  1. Outstanding as always. Still no chance for a 80's-90's style Navy aviator, no G-suit, no mask, visor down ala-Blue Angel style? You guys do great work, would love one for a 1/32 scale B.A. Hornet. Bill
  2. WOW! I mean....WOW! Not sure I could say more than WOW right now. Unbelievably nice kit and you're doing a great job with it. I'd love to get one of these one day but man it's hard to justify spending quite so much at this time. But who knows in the future. You're certainly doing it justice. Bill
  3. Awesome figures as always! beautifully done. Still hoping maybe one day you guys would do a sitting Navy pilot without G-suit or mask and visor down so I could use one in a 1/32 scale Blue Angel build. Bill
  4. That's AWESOME! Certainly could be something you'd see on a Sat. afternoon 50's sci fi movie. Great job!
  5. Thanks for posting. I was able to make it for Fri. and Sat. and yes, there was some really great builds on the tables.
  6. Seems like S.A. always has a pretty good showing at the SWAMP/Calmex show, Dick Montgomery and gang are some good people!
  7. Yup. I've very very many times did something the whole time saying "I really shouldn't do it this way, I really shouldn't do it this way...." Hope I didn't offend.
  8. Great show! I used to be a member of SWAMP but moved away a little. Probably going to be there. It's a new venue they are hosting at, I believe this is just the second year in the Sulphur location but it's still really good. And yes it's true, the membership is very small so they rely on volunteers from other clubs to help judging. In my opinion, that is part of what makes it a good show as well. I do however miss the gumbo they used to be able to sell at the other venue. Highly recommended. Go the full weekend and you can go catch the Thunderbirds at the Airshow in Lake Charles on Sunday.
  9. looks really great Jon! I think some light detergent and warm water washing with a aoft swab should do it. Tamiya lacquar is pretty robust so I think you'd be safe. BTW, just for future reference, and I know everyone has their favorite technique for multi-color paint jobs. But personally If I were doing this color scheme I think I would paint the entire body the light blue color first, let that dry really well and then mask and paint the dark blue. In my opinion it makes it much easier to match up the color break. But regardless, you did an awesome job! Bill
  10. WOW! Those printed perfectly. I'm super impressed with all of this progress. Keep it up! Bill
  11. if you have access to a 3D printer, or can find someone to print one to your size specs, there are a few 3D model versions out there that might suit your needs.
  12. umm...unless I'm mistaken, or there is another MPC kit I'm not aware of, the figure and speeder bike are much larger than 1/24. Or at least the kit I had some 30 years ago was bigger. I THINK they are pretty close to the scale of the Bandai but not exactly the same.
  13. Very interesting news for real space. https://culttvman.com/main/sneak-peak-artemis-rocket-from-round-2/
  14. Thanks guys. I'm really looking forward to seeing where the newer DLP technology goes. I like the ides of not having to replace an LCD screen and it's a little less of a consumable. Hopefully the sizes and prices of those printers will start to come down. Bill
  15. Hey Dave, I have an Anycubic Mono X and am thinking of getting a smaller printer to handle smaller items. Have you ever had a chance to compare working with Elogoo vs Anycubic? It's all I've ever known so am leery going outside my comfort. BUT if the quality is there, it's there. Bill
