A few years ago I was building a 1/72 Russian bi plane. Did lots of detail work, built up the wings and everything. Went to put the fuselage together and realized I had two port sides. That one went into the trash.

LOVE THE NEW SITE!!!!!

Mostly visit on facebook now. But yeah I too have met many paste eating glue sniffing friends here!

Her hobby is handcrafted purses. Yeah I'm pretty safe. She is pretty supportive, she even purchased my Mustang

Been 10+ years since doing any building. Figure all my model master enamels are toast by now. Looking at going acrylic, any suggestions. I had poor luck with model master acryls, and they are spendy. I was paying $2.99 a bottle back then, look to be around $5.99 a bottle now. So need quality, but also need a decent price. Mostly brush painting, some Aztec airbrush painting. Suggestions?

Sorry I missed it everyone. I spent the day at the emergency room with the wife while fighting a cold of my own. Came home and went right to bed. I really missed the fun from the years past. Next year let's hope for a huge turnout and that I can actually be there.

Ill join in this year, missed last Life has been very busy and convoluted as of late

I don't have the extra part, but I sent a email to revell on this very kit because I lost my clear sprue. I inquired about purchasing a replacement, About 6 weeks later, I opened my mailbox and there was the entire sprue, free of charge.

I have it bookmarked to buy when funds open up a bit. If your research is only half as good as the effort put into your models, then it is a must have.

Watching tv with the spousal unit and they featured a British fellow on the show that was a model builder, and wanted to start his own business centered around models, Just wondering if he is one of us.

Phantom, they have just re-released the Enterprise, I got mine at culttvman.com. Service beyond unbelievable.

Today was the first day in two weeks where I have not been hacking and dying. Still not having full lung capacity, but I can somewhat draw oxygen again.

Just looked on Amazon, the kit alone goes for more than you are asking for the package. I would pull the trigger, but I only build in 1/200 due to eyesight. I hope you get what you want for it, it's a great deal.

Just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to all the crew here at ARC, the community of fellow modelers, and airplane nuts like myself. Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all and may Santa bring you all you ask for and things you don't even know you need! --Ric

No Christmas raffle this year?

When you put them on the model, they look fine, but when you put the correct sized engines next to it you really notice the difference. Rough ballpark kit engines look to be 1/90 scale or so.

Last week the polar lights 1/1000 refit Enterprise was selling at the cheapest for $59.00 plus shipping not as a prime vendor. Earlier this week I found it for $23.50 Prime shipping included, at my house in two days. You just have to keep looking.

Not horribly bad, depending on how well designed and accurate the kit is. The AMT kit has bad wing angles, soft details and the plastic is really soft. Engines are noticeably undersized, and fuel tanks are off as well. Usually around $79 so $20 bucks more for a good kit is not too far out of line.

nothing here either

Glad to have it back on line. I ALMOST thought about building a model...

Flew a mission in Vietnam in the B-52

Congrats! Feels good to achieve a major goal in life. I am happy for you!

Happy new year to all may 2016 be a wonderful, healthy New Year for all!

beautiful build!!!!!

You guys stay safe there, I was complaining about the foot of snow we are supposed to get tomorrow, but thankfully not life threatening.
