Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 4, 2019 Author Administrators Posted July 4, 2019 Well, it’s sitting there in a box with the fuselage together and the lower wing half on, and I just needed a break. F-5F showed up on my doorstep, then the Lanc hollered.... 5
Bomber_County Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 I thought this was a no distractions build............. 4

Phil, you ain't supposed to actually go back and look at my previous posts... I'm like an American politician. I don't flip flop, I "evolve". 6

I'm up for a digital camo scheme. Oh it's a real kit. Found it on ebay... I'm very tempted to track one down and make it the official insignia of the "squirrel mafia". 5

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 8, 2019 Author Administrators Posted July 8, 2019 YES! That’s our new mascot for sure! Don’t everyone buy at once, because Revell will see the sales spike and produce more. 4
[CAT]CplSlade Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Apparently they had a bunch of those tie-ins; two sets for the animated Robin Hood, Captain Hook's pirate ship (in day-glo red plastic. hooray!), Herbie the Love Bug of course... Apparently Perri comes with fur to make him a lifelike pet just like the one my uncle had...which bit the F out of me when I stuck my 6yo finger in the cage. I have a feeling that he is going to look more like someone was trying to build an diorama base for an armor piece on his back than a real squirrel. 5
TJTX Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 What are the chances of our 3d printing guru doing some smaller squirrels for us? Kind of be fun to have them in build threads and completed photos. I'm also thinking of starting a "squirrel mafia" for our meetings at contest/nationals etc... 5
[CAT]CplSlade Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Since my dad was a hunter and a surfboard shaper, he probably would have just caught a squirrel and dropped it in a bucket of resin. Once it stopped moving, you just pull it out and give it a pose before the resin sets. Already did it with a few frogs and a rat, so why not? 5
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 8, 2019 Author Administrators Posted July 8, 2019 3D printing would be awesome! Tony, I like that idea. I’m a go for one with a wicker basket on top, elephant style and a 1/72 scale dude with twin 50s on a swivel mount. 5

And I thought I personified the term “backwoods country redneck”. Cat, your Dad was so obviously WAAAY cooler on his worst day than I am on my best. That story is now legend. 4
Martinnfb Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 can sculpt one in scale, but somebody has to cast it for us 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 8, 2019 Author Administrators Posted July 8, 2019 Squirrel Mafia! PRICELESS! 3
BlrwestSiR Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Or: https://www.amazon.ca/Baoblaze-Lifelike-Simulation-Figurine-Decoration/dp/B07CWLJ5MD/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?keywords=squirrel+stuffed+animal&qid=1562555152&s=gateway&sprefix=squirrel+stu&sr=8-10 Maybe encased in lucite for that resin look? 2
Jeff Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 If a regular guy ( like me ) wants to join the Squirrel Mafia, what is the criteria?? ......................................... do you have to be " nuts" ?????????? 3
sluggo Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 A couple 3D print options...... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3313479 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3443855 1
