Clunkmeister

So I’m losing my mind. The book Carl donated was won by Hubert but I somehow brain farted and put it as won by himself. I’ll be uploading the video which will explain it all sorry guys. List amended.

Yep for some reason I had a brain fart. Carl won his own prize, I drew one one twice, and Hubert didn’t win. No not cool. I’ll check

Aaaaaand despite all my careful planning, Carl won his own prize. Dangit! I’ll figure something out for this

Video will be posted as soon as I figure out how

To everyone who participated, THANK YOU! Mods and Admins, thanks for allowing this to happen! Y’all are a breath of fresh air! It was a pleasure to do this and I’m sure we’ll do it again next year. Those who donated, please get in touch with the winners and arrange shipping to the winners location. Merry Christmas!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr angry longhorn

Entrants. Just verifying I missed nobody

I’ll try to post it here as well. Afterwards. Along with the results. I hadn’t thought of doing it live, because I’m not FB friends with everyone here and many aren’t even on FB anyway. Was just going to post the video there.

Nittak Hullo Chito Na Yupka Merry Christmas in Choctaw, the native language of my wife’s ancestors, the Chickasaw Nation. Exact translation is Day Holy Big Happy

In one respect I’m happy I’ve outgrown the exploded LEGO factory years, and R/C helicopter cat attacks, but we still have the dreaded turkey coma afternoons. I want to personally thank Harv. The very LAST thing I need here is another kit, so Joy got with him ang he hooked her up with some suggestions on paint, brushes, and supplies, the stuff we REALLY need. Yeah, kits are nice, for the 10 minutes until they go into the stash, but supplies get used immediately.

Merry Christmas, y’all! Here’s to hoping we wake up in the morning with no news. I don’t want to hear that F-22s, MuG-31s, Su-27s, CF-18s, or Tornados flamed the Red sleigh....

So, here’s my thought, guys. I’m going to have Joy help me with this in the morning. I’m goin to place the names in my Old West Traveling Preacher’s hat, and draw the prizes one by one, down the list, in the order they are recorded on the list I have been updating. Once all the prizes have been awarded, all the names will go back into the hat and I will then draw for the Grand Prize of the HK Models Lancaster kit. My wife Joy will be video recording the drawing on my iPhone, and after the drawings are complete, I will post the results here, and also attempt to upload the video either to here or to the Facebook page, whichever is easier. I offer the video for full transparency. Good Luck y’all and have a Very Merry Christmas!

No it’s not, but I like the scale effect of shading, IF you pre shade correctly. Im undecided on it actually. Paint is not enough effect, and Aviattic is a bit too much. Happy medium somewhere?

It’s sitting when I decide what to do with the wings. I ordered some Aviattic linen and I think I’ll use it. Nothing stopping me from finishing it now. Maybe jump back in as soon as I’m done the F-5F. It’s almost there....

Gaz, did the Luftwaffe ever use NMF Sabres or Starfighters? Or were they all camo? I'll only do one Sabre. A glorious Golden Hawks version, all shined up for the airshow season. Gimme sugar scoops baby! Even the most hardened F-86 must have his heart thawed a bit by the sight of that team in flight.

My problem with buying kits is that along with WW1 models, we are seriously in the Golden Age of Large Scale Multi Engine Bombers and Transports, and those are my first love. And of course they go out of production quick, so if you want one you gotta grab while the grabbing's good.

That's one of my all time favorite schemes.

Awesome donation, sir! I assume you want to be entered in the drawing as well?

That’s it? I’ll enter the bear nuts if you’re putting it in.

LOL Gaz, Ya know, I really should change my Avatar..... that had to be one of my favorites of all time....

LOL, thanks. It’s got it’s flaws, believe me. I think the yellow’s not quite correct, close, but not quite right, and, it’s blotchy in spots. But so was the original, so who knows. I build Kitty Hawk T-28s with my eyes closed now, but I tried to get cute with this one, and it cost me the jigsaw locking alignment this kit can give you if you do it right. But, I wrestled it through.

This may be where we finally learn the answer to the age old Indian question: “Who’s quicker? The Eagle? or The Bear?”

Hahahaha no, it’s no too late. Go for it. Umm, raffle donations or nutty nutz pics?

This is why I love you guys!
