All, Has anybody here heard anything about this guy lately? I know that he stole money and kits from several members here including myself. I was just curious! Thanks for the information! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen)

Mike, Yes! I sent an email to the email address that is posted on his site and he responded rather quickly. In the next email I sent, I was looking for 3 sets of the Aztec Dummy sets and he was again very quick to respond and he ended up having 2 of the 3. He included with that email the price of those 2 products and the cost of shipping to me. Within minutes I had a payment winging its way toward him. Thanks for the update and information! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen)

All, As I have been preparing for the 2025 contest season as far as my builds, I have gotten "HOT" for several of the Aztec Dummy masks especially the ones for the Star Trek, Star Wars, and Space 1999 universes. My biggest concerns are that these things are very expensive and they are pretty much a one shot deal. I know that the aztec patterns for the starships and vehicles would be a nightmare to do myself, but some of these I am very tempted just to go things alone and do the masking myself, especially on the simple stuff. Thoughts? Opinions? Recommendations? Thanks for the

All, Does anybody here have any updates on Federations Models? I just saw on the website that the owner was taking a "pause" from way back in March with no further news or updates. I am more interested in his health and well being, rather than ordering products. Thanks for the information, folks! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen)

All, OK, folks, I hope I haven't let the horse get out of the barn before I am able to close the door. Over the weekend auctions, I was able to win a Hasegawa 1/48th A-7D Corsair II. As I typically don't build USAF stuff, I am looking for recommendations and availibilty of after market parts for this kit. Typically on my older Hasegawa kits, I will replace the intakes (if a semless intake is needed), a resin cockpit (Black Box or Aires), and the exhaust/burner can pieces. This kit is in dire need of a resin seamless intake but I have been unable to find Seamless Suckers, GT R

Dr. Steve, Yes, I have got your messages but lately I have been busier than a one arm paper hanger. I really would like to trade you out of the Meng Super Hornet. Or if you are not looking for anything, how much are you asking for it. I will need an estimate for shipping to 35630 assuming that we can't work out a trade. Thanks for the response! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen) -

Jeff, LOL!! I have a picture of that bird on my old phone as a wallpaper. I took it during one of my first trips to work at Watts Bar nuclear. David (2quik4u) told me about the only aftermarket decal in his post above. I found it on Ebay this morning, and ordered it. Thanks Anyway!! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen)
-
David, Thanks for the links. I had already found the Warbirds decal on Ebay but I was just wondering if there were other options. It is like everything else when it comes to 1/72nd scale anything. You can find twenty or thirty sheets or kits of a subject in 1/48th or 1/32nd scale but usually there is nothing available in 1/72nd scale. Yeah, I know that you would be able to help me, if you could. Because you have always been a big help to me in the past. Thanks Again!! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen)

All, I am having trouble finding the decals of the subject line, because I am not sure if they are or were even made. Any who, I am looking for a set of 1/72nd scale decals for the USAF Thunderbirds F-4E Phantom 2. No expense spared, have PayPal ready or will trade kits, decals, and/or aftermarket in your favor. Just let me know here or personal message me. Thanks for Looking! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen)

All, I just want to add to this discussion of what I have been able to gather from Mike's posts on FB. Me personally, I have been waiting and watching LSM ever since Mike bought lock, stock and barrel of Cobra Company from Chris Miller. Over the last few months he has posted mostly updates on his PBY resin kit and yes, he has posted that his website is broken and is busy trying to get it up and running. He is planning to be a vendor at the IPMS Nationals in Texas the first weekend in August. I am of the opinion that he has everything shut down right now to A) fulfill as many ba

All, As many have said here, my thoughts on this adventure were going to be sort of like a drive-by and not actually trying to take the full tour or even go aboard the Midway. I was just thinking that me and the wife were going to leave the airport with nothing on our backs as we were planning to leave all of our carry-on's with other family members in our travel party who will be staying at the airport. We will probably be taking a cell phone or may be a camera to take some pictures. But even now I am second guesssing myself because I have found some great pictures of the Midwa

Folks, I need to know if anyone here has done this. Our flight to Reno has a four hour delay in San Diego and one of my bucket list items is to see the Pacific Ocean and I would love to, at a minimum, to see the USS Midway aircraft carrier. So is it a fantasy for me to think that we would be able take a taxi from the San Diego airport to the Midway in four hours? Thanks for any input!! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen)

All, Come on, folks! I have never done a ship model and I am interested in doing this kit up for my wife and daughter because they loved the movie so much. I just want to do it up RIGHT for them. After 1.5k views of the post, is there no one out there in ARC land that can advise me on my original post? Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen)

All, I have a question about the Academy 1/350th scale Titanic. First off, I have the "plain jane version which did nt have any of the special edition added stuff. I picked this kit up several years ago when Hobby Lobby was running them on their "yellow tag" specials. This kit when finished will probably be only a shelf sitter for my wife and daughter because they loved the soap-opera movie. Any way, I have broke the kit open after several years of collecting dust, and the plastic rails in this kit are a joke. I would like to replace them, but I don't know which way to go. I

Lonestar Models with the Cobra Company Stuff
SonyKen replied to SonyKen's topic in General Discussion
Prayers to Mike's wife and her/his family. It seems like he has two profiles on Face Book because on one of these profiles, he has been very active lately with him talking about a re-opening. But the second profile has not been updated since Nov. 2020. No date yet as to when this will happen. Thanks for the information!! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen) -
All, Does anybody have any updates on Lonestar Models and Mike's plans to re-issue all of the Cobra Company molds that he acquired from Chris Miller? There is no mention of he Cobra stuff on Mike's/Lonestar Face Book page and his website looks like it is about to go to a new owner with no information there. Thanks for any updates! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen)

Tim, Sine the wife and I are a couple of empty nesters, the kids don't care one way or the other. My contract is for only 6 months so we are not planning any kind of big re-location at this time. However that could change depending on my contract extensions or anything like that. We will see! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen)

Jeff, Not off topic at all. As I said in an earlier post, I am going to the Southern Nuclear construction of Units 3 and 4 at Vogtle Nuclear Plant. I just so happen to have been working in the Augusta GA/North Augusta SC area way back in the late 1980's when Southern was constructing Units 1 and 2 at Vogtle. I have known of the Hobbytown USA off of Bobby Jones for several years as I have been trying to get on this project for almost 10 years. Iam planning on visiting a lot of the old places that I use to frequent when I lived down there from 1985 till late 1988. Yes, sir, that

Ash, Now there are some stuff that I had not thought about. Thanks! I am going to the Vogtle Nuclear Plant in Waynesboro, GA which is very close to the larger city of Augusta, GA. Augusta is not very far from Columbia, SC where the 2016 IPMS Nationals contest was held. So you are right, there has got to be some like minded folks near Augusta. Thanks for the suggestion!
