popeye the sailor Posted February 8, 2021 Author #94 Posted February 8, 2021 thanks all.........that paint laid down really nice.........I was impressed with how the EZ air brush worked once I got it going. I still have a bottle or two of that color....a PBY comes to mind...but that is purely plutonic at the moment, since I don't have a kit. you saved the day Lou.......don't be modest. the first link you sent showed promise.......I could have done a couple other variants with the parts contained within that order........too bad it got canceled. but you didn't give up I'm glad you didn't........another hearty 'thank you'! glad you all enjoyed the project mtaylor, Edwardkenway, lmagna and 4 others 5 2 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

popeye the sailor Posted February 9, 2021 Author #96 Posted February 9, 2021 I think I bought this one from Hobby Lobby......the kit is still available. a lot of my other kits, I get them from Old Model Kits .com. they have kits that I've never seen before.......some are pricy, but I think they cater to collectors, given the dating of some of the kits. I've seen kits I've built long ago.....a walk down memory lane Egilman, Edwardkenway, thibaultron and 4 others 7 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Canute Posted February 9, 2021 #97 Posted February 9, 2021 Yeah, Denis, thanks. When Free-Time Hobbies, in north Georgia, had a store front, I stopped in with several buddies when passing thru the town. Sort of like wandering in a museum for some of the kits, plus a lot I never seen before. Very wide selection of planes and armor. Backer would have liked the armor section. They specialized in ships, mostly the more modern stuff, post WW I. There were stacks of plastic, resin and PE. It was heaven. They've since shut down the store front and just do internet/mail order. lmagna, Old Collingwood, Edwardkenway and 3 others 6 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild
popeye the sailor Posted February 10, 2021 Author #98 Posted February 10, 2021 here in the city, Hobby Lobby seems to be the only place to buy models and stuff. Michael's is getting to be a joke.......their section is almost bare. they must not be seeing a lot of traffic, you can tell by the paints and how separated they are. you have to really stir the heck out of them.
