Messerschmitt bf 109G-6 by cog - Eduard - 1/48 - PLASTIC
lmagna replied to cog's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I noticed that the reference picture you used in the beginning was produced by Eduard so I assumed they possibly had the decals needed to build it this way. Good to kn ow that you can "make do" with what you have though. -

Does Eduard supply decals for this scheme? It would be a shame to leave it unfinished or have to wait because of a lack of decals. -
Shows you how bad my memory is. When I first thought about the chase scene I was thinking that it was the Citroen that ended up in the tree and what a great diorama that would make. But the video shows that I am obviously getting senile. Some of the post race cars though can be quite the effort. Not only can there be grime and dirt but dents and duct tape EVERYWHERE! All of the Duct tape on Buce McLaren's MK IV above was the result from the back of the body blowing off at 150+ mph! He had to go around the track again, pick it up without assistance and carry it back to the pits before the pit crew was allowed to tape it back on. It was only one of several incidents that happened to him on that race. The car did complete the 24 hours though. Another example would be Rodger Penske's Lola T-70 in the 1969 Daytona 24 hours.

Nice work OC

If you duplicated that car chase I think it would be an opportunity of building the car upside down or right side up. I think it spent as much time in one position as the other. Got a little "weathered" in the process as well I think. I have also seen models of LeMans cars modeled in the way they looked at the END of the race. Pretty interesting models sometimes.

I agree with the others, including Harley. You have set a very high standard that can only be appreciated when you enlarge the pictures to their max..

Looking nice Carl I still think the color will make it a very unique 109 rather than just another generic German plane. -
Too bad they don't supply well made vacuformed canopies to go along with these super detailed cockpit parts. That way you could still possibly actually see what was inside when all was done, especially if you treated it with something like Future to make it clearer.

I have mixed a lot of Ramin with many dishes in my years, starting with C-Rats. But THAT does not look even close to appetizing The C-Rats would taste better without it.😝 -

Is he blushing in purple? -
Other than the mowing the lawn part, (I haven't done that since I broke my ankle) and the empty nester, that was the way it was for me as well. Plus I was taking my wife's morning coffee up to her each morning, getting the two kids fed and off to school and walking the dog, (Uphill both ways) and getting my shower in before doing the morning dishes. All before 9 when my wife would come down. Now days I have been making her bring ME coffee in bed and I don't have to get the kids up until 9:30-10:00 But then I have to "assist" them with their school work as if I was a teacher or something, and try to make sense of all the educational stupidity. THE most HATED part of my day. I used to think I was RETIRED, but now I think I am just re-tired. Hopefully by the time I get to my third tired I will be able to get some rest.

Since they shut the schools down and I no longer have to get up at 6am. 9:30 is about the time I am sitting in my beddy by looking at the morning horror stories on TV and drinking my second cup of coffee to get my heart started for the coming day.

That's because you get up before I do Jack

You guys are getting so many builds that I am having to make up a schedule book just to organize my time to see them all. Looking interesting OC

I thought that there was a lot of cutting and hacking in needed in my Huey First Class section to make it better it looks like you hold the trophy now. In addition your First Class section is smaller as well. Looking good.

Warm water is the most common meethod of dealing with plastic warping as Henrik points out above. But there is also a chance that you don't need to worry about it at all with this part in this kit. The deck fits into a grove on each side of the two hull halves and once they are brought together properly the deck will be trapped and held in it's proper place without the warp. Yo can test this out by dry fitting the three pieces and holding it with your hand. Welcome to the forum and good luck either way.

MRAP ATV by CDW - FINISHED - Rye Field - 1:35 Scale
lmagna replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I believe that may have been the Heller Ferrari 330 P3/4 kit Mark. At least the one I built has metal springs, kind of like ball point pen springs. -
Came through that time, thanks Jim. I hate to think that I missed one of your paintings, they are all that good, each in their own way.
-
That was a tough call. Removing the directors when it is probable that you would be the only one who would even know was quite a choice.
-
The picture didn't come up for me this time. Was it something I said?

Makes the frame/suspension system on the Revell wrecker look primitive by comparison! -
I still say that it is almost a miracle what you have been able to do with this kit Robert. Shouldn't the stand be some kind of seaweed covered old board?
-
You mean one of these?: Or possibly the more modern military version: In case you doubt their existence: The Russians will try anything! Where did you find a 1/32 M-23 set-up? That was one of the reasons I went 1/35th. The Huey you have has the right mount for the fuselage but no ammo box, pillar or gun. No I take it back, you could scratch the piller and ammo box, and there are plenty of M-60s in the kit. Are you able to find 1/32 crew?
-
It came out nice EG. But then I expected no less from you. Looks like you would need two or three vehicles per gun just to carry the ammo and crew to operate it. From what I read in the stuff you posted in the link a few days ago, they spent much of the night and morning after "landing" just trying to locate the planes and gear and dig what they needed out of the wreckage and get it all assembled as a combat effective unit. It is kind of amazing when you think of it, that in just a relatively few years we were doing the same thing only using helicopters to insert in some cases almost entire battalions and they were operational almost immediately upon hitting the ground. Again, great work.
