  1. a co worker and I are planning a virtual build night, he reached out to me to ask me if I was still building, and now that my two girls are a little bit older I'm finding myself with some free time now to get back to the bench. I'm playing around with armor, as I've always enjoy armor, however as most of you know, I have a soft spot for 1/32 planes, and I have all of the room in the world for them as well, so that's why I build them. Regardless, I gave him some simple advice on where to start a good simple kit for him that he could relate too since he is a veteran, I almost always ask someone if they are new, did you serve? that will light up their world usually, and they put one and one together, "I can build something I can relate too" is usually the answer and or response and off they go. I do try to be very real with them, like hey your first few are going to be maybe less then what you thought they should be and or you might be less then thrilled with the result, but I tell them to hang in there, keep building, start with learning the basics, seam lines, putty, repanel lines, painting etc, and I've seen some guys stick with it, and build nice stuff in short time frames. This is a great hobby that you can come back too, and or pick up at any time.......and in these unprecedented times, that is a good thing.
  2. this build is so awesome, to be back and see the progress is so cool!
  3. man that's awesome! I wonder how that bad boy would look with some lights wired into and some light up instrument panels and displays!
  4. I'll say to you what the guys at my local hobby store say to me when I start saying I'm not going to buy a new kit. "George you cheap dog, buy the kit, you sell software and working is a hobby to you" I'm going to add this now, yes I'm cheap, and yes I sell software, however I do not drive a Porsche, my level of "disposable" income is somewhere between $5.00 to maybe $12.00 depending on the month. Good for you on exercising the self control, maybe sell a bunch of your other kits, and that will then offset the price of the new HK B17 you want. I've saved up for things for months, and when you do get to buy it, it really does make it that much more rewarding.
  5. have faith in Revell, I do after building their 1/32 spitfire, everyone dumped on it at first, and it has turned out to be a great kit, every once in a while Revell will shock you with a great release. I'm still really interested in their F18 Super hornet, hopefully that gets released however the date has been getting pushed around like a ping pong ball
  6. No kidding right.......I was thinking the same thing.
  7. Ben, this build turned out incredible. It's really one of the best builds I have ever seen, my question is, when are you going to get back to that S3 Viking in 1/32 that you were working on?
  8. I know, very sad, that was suppose to have been released by now, I talked to my local hobby store, and he mentioned that it's looking like August now. Hey if they are spending time on getting it right, and need some extra time to get details correct, then take your time! I have more then enough in my stash to keep me busy.
  9. Hey guys, I hope all has been well here! I finished up this new Tamiya release. It is a 1/48 scale Type 10 main battle tank. I have a soft spot for all things Japanese military, don't ask me where it came from, because I have no clue. Typical tamiya kit, it went together well, very quick and easy, the tracks are actually in sections, and they are really simple, you just have to take your time. I painted the tank with Tamiya paints, and then used the vallejo black oil wash. Just for craps and giggles I did this one very dirty and then put it next to my 1/35 type 10 for a size comparison. Thanks for looking!
  10. how about a F4 phantom IP............now we are talking!
  11. such a great build, and the way you are building this makes me to not even think about building one. Cracking work! how are things coming on that 1/32 S3 Viking?
  12. this is bad to the bone!!!!!! seriously nice work, and it just goes to show that if you put forth effort, dream it, you can build it! My great grandfather was a model railroader and the stuff he built from scratch was incredible, he would then sell those to companies so that they could make molds, and then sell his kit. Plus he wrote tons and tons of articles as well. Ever thought of doing a full size 1.1 model of a F16 instrument panel?
