I'll go for prize 51, the 1/72 tiger
-
What happend last night? I missed the raffle, but is everybody ok?
-
If we have to stop doing things because they are proven unhealty, i'd start with smoking.
-
Wow, that is some serious impressive building. What scale is this?
-
I think i speak for every sane person in the world that we all support France in these difficult times and that our thoughts are with the families of the victims.
But do note that we will never be scared into obedience.

As promised i went to my LHS this morning and picked up a second kit to donate.
Revell 1/72 Horten Go 229 boxmnumber 04312 new in sealed box.
It looked tasty to me. I hope someone else likes it too.
-
Anyone know the name of the French special ops troops? Do they have one? Prayers going out to France!
The GIGN is the anti-terrorist force of the national police. They succesfully ended the hijack of an Air France A300 in 1994.
There are talks of 40 people killed.

I'm going to my LHS tomorrow, i'll see if i can pick up another tasty kit to donate.
-
how do you guys distinguish between MiG-21 and Chengdu J-7? they look exactly the same to me.
A mig 21 has a very different wing. Far more triangular.
-
I'm in. I hope the raffle isn't on the 12th because i have to go the a birthday party that evening/night.
Also, i'm trying to keep my mornings clear. Last year i had to go shopping the following morning and the raffle was still going on at 3am local time. Thank god most of us had a few great beers to keep us awake (or what ever excuse we can use to keep drinking).
Anyway, i also like to donate a kit. To keep in the trend of 1/32 WW2 fighterplanes i bought the following kit:
Revell 03986 1/32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IIa
It is new in a sealed box.
Also, a special thanks to Corsairman and Pete for organizing this raffle. You guys are doing a great job.

Is it me or is this video of great quality. If you freeze frame i find the images excellent.

To those who have seen it in theaters: is it worth seeing in 3D?
I can't see how 3D would add much to this story but I could be wrong...
I saw it in 3D yesterday (picked 3D because the schedule allowed my fiancée and i to grab something to eat) and i must say, 3D doesn't ad much to the movie. There are very little scenes that seem to have been made to fully benefit 3D.
Anyway, here's my opinion on the movie:
First of, great movie. Nice pace, good acting, and not the usual, we got to safe him without any outside help hollywood crap.
Would have love to see the Russians help, but if it isn't in the book, i can see how they didn't write it in the script. I just hope in real live the good relationship in spacetravel between the US, EU and Russia (see ISS) would see any nation to ask a partner for help.
The only thing that is a bit annoying with these types of movies is that you can see the ending coming from a mile away.
But, to be honost, you know that going in.
Conclusion: If you want to see a (very) good movie that isn't an over the top disastermovie, go see this one. I would definitely recommend it.
-
OK, i cleaned it.
Damage report:
- Static wicks on both elevators are lost (not a big problem)
- three of the four what i assume are vortex generators on the engine are lost and the last one is detached (kan be made out of plasticard).
Other than that, it is fine.
-
Ok, i bought myself some cleaning gloves and this evening we'll start the cleaning. I also need to remove the current attempt at painting white (i recently learned about spraying matt first to cover the colors underneath and than hit it with a glosss coat.
-
Ok, so cleaning it is. I kind of came to that conclusion after thinking about how much work i already put into it.
-
May i should bite the bullit. In january we are expecting our first child so it could prepare me for having my hands dealing with poop.
-
Ok, to give the question some context, first a little personal history.
Three years ago my fiancé and i bought a old house. We moved in and started renovating.
On the ground level we have 2 rooms that aren't renovated yet and that we use as storage. We don't come here often (once a week to pick up some stuff) so that will explain some things further along.
Anyway, one of the things i store there are models that i put aside for awhile when i run into a problem that needs thinking over or when i lost the mojo on it. I currently have six models pending. One of these models is a Revell 1/144 Airbus A320. I was going to finish it in Aer Lingus colors but was still looking for the right colors and had a problem painting the white (which i found a sollution for). Because the model was a good way along and i wanted to protect it from damage, i put it in an opentop cardboard box with soft padding on the bottom. I left the top open so that when carrying it i could see the model and know if my movement weren't hurting it (a lot of overkill here).
So today i was walking into the 'storage rooms' and it smelled really bad. I knew right then and there that my cat had decided to scip the litterbox and do his job there.
As you can already guess, after 2 minutes i discovered he had been using the carboard box as a litterbox more than once.
So now i have a cardboard box sitting outside with a A320 in it, it's horizontal stabilizers, tail and one engine covered in feces.
Now the question: save it by cleaning it, or dump it.
Before you answer, know that i scratch build a cockpit for it and redisigned the cockpitwindow because that one is horrible in the kit.
Let the voting begin.

The Christmas raffle is only 4 months away...hint hint.
-
I don't know for sure, but being an Army Signal guy those look like commo wire reels.
I have a picture of a second axle at the museum. It has something on the spool. I'll try and post it tommorow.
-
Ok, have looked into it and there are even kits available of this axle (and the rest of the gun ofcourse).
Thanks to all for helping out.
-
That it was possibly something to tow out stuck tanks or trucks from the surf. I didn't even pick up on the camo. I dumb.
I was trying to link the axle to the bomb displayed underneath it, so yours isn't as dumb as you may believe.
-
The seat was meant for someone to sit on... :whistle:/>
What? Who fooled you in believing that?
-
I think they needed a guy on the rear chasis to manually operate the brakes. Thought the reels were for commo wire.
That would explain the big lever in front of the seat.
-
Or I'm way off. Lol
Damn, didn't see your post. What did it say originally?
