Mask set coming for this aircraft in 1/48 and 1/32...should have the 1/32 available this week sometime. I spent too much time on this model and not enough time looking at the actual aircraft - the spots are too far apart, but I'm not about to go back and try to fix it. Maybe on the next one... Jeff

I'll be there, not sure what we're taking up at this point - waiting for the L-17 to come out of annual, possibly the RV-6, might just say 'ta hell with it' and drive up since I'm only an hour away. Jeff

Here are two links for you that have detail pics of Gatos and Balaos. Let me know what you need, as I have about 1100 images of the three classes (Gato, Balao, Tench) http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/jherne/balao_details/ http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/jherne/gato_details/ Jeff

We do masks of USN/USMC and USAF fonts. They are different... USN/USMC uses IAW MIL-STD 2161A www.modelerswarehouse.com Jeff

Its an old thread, but still relevant... Mine would be an MDC Typhoon, an Airfix 1/24 Hurricane that was given to me by a friend who passed away a few weeks later, a 1/24 Monogram Huey that I built as my Dad's helo he flew in SEA. Everything else is just plastic. J

Please if you are not interested delete this email and do not hurt me because I am putting my career and the life of my family at stake with this venture. We're locked and loaded and headed for China to get this guy!

Like I mentioned earlier, there's aftermarket folding stocks available for it that really turn it into a menacing piece... This one is machined to accept the bayonet, even cooler! Course, you can always go the Dragonuv route, too (for a ton less money!) J

Matt, Mines very early, has the Type I band, early sights. Its all original, serial #15817, marked Inland '42 on the barrel. Grandfather carried it in WW2, brought it home in '45, been in the family ever since. I don't shoot it much anymore, ran a ton of rounds through it when I was younger, used it for WW2 reenacting for a number of years, but switched out the stock during that time. Its back to the original stock at present. I'll post up a pic tomorrow. J

I have a 5-digit serial number (1st digit is a 1!) 1942 Inland Carbine, '43 Gewher 43, 44 Winchester Garand, and all sorts of other weaponry that I probably shouldn't mention here... :-) There's a fantastic folding stock for that SKS, really turns into a nice brush rifle. Jeff

Send 'em over. I've got a milling machine with nothing to run on it at the moment. J

I've been working with Jeff on some things. Trouble is, between the Warpigs and the new mask line, I don't have much time for pattern work. J

Nope - not me. I liken it to patience, lots of tools, tons of spare crap laying around my shop, and the fact that I'm too stubborn or stupid to give up. Course, now that I've learned 40 new curse words in 20 new languages, someone will do BOTH of these kits in injection form within the year... Jeff

Contact me with the particulars - a profile if you've got one. jherne - at - wi.rr.com Thanks, J

I did a vacuform group build on a Christian forum that I frequent, we had about 15-20 guys all working on vacs for the pretty much the first time. I did some basic tutorials on how I build, and turned them loose on their projects. Sourcing parts can be a problem, but at the same time, if a nosewheel stops you from building that 'must-have' model, then perhaps you should wait until it arrives in injection-molded plastic. The key to building a vac, or scratchbuilding a part that you need for a vac, is to break down into the most basic of shapes, and work from there. There's enough aftermark
