Another "Where did this come from?" thread...
Clunkmeister replied to ScottsGT's topic in General Discussion
I opened a cardboard box in my barn last weekend and found five 1/35 armor kits that I was absolutely sure that I had sold at the last Nats in Omaha. I had zero idea I had them, and back then I had zero idea how I had got them in the first place -
I'll take a pic or two tonight. LOL You know, one or two kits every now and then, followed by some trades, a few yard sales, and a glacial building timeline, and you get this...

That’s awesome, man! Seriously. The only place you find pictures of me is at the Post Office and the Sheriff’s Office.

I generally go to Angelo’s in White Settlement, but Tony and I frequent Tolbert in Grapevine. Close to D/FW, his home, and my shop. well, we’ll need to do Vegas if you make it. Trying to rope Karim and Tony into getting there.

Smitty is a Marine, as in Navy. Their college is the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and their team is called Midshipmen. His niece is Army who’s team are the Black Knights at the US Military Academy in West Point, New York. The annual Army vs Navy football game is an American staple. Marines cheer Navy, and people with brains cheer Army. His niece has brains, unlike Smitty. But apparently, this year, the brain stem that Marines use to function and perform basic life skills has sprouted a few extra cells in his otherwise empty (jar) head.

Smitty, I’ve been following her progress through West Point, courtesy of yourself, and my thought and Prayers are with all of you as she continues receiving a world class University education in one of the most prestigious military universities in the world. I’m sure a stellar Army career will follow!

Well if I drop dead, my wife knows where y’all are. I had a bunch in the barn, then a pile in the house, now they’re all in the barn. Resin all in the house. Other than WNW, very, very few mainstream IM kits. Mostly Lukgraph, Silver Wings, HPH, Fisher, Craftworks, Alpha Flight, OzMods, MDC, and Special Hobby stuff. Nothing “Shake the Box” other than Kitty Hawk, HK, and a couple Tamiyagawa. Tony knows this. He’s seen it. Hell, I have an HPH Arado 196, and an MDC Ki.61 for crying out loud! Why? Because they build nicer than the comparable IM kits. It’s insane.

Started cataloguing Wingnut Kits today, and the Bible certainly talks about gluttony. Not good.

Harald, if you get go DFW, give me a holler. Tony and I both might be able to do lunch. We have a favorite burger/beer joint. Been trying to get Karim here, but be never gets here..

What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)
Clunkmeister replied to Martinnfb's topic in Modelling Discussion
Tony, you set yourself up for that one with the Oral-B comment. But yeah, Red and yellow make little to no sense if you're trying to hide from prying eyes. One thing I will say, though is that how effective that German mauve/purple is at camo. It's uncanny how that lozenge camo pattern like that will disappear in European fields. And in 1917, there were a whole lot more fields, and a whole lot less industry. -

1929 Fokker Super Universal
Clunkmeister replied to Clunkmeister's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Yeah, I'm reshaping the rear fuselage and the transition from the wing to the fuselage. We had a very slight printing error, which means many hours of sanding and building back up. I WILL have a fairly solid update on this on the weekend. I'm trying a 1340 out of a Kitty Hawk T-6, but I'm afraid I'll need to get the Vector engine to give me more detail in behind, which is invisible in the T-6- 67 replies

I’m not sure your builds suck there, Mr Nats Champ! As far as stinky breath, I don’t think it was your breath I was smelling.... -

Ok, found the G-set, but so far no Weasel missiles and pylons. And no F-set. They’re here, just need to dig ‘em out. Also need to find a Master pitot, Quickboost refueling probe, resin wheels, and G-Faktor gear. This might be doable.... maybe -

Well, I took stock of my Thud good it’s and found these stuffed away. I think Aires will work better for me, but BB is pretty decent stuff, too. Eli’s decal sheet is a huge, huge bonus, so..... -
