    Jesse!!! Mate, great to see you back on the forums again! You've been missed 

    Hope your well? What have you been up to for the past 4 years or so?

    I appreciate your response MH!  All good here, nothing terrible has happened... it seems only work, life and lack of ambitions are to blame for my absence :closedeyes:   Time and time again I thought about building models, however as the months passed by, the thought of unpacking all of my modeling stuff seemed unbearable :bandhead2:  At long last I decided to log into ARC and after reading a few inspirational threads, such as yours, I have been getting my hobby bench back in order.  It's very exciting to be back on the forums and I very much look forward to more updates on your work :thumbsup:

    Chuck your Aggressor Eagle is simply magnificent :worship:  and congratulations to another FSM publication, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!  I read the WIP cover to cover and your construction and problem solving skills are both inspirational and somehow intimidating at the same time.  Being away from the hobby for 6+ years, this thread was a great memory refresher... and I will be reading the rest of your threads through and through as well.

    Always good to hear from ya hi2.gif -keep working & kicking butt!

    Thanks for checking in sir! Yeah, just picked up a 2014 Toyota Tacoma so I have no choice but to keep working wink.gif

    One of the best Fathers Day gifts I ever received has been the time to sit down and catch up on ARC. That said, I am even more satisfied because this was the first build I looked at and it is going beautifully. Fantastic attention to detail Jesse, seriously fantastic. Looking through this has made for inspiration to get back to my workbench, and that is much appreciated. I've been so busy the last two years that I have 3 projects that I really want to begin working on again, one of which is a 1/32 Tamiya F-15E. Thanks for sharing this build with us, sir!

    Wow thank you for checking out my build 70.gif You are much too kind blush.gif I sure hope you can get back to yer Mudhen build and please post some pics when you do!!! It can be very difficult to start modeling after a long hiatus... and maybe it's just not humanly possible for many... All I can say is that hopefully this build can inspire you and other builders, just like I've been inspired by everyone on ARC & Z-5.

    Quoted the truth...

    I concur with MY good friend Clif. 70.gif

    Thanks Holmes! I'm blessed to have Clif as a friend the same as you 70.gif

    Duuuuude, this is next level! Nice seeing the progress.

    Thanks dkobayashi biggrin.gif Long time no see!!!!

    You're on a roll Chuck, keep it up! You're hard work & fine attention to detail REALLY paid off on the AIM-9's and AGM-65's. Gotta love those Sierra Hotel wheels, they look like a vast improvement over the Cutting Edge OOP offering... I recently placed an order on their website and I'm hoping that they are still in business pray.gif It's almost done my friend, soon you'll be able to reap the rewards and close another chapter in master model building 271.gif

    Great start on the camo Marcel! I'm really looking forward to see how you go about shooting the camo colors :thumbsup:/> Something I have yet to attempt dry.gif Those are some great shots, at a glance it looks as though the buildings could tip over at any moment :unsure:/> And like others have said, congrats on a happy, healthy family. Cheers.

    Aha, finally the mystery has been solved! I'm really looking forward to you picking this up again once you get tired of making cash dry.gif

    Cheers,

    Marcel

    rofl.gif Thanks Marcel, If we could only make a living building models... sigh.

    Oh Hooo...the prodigal checks in, dontcha hate it when life gets in the way, but hey....without life none of us would be modeling, Hang tough bud, there are many things that have a higher priority than this hobby. It's just great to hear from ya, and know that it's by choice that you're absent, not chance. With time away from it your zeal will be increased; as if it needed it. You don't need it, you've got more modeling skills and talent in your pinkie than most have all over. However when you get back I'll have a fresh notebook ready for when class resumes....are ya back yet?!?! w00t.gifwhistle.gif .

    Thanks for the kind words as always Clif :)/> Hope you're whipping those 48th Tomcats into submission!!! There's a slight chance that i'll be back sooner than later :thumbsup:/>

    Hi Jesse,

    Long time, no see.

    How'd this build end up? Did you finish your big Eagle?

    Cheers.

    Thanks for asking Guy, great to hear from you and I hope it's all good on the other side of the pond... The answer to yer question is "no"... I'm really struggling to find any time for the Big Bird, the good news is that I 've not lost the will to build the model!!! I more or less work as an independent specialty piping welder through a union hiring hall. I began work at the oil refinery back in February and I had hoped to have the summer off... they asked me to work the summer through the fall as they are spending lots of money this year... so I'm spending 2 weeks at home with my family, then I will head back out and finish work around mid October or so. I've tried to bring my modeling gear to the apartment near the job site, but after putting in 10-12 hour shifts, I'm afraid that i just don't have the energy to model dry.gif How bout yer Big C? Still a work in progress?

    Hi Chuck. Very slick job on the paint... After the repair work, it looks like you've come out on top! Those raised rivets really "pop" as well, which really makes it look like a "flying tank". As far as the decals go, this Hog is gonna be a show stopper no matter what the scheme is :thumbsup:/> Nice work. I don't know how you made it this long without a punch set, but I know you'll get plenty of use out of it... However, I agree that it's WAY overpriced dry.gif

    Wow Marcel, great progress and thanks for the tutorials on using the scale hardware washers :thumbsup:/> Nice touch on the burner cans, you really do excel when it comes to paint and weathering... It must've been a real trick trying to airbrush the streaks inside the cans, but man you sure nailed it! Here's a few reference pics for painting the exhaust area, cheers.

    Sorry I haven't replied in awhile, but linus, the paintwork on the airframe is just right... I hope to achieve a similar look on my 32nd. I must add that the exhaust and the hot metal area really really looks nice, hats off to you man! I'm really jealous, all I can do is think about modeling a Mudhen, since I don't have any time to build right now dry.gif
