Thanks Carl! I actually intend to do a whole series of 1/32 science fiction including the Star Fury. I'm currently in the design phase of the UFO Moonbase Interceptor from the TV show. Other 32 scale projects on my include SA-43 Hammerhead from Space Above and Beyond X-Wing and Y-Wing, Star Wars UD-4L Cheyenne Drop Ship from Aliens Blackbird and Stealth Viper from Battlestar Galactica 2003 I've also got quite a list on non-32 scale sci-fi on my list as well

Thanks Scott- Nice job on the Seaview! I'll be re-visiting the Ark II project again to add a full interior and do the Roamer as well on the ramp off the back. I went through that project with the possibility of producing it as a kit. If I can find my build pics, perhaps I'll add a build post for it. In the meantime I have a big ol' list of other sci-fi projects I also want to do...

Very cool Scott! A beautiful job and a nice presentation of two such iconic subs. I'm also excited that you're talking about doing more sci-fi! Kai

I hear you Hubert- I had the same dilemma. I feel fortunate in that I feel my design skills have improved to the point now where I can print better than I can scratch build for most things. The ability to improve and reprint as many times as I want is also a huge benefit. What 3D printers are you using?

Thanks much Chris- Unfortunately I'm not on Facebook, but I'll see if I can work out something so I can check in with him directly.

Thanks Martin for the heads up- I am greatly relieved to see that Harv is hanging tough.

Wow!

Hey Jeff- Totally late chiming in here, but love seeing your truck builds! I'm in the middle of a Mad Max tanker truck conversion (currently on the shelf of doom actually), but seeing your builds makes me want to dig it back out. I've also added the "Duel" tanker truck and "Big Trouble in Little China" rigs to the stash awhile ago, so there's no shortage of fellow interest. Kai

Howdy folks- it's been awhile, and thought I'd check in to see how everyone is doing. I'm very pleased to still see many familiar names here and hope all is well with each of you. I haven't had a chance to catch up with the site- still reading through many of the threads, but I am not seeing much of Harv. I hope very much that he is well- perhaps someone here could bring me up to date? As for myself, still building quite a bit since "retiring" though my eyes are not quite up to par anymore, so I've changed up my approach a bit. One of the things I've been spending time with is 3D design and printing. I've done quite a few projects over the past couple of years, mostly science fiction but some military modeling as well. I'll include a few pics. Among my recent projects, the ARK II (from the 70s TV show) in a proper 1/24 scale. Currently prepping decals for that one. The Klingon Bird-of-Prey from Star Trek is actually a series of detail parts that I did up for the AMT kit. In the background of the BOP is a very long term project, the Randy Cooper Star Destroyer, a rather atrocious kit. Fiber optics and a plethora of parts and assemblies including engines and the hanger bay. Lastly, the Thunderbolt from Babylon 5 in 1/32. Pretty cool to see that one next to an F-14 Tomcat. In the background of that pic is the unpainted prototype- that project went through over 140 design iterations. The display base turned out really nice as well- I really need to take some decent pics of the finished model. The 3D work here is done by myself. I've considered the idea of producing some of these kits for sale, but I'm not ready to work that hard yet. The ability to design the kits I always wanted but weren't made has opened up so many possibilities, and I'd rather focus on those right now. For example, I just picked up another P-61B kit so I can finally do an XP-61E. In the meantime, I'm currently working on bunch of WW2 armor- if I can get my camera to work I can post. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and let everyone know I'm still working hard at re-living my childhood. 😁 Kai

What is the gray object? It looks like it could be a tube launched cruise missile... Kai

Thanks gents and for looking in on my build! Back home now from my travels and just now getting caught up. Cheers! Kai

Peter, John- thanks much my friends. Kai

Thanks friends for the kind words. I’ve been travelling with little acess to internet lately, so please excuse the blanket reply. Looking forward to returning home in the few weeks and to building some more Kai

Ditto everybody!

Thanks Drifter! Toys for Christmas, batteries for birthday.
