Yea, since you talked me into ordering the helmet decals Iām trying to figure out which way to go. Full figures or helmets strategically place in the cockpit.

1956 Ford Thunderbird

Iāll be watching this one! Not sure why, but I just cannot get into building car models. I spent my youth building real cars, restored my Mustang over the years, love looking at detailed car models and I even have a huge 1/18 diecast car collection. But just cannot get into building them. Peter, Iāll just live vicariously through you on this build! -
As always, Iām shopping for AM to go with my kits I already have in the stash. I bought this Eagle Transporter kit shortly after they came out. Just couldnāt stomach the $100 price tag of the machined aluminum engine bells. Surfing around I stumbled across the Eagle 2 set on sale for $64. But would it fit the Eagle kit? Took my chances and rolled the dice. Yep! Same parts but with the addition of two more bells for the auxiliary power pod on Eagle 2. Now, the big question. Build as is, or delete the crew pod and make it a heavy lift Eagle like the CH-54, but Space 1999 version carrying around a Star Trek Shuttlecraft keeping with my āScience Fusionā builds? I just need to find a 1/48 SciFy subject to go with it. Thought about a bottom half of a lunar lander, but that would be too realistic. š¤Ŗ

OMG! I just thought it was me that felt this way. So Iām normal?

Looks like a little filing, sanding and then fluff and buff will fix that wind screen right up. You even get a practice piece with every kit! -
Be careful shopping on eBay for Barracuda Studios resin parts!
ScottsGT replied to ScottsGT's topic in Barracuda Studios
Good point. Never thought of it that way. -
I just realized that there is no Sunday July 10. Does this mean it goes on forever? Or July 9, tomorrow? Or Monday July 10?

I was window shopping on eBay for ā1/32 resinā to see what popped up. Started seeing a lot of Barracuda products and all were from China. There is also BarracudaCast which is the real deal sold by various vendors. But this Chinese counterfeit company is reproducing Barracuda Studios parts down to a āTā and just goes by the name āBarracudaā. Shop carefully.

Whatās the humidity like in your neck of the woods? I was out on Las Vegas in June when it was 103F. It was actually comfortable as long as you werenāt in the direct sun. People we met up with were complaining about it. Told them to visit SC this time of the year.

I just picked up something new watching the dogfight scene yet once again. The walkway on top of the intake is only on the left side, not both sides like a lot of decals have. Iām sitting here looking at Tamiya decals and they are black. Got a Revell set that is yellow. Movie appears to be a medium gray. -
Back together again! Amazing how much better it looks with correct wing droop and not rise. just a few inches of seams to fill and correct. I did discover a major color shade difference from the original paint work. Especially the bottom FS white. I didnāt put enough down the first time and Iām going to have to go back and lay down a bit more to get it right.

WOW!! I hope mine turns out half as nice as yours has. Very impressive weathering skills.

Given your space limitations, youāre doing great! If you were closer Iād give you an old roll around emergency AC unit I have in storage. Itās one of those stand alone units that you exhaust out through a window.
