  1. It is my bet Mike will absolutely post them on his site, that will be awesome for you , bud....
  2. Well, that freight shipping might be a bit pricey, so maybe a medium rare Porterhouse, instead?............... seriously, the fit and finish is excellent I agree with Gaz, the strips take it to the next level....... it really is beautiful..............
  3. Carl, can you ship that to me, as I seem to have FIRST dibs, that would make an excellent model table ! WOW, nice job buddy.. I love it
  4. Awe....................... Shucks Gaz,........................ I appreciate your kind words and sorry for the thread hi-jack............... I promise to stick to the subject from here on.....
  5. Maybe I can do this................ Well, Gaz..................... I guess my problem is that , it is my confidence, more than anything, I am my own worst enemy, BUT after a lifetime of everyone telling me I what I do is no good, and I suck at most everything , it has shaken my over all confidence............ I know that is a poor excuse, and I should just jump in the deep end, and go for it..... YOU are absolutely right in what you say about having fun and trying it.....I actually build models for ME and no one else, so once again , I should heed your advice, and play on....when I look at some of the ones that have criticized over the years, they aren't much better than the next guy......don't know why I don't heed my own thoughts........................I'm lucky so far, no real issues, yet, my hands are fairly steady, my eyes still work, my back gets sore ( so what ) I suck at scratch building, I like models and playing with them, I have some decent tools, a fairly good place to 'work' on my kits, no where to display them ( LOL) I love being here with you guys, and at the moment, due to aging parents and their needs, I have virtually no time for any of this............... I'm like the old dog who can't jump anymore due to being old, but it is still in his heart to try.................... so I will TRY............ you made a motivational point, I will get on it.... I did throw this together, although it is most definitely not the right scale ( 1/72) but the paint and decals was a challenge, and I thought the overall effect was ok.... NOT to the level of what I see here by any stretch... it is supposed to look like the real pic when Delta Yankee was in her glory days.....
  6. This is going to be epic, and I can't do this.,......................
  7. The drop tanks look really cool, makes the plane 'Look" fast...... I'm really liking this a LOT
  8. Well said...... that is an excellent compromise, as I for one can certainly see both sides, my issue, is IF I spend a lot of money on a real nice kit, I don't want to screw it up... well, I guess that goes for all the kits................ I just need more talent...
  9. https://www.elmcityhobbies.com/shop/index.php?main_page=mylink&zenid=085e0930f63cee319864be161e682cfb Some interesting things this week at Elm City Hobbies......
  10. I see Sprue Brothers have an extra 20% off this weekend on Mini-Art kits eh? just in the nick of time...
  11. I am sure you guys are more than well aware of this site, but just in case, they have lots of details... including the wheels you may be looking for Ernie... http://www.lzmodels.com
  12. Ernie, I totally agree with Martin, and I could add that I bet it will be the FIRST post war RCAF MR Lanc out there in the whole world.......Did I read that you are going to send Mike some photos for his gallery on his site of the finished product? That would be cool..... I LOVE how this is coming together and your attention to detail, and I will also add, that you are building this just about as fast as John would...... (does)
  13. Not even dinner time out west Carl........so I guess that gives you another hour or two eh??
  14. See, this is the generosity I was referring to... unmatched....... and outstanding.......
  15. OK dinner is OVER .....c'mon Carl we are all ready for dessert !
  16. makes good sense, and a great idea and way to solve a little issue, it is looking incredibly good, I sure would like to see it in real, but your build thread keeps me wanting more.....
  17. me too............................... holy , that is cool..................
