Silver Dollar Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks Geoff. When I felt I had to finish a build to get it onto a site or for a tutorial, I got so burned out it wasn't funny. I promised myself that I would be the only master of my hobby and build when I could and not care about the finished project. I'm much, much happier, a lot less stressed and more careful with what I'm doing. Tonight I finally finished the metal "wallpapering" in the waist and now I'm going to put in some wires, boxes, O2 apparatus and other fiddly bits. Pictures will come a bit later. Thanks all for peeking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi Silver Dollar, Just went back a couple of pages to catch up on this UNBELIEVABLE B-17 you building. My Hats off to YOU SIR! She really is turning into a work of ART and Bless you and your tenacity to do this. I have a couple of builds that I'am doing in a Group build and a 1/72 Saturn V that my wife got for me for my b-day By the time I finish these I should just about be even with you when I re-open my 17, but no where near the quality o this one She is Gorgeous Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Dollar Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm not out of the running yet. I'm taking a short break to work on a piece of tooled leather. It's a Chinese dragon scene. It was inside my brain and I had to get it out. I'll show it off at a later date. Meanwhile, I'm still adding interior parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Dollar Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Thanks Craig. I just need to get a few of theses other things done before I go back to the aircraft hangar. I haven't quit the build and I won't quit either. I'm involved in so many hobbies it's nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Dollar Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Jeff leave those large scale hot rods alone LOLOLOL. Good to see you again. I've already done that. That's not what I'm working on. What I'm doing is tooling another leather Chinese dragon to complete a set of 2. Plus I'm making a reproduction AVG banner like the ones Chiang Kai Shek gave to the AVG members. There's one in the AF Museum. To get a real one, I'd have to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $25,000 or several hundred bucks for a repro. I figured I'd just make one myself. Time to get out the sewing machine.

Silver Dollar Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Looks as though you are a man of many talents! Thanks. If I didn't have all the hobbies to do, I'd just sit around the house, eat and drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
