FB111?

I’m seeing the potential of a Kelly’s Heroes group build... love me a Tiger!

Sweet! I love a point-in-time/specific event build... watching with enthusiasm!

How about something completely off the reservation like an AC-47 or AC-119?

I moved into the living room... one of the joys of being divorced!

theres any number of things i’d like to see from HK. Top of my personal list would be a B-25D that I could build as an early strafer conversion in the South Pacific. There are *Sooooo many* good stories to tell with that as a base..

Looking good!

I’ll do a couple different versions. I’m limited a bit in terms of size - I can’t do anything larger than 11x17” but there’s still fun things that can be done - i’ll Dig around a bit on the site and come up with something that represents us well

Good to hear that there is at least movement if not progress! sometimes just getting to a diagnosis is the hardest part. Be good to yourself and know that we’re all pulling for you.

I’s got batteries, for when my ideas fail me!

I can beat that! my bench has completely overflowed and is consuming my living room

One last ammo case...

Holy mother of storms - great work and an amazing concept https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=6s&v=WwN0gscOzIE

The display table admin asked me if anyone here would be reserving a table to LSM members, as he doesn’t see us on the reservation list. I’d do it myself except that I won’t be there until Friday and will be paying my registration at the door Is there anyone who will be taking display models along who’d be willing to take on a table reservation?

That’s a beautiful bird! i’ve not Seen the kit in-person, though i’ve heard some of the issues. From where I sit, and issue with the kit is just that a kit problem, not a builder problem. You made a beautiful bit of artwork here - that’s a beautifully-done NMF, and the paint/decals/weathering are spot on. I think it’s on Hobby Boss to fix the wing and other issues - but none of that detracts in any way from the results you achieved i know with utter certainty that i’m Not up to that much bare metal - yet

Now you’re going to make me blush! [tries vainly to shrink head back to normal] i am hoping to get feedback on the live version, taken as a whole. I’d enter it in the contest except that it’s far more wood than plastic, which doesn’t seem to fit a plastic model convention

This is gorgeous work! I’m specifically impressed with your mods to the mods of the original mods...!

This is *very* cool... I love the collaboration that happens between the different companies - it helps to leverage different strengths and we get a better kit overall. i am looking very much forward to that A-20! I’d been watching the slow dribble of hints from HpH. I finally asked them about a timeline and they said that it would be an HGW kit, towards the end of next year - which aligns perfectly with what was mentioned a few posts back. i’ve been looking at that C-47, and trying to figure out if I could convert it to an AC-47... I unfortunately haven’t (yet) found anyone doing the miniguns in 1:32. Everything else, I could scratch

Let’s! who else is bringing goodies?

Awesome approach - I like the way you look for opportunities to play in a bigger sandbox

I’ll have the Picket Boat there, at least by Friday noon-ish. It’s sadly all I’ll have done. If we have enough Display Models between us, it’d be truly fun to have a table.

I can print stickers, but not regular plastic tags

I’m arriving Friday mid-morning (I couldn’t get Wednesday or Thursday off work, dammit!)

Ropes complete and drying in place. I need to add a touch of weight and a bit more solution (diluted gorilla glue, water and Secret Weapon sewer-water wash) to get the detonator line to hang properly, but i have to wait for the coil to dry first. i’ll be loading coal (O-scale coarse model railroad ballast) into some of the scuttles next, while I wrap up the ammo cases. Ammo case and some 3D printed buckets ready for priming and painting...

It’s been quite the journey! Issue 25/25 of the ModelSpace Millennium Falcon landed at my front door about two minutes ago... That’s a bit over two years of wait, lost shipments, replacement of missing shipments, 3 or 4 moves... now I just need to build the thing...
