    Something new. BBQ duck wings.

    Not sure what happened there. Anyways, good news. I found the poly caps so I can get back to this build. Soon-ish.

    That's cruel. It's not like he bought a Challenger.

    Really nice work there John. Interesting to see how much different the fit of the cockpit is between the two generations of kits. Not to mention size difference.
  6. BlrwestSiR
    Definitely very nice work.

    The only pistol grip airbrush I have is a Procon Boy one. It has a fan tip so I use it to cover larger areas. For that it works quite well.

    If there was one, I couldn't see any reason why not. I think if we just made it an Egg/Chibi mini group build that would encompass everything. Just in case, Chibi is Japanese for cute so any of the deformed, 'toon or egg shaped models would be work.

    It's unfortunate that companies constantly get away with this. Hope you can get your money back Kevin.

    Congratulations! Wow, you've definitely got a lot going on at the moment. Enjoy the cruise. The half track looks to be a fun build.

    Looks great. I remember this kit from my childhood. Glad to see it still holds up well. Carl

    Wow, talk about a purse from a sow's ear. Sanding off all the rivets has really made a difference. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the cockpit.

    Some great progress Mike. The Aires stuff has always been hit or miss. It either fits or it's way off. But when you get it to fit, it certainly looks good.

    Nice and clean. Just needs a supercharger

    Forgot that this came last week with my BNA order. A Tamiya model of a Tamiya scooter. Well, it's really a Honda but in special Tamiya livery as sold in Thailand.

    Just a couple things today from Great Hobbies. They had their Thanksgiving sale on this past weekend ( Canada celebrates t in October, probably because we're colder) so I picked up the Despiae sander. Nicely packed as is typical of Despiae, I also picked up their dusting brush. On the kit side, I saw @DocRob's MaK build and decided to finally jump in and grab one. Great Hobbies has a number of models on sale and one could stack the Thanksgiving discount on top of it so this worked out to a great deal.

    Same here. I placed an order with them less than 2 weeks ago and it arrived Friday. Still don't know how they do it. Plus with their special of the day, I keep checking to see what's new there.

    Lovely work on the Tempest Kevin. Quite the conundrum on the finish but yours looks excellent. Shipping out of most parts of Asia just isn't as inexpensive as it was previously. Hong Kong no longer has any cheaper options unless you ship via surface mail and Japan is possibly worse. China is hit or miss. Oddly, Australia still seems to be reasonable for shipping and they're fast too. Carl

    Some decent progress there Peter. Looks like you were able to solve the canopy fit issue that some folks have run into.
  20. BlrwestSiR
    Nice checkerboard. Not an easy thing to pull off cleanly.

    To be honest, I think it's sometimes pure luck. I keep a bunch of plastic tubs that they package produce in and they're handy for keeping parts together. The different coloured plastic also helps. Probably about 1/3 of my stash is started in some way. Makes for terrible re-sale potential, but that's not what I buy kits. I still have the Vosper to get back to. That sums up a large part of my stash as well.

    ICM is going to release a Flak Bait boxing of the kit shortly. Might be worth waiting a bit for it to come out.

    Time for something else to clutter the bench. I started this a while back, I think when @Peterpools was working on his. I decided to see how far along I was and maybe try to make some progress. on it. It won't be anywhere near the masterpiece that Jeroen is building but I'm liking it so far.

    Paul, it's only their spray cans. None of the bottled paints and primers are affected. There's a chemical in the propellant that exceeds what's allowed so for the moment, all imports are banned. Shops and the distributor can still sell what's in stock but that's it. There was a similar issue many years ago with Mr Color. In that case, it was the bottled paints so they were discontinued for a long time. Some small shops were bringing it in under the radar but it was hard to find for a while.

    With the current bam on Tamiya spray cans here in Canada, I thought it best to grab a couple cans of some needed colours for my Bruiser at the LHS. While there I picked up the latest version of Bandai's MG RX-78-2 Gundam. Bandai has redesigned/updated this kit several times now. The original was released back in 1995 and they keep updating it since then. They keep improving the details and articulation of the model.
