    Just catching up on your build. The struts are really impressive. Just curious how you get the alignment on the joint where all three struts meet? You did the V first and when you add the third one, do you solder it on too? Carl

    I went through my pics and found that I had managed to finish more than I expected. By scale: Tamiya Marder III Dragon Panther G late Takom Jagdtiger Schewerer plattformwagen Takom Jagdpanther Bandai 1/144 Aluminum Falcon Bandai 1/100,000 Super Star Destroyer Bandai Mecha Collection Andromeda Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire IX Hasegawa 1/32 Bf-109F Fujimi 1/12 Nissan Skyline GT-R Lastly, there's the display case I built. I also started way more than this so I will hopefully get those done in the coming year. Carl

    It's a very looking Pfalz Bill. I've got the same kit in my stash. It's one of the few WWI planes I do have. Carl

    Thanks Harv! Still waiting for it to dry and see what it really looks like.

    I'll just say it was the cats. I mean, our Calico gases me pretty much any time I'm at my bench so fair play I'd say.

    I started on the ground cover. I'm using two different grades of gravel from Woodland Scenics. One is fine talus and the other is fine ballast. I mixed a bit of both together and then sprinkle/pour it on the base. Then I'm using a dropper to apply thinned PVA glue. With the base covered, I put the Scammell on it to see how it looks. Just need to wait for the glue to stay and we'll find out soon enough.

    Some nice subjects there Gaz. A nice variety too. Carl

    Ernie, it's a gorgeous build. I'd be happy with it the way it is. Carl

    I'd love to see you build the Firefly. It's my favourite WWII tank.

    I have decided to forego the Jeep and just do the Scammell and Grant on the base. To that end, I've thrown some drywall compound on the base and shaped it so that the groundwork won't be completely flat. This is new territory for me so I hope it works.

    Looks awesome. What is the passenger holding in his hand? Cellphone? Carl

    Here's my collection now that it's been reorganized and made to fit on the shelves. You'll probably note that I've got the opposite of Ernie's collection. Lots of Japanese two star shake and bake kits. The two RC car boxes are actually full of leftover sprues from finished kits.

    Harv, it was a great job on your first tank kit. Can't wait to see you build more of them. Carl

    I got the decals on. So it's all done.

    It's a very nice airbrush.

    Very nice builds gents. The Mig-15 finish is definitely unique. Great job too Rob, especially on all the WNW kits. Carl

    You don't see too many of these made. Cool idea on the toothbrush sander. Mr Tools makes pretty much the same thing. Mine is somewhere on my bench. Carl

    Looks really nice to me too. Can't wait to see the next installment.

    I missed out on a Deagostini Falcon that went for $500. Have you picked up any of the upgrades for that beast? As for the Bandai plastic not reacting well, the big one I've heard is not to let any of the turpentine or enamel thinner pool on the model when doing washes especially on bare plastic. Lacquer paints (Mr Color, Tamiya) are okay. I've built a number of their Star Wars kits and haven't had any adverse affects and used Gunze's panel wash on it. Here's my 1/144 Falcon This is their 1/350 Falcon getting attacked by a giant space cat, my first try at a Bandai Falcon.

    Ok, wanted to get something finished before the end of the year so I naturally started something new. Pretty much one colour, and press fit. The instructions are even printed on the inside of the boxtop. Main hull halves: All the small detail bits. I painted everything in a mix of semi-gloss black, metallic blue and gun metal. Biggest pain is masking off the small detail colours. Hull together with the bridge attached. And finished! Not bad for 90 minutes work. Oh yeah, it's a 2020 release so I finally finished something that came out this year

    This is the one I've got: It uses LED strips instead of fibre optics for the small lights. The video on their site seems to show it works so we'll see.
  22. BlrwestSiR
    You're going to love it. A truly gorgeous kit. I would absolutely love to see Bandai work their magic on a 1/32 plane.

    Here you go: https://www.falcon3dparts.com/ They're 10% off for Boxing Day too. Are you planning to light yours? I've got a lighting kit but I'm still not sure.

    I know, first world problems eh?

    Ok, the area around my work bench was getting a bit out of hand. Way too many kits puked up not on shelves and I was just waiting for an avalanche of plastic to happen. So I reorganized my shelf space, got things better sorted and it's much better. In doing so, I managed to get all my Tamiya single engine prop kits into a single pile: They e all found a shelf to sit on now. And more importantly, I have some floor space back for the cats and dogs.
