but usually I'm glueing 1 or 2 pieces and then sanding and filling.

Oh ok is that the 21st century toy? I was thinking it was another tamiya build up. Did you ever get their 1/6 bradley? that thing was HUGE!

whoa, I didn't know they had a paper version of the SV-51!

David, for masking do you burnish the tape along the edges? They make special plastic burnishing tools for rubbing the edges of the tape to insure they don't seep underneath. For buildup along the tape edges when airbrushing. If you use light enough coats this really shouldn't be a problem, however, after each coat you can remove the tape, lightly sand along that edge and then remask, don't forget to reburnish.

The standard template is out there already.

I turn 34 this month, man you guys are old

There's a main site?

Oh for the love of Peat!

1/9 scale Abrams holy crap? Post reference pics for size, like your wife riding in it

I know Big F wants to help, I don't do development stuff but I can supply all the pictures you need, I hope you still have the ones I sent.

I've just got too much going on, kids, volunteer firefighter, work, that whole 1800 sq ft addition on my house I'm building. I've got some of a 1/32 Tomcat built, some of the FMMF built, some of the VF-22s built, most of the Club-M vf-11 built. I keep getting bored or frustrated and I jump from one to the other. Rhino I don't suffer so much from AMS but PMS (lol) Perfect Modeler Syndrome. Not so much fixing flaws but the daunting list of steps you have to go through to do a high quality build sometimes puts me off (and I refuse to build any of my kits any other way). As great as airbrushing is it takes a lot more setup and cleanup time than a brush, then there's all the sanding and seam filling (my least favorite part but the most prevelant on a model it would seem). Then painting and all the various layers that go with it. Probably my favorite part of building is the panel shading and the decals, that's when the model comes to life. So yeah, 250+ kits later I'm nowhere close to being done. My finished models fit on one shelf in my garage, comes out to around 15 kits built Nice kitchen BTW LTSO

Yeah where you been? and don't give me any of that work/kids/real life crap either

Well you could tell us but then you'd have to kill us, M4 or SAW which implement would it be?

Yes LTSO I was greatly offended at your toy comments Actually this model is much too good for Ostrich's... sorry Actually actually your name is on the list under Darklord.

how old?

Dude you're #5 on the list already

Oh man, I can't believe you found that thread, I got to link that, thanks! Oh wait that's just the finished pics, here's the link to the build up, http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...rmored+battroid

Dog gonnit I need to hear more Destroid

You should thin tamiya paints with Alcohol 97% or whatever the highest you can find. The water definately did you in on the drying time, I know that one from experience, air temp can really mess with dry time as well.
