  1. That's not something you see every day. Great work like Martin said. Carl
  2. It was, last year. Not sure if it sold or got pulled.
  3. There's a house near me that's almost tha ratio. The house is 3 stories and the garage behind is almost as big as the one in the pic.
  4. And there's the rabbit hole I fell down that made me end up binning the two I was working on. Hope that doesn't happen to your build.
  5. Wow, that didn't take long. Great results too.
  6. That looks fantastic.
  7. Very nice finish on the gloss black there Rob. Not the easiest thing to do. As for Ammo being Alclad, I know their primer is made by them so it wouldn't surprise me if their metallics were too.
  8. Thanks Paul! I'm back to the doctor tomorrow to see if the X-rays and ultrasound found anything.
  9. Craziness. I had much less trouble when I ordered from Iwata, even when it had an error in the address. Speaking of Iwata, have you seen the special they have on? https://www.iwata-airbrush.com/hp-c-unpackaged.html?list=Closeout Products
  10. The Wing Gundam shoulders are together now. Which allowed me to attach the arms and head to the torso. A close-up of the head. If you're wondering about the proportions, this is one of the Super Deformed series of kits. That's Bandai speak for their Cute/Egg style models.
  11. A nice simple upgrade there Paul.
  12. That's a fair bit of progress. I only have a couple smaller Modelcollect armour kits and the fit is similar to what you're experiencing. Likewise with the incomplete instructions.
  13. MMM, General Tao's chicken.
  14. I've hurt my shoulder so bench time has been a bit sparse of late. I can manage short stunts before the pain gets too much so I haven't really gotten much done. That being said, I finished the upper torso to the Wing Gundam. With the upper CIWS Gatlings and the cockpit open. I've used a silver Prismacolor pencil to do some weathering. I've got the shoulder parts all trimmed and cleaned up ready for a coat of paint and then assembly.
  15. Looking forward to this.
  16. In high school I had a summer job working for Players as a stock boy. They paid really well for what it was but the biggest perk was the discount on the cigarettes. I think they were $20 a carton which was I think less than half price. I should have stocked up on them and sold them to my classmates as I didn't smoke myself.
  17. The classic black and gold paint scheme. Absolutely iconic.
  18. Picked up a couple kits recently. Actually, I bought them back in August for pick up from my LHS but only made it there last week. First up was an oldie. Not sure it's a goodie but it's the only game in town. Pre- WWII subjects are a rare one for me so we'll see how this ends up. I recently got an F2G Super Corsair conversion kit so when a Tamiya Corsair came up for a great price I knew I'd found my base kit.
  19. I've had a similar experience as well. For me, it's the nozzle as well but on my Iwata airbrushes. I keep the tools on my bench handy for a quick clean and disassembly and then I'm back in business. I've found some paints are more thoroughly cleaned/flushed than others too. Carl
  20. Kotare have also announced a BF109 E too. It seems like this could be a very expensive year for some folks. Carl
