GEH737

Really nice looking - well done :)

I like that idea a lot. I think the landing platform gives you opportunity to have lights in the ship shinning down, and lights in the base shinning up. Plus, you've got the ability to conceal power cables. The only issue (it seems) would be size. And we knew that when we started this project :)

A little color correction

The original file I have of that photo was 828Kb. It wouldn't take it, or resize it automatically. As the box below says - Max size 0.1Mb. I resized it in Photoshop to 96Kb - didn't mess with the dimensions. I dragged it from my desktop to the box below with the paper clip and it displayed as shown above. Hitch

Test

I'll have to give that a try.

I'll probably have to pick up a few of those... :)

I can assure my Aussie friends that this was no rounded beak dove... At 20 inches long, the blood, sinew and feathers formed as one aerodynamic shape with a single goal in mind. As the evil prey bent over in the garden, little did she know that Hell was about to be unleashed on her. With its razor sharp talons extended - it swooped down assuming the attack position. The only thing missing was the Stuka wailing siren... The attack was relentless, the sounds primitive... The talons clutching the long blonde hair, the pointed beak thrusting at her unusually thick skull. With his talons ensna

I love Magpies... True story; One repeatedly would attack my ex-wife when we were out in the yard in Salt Lake City... I can only surmise that they have the ability to sense evil... :)

I enjoyed the memoir of John Glenn - it really showed a lot of insight into why he was the right guy at the right time to do what he did. I was fortunate enough to have him on one of my flights before his Shuttle flight. We got to talk for a bit after we got to Orlando. I had him sign the flight plan - and consider it an honor to have met him. "First Man" - the biography of Neil Armstrong is not an easy read - but it's an absolutely fascinating insight into why he was absolutely the perfect guy for the job. The stars truly had to be perfectly aligned with his background. He really was a

The Bandai Star Wars kits are a really nice modelling experience. Very relaxing...

My moment of understanding the value of my hobby happened after a few people I knew passed away - one of whom was a very dear friend and model builder. I used to measure my success in life by getting all my "lists" completed (including models). When looking upon their unfinished lives, it occurred to me that I'm never going to finish all my projects either. So - instead of focusing on the completion factor - I simply try to enjoy the time I am able to manage without worrying about the final result as much as I used to. I wound up with a bunch of my friends models - including an unfinished

Like Jay - I was on board from pretty early on. No problems with orders, missing or duplicates. The only issue I had was when my credit card date expired - and they didn't notify me. After not getting an order in quite awhile - I called them and had to straighten it out. Other than that, it's been pretty smooth. George

Please ARC - set up a "Safe Space" so all the special snowflakes will be free of harm... :)

Do you need to punch all the way through the decal sheet - or just enough to break the surface carrier layer? Seems like punching all the way through would scratch / mar the markings themselves.

Nice work - I was wondering about the decals - wasn't looking forward to all that masking... I'll be using them on mine :)

Really well done!!! The wings are a great touch :)

One of the most incredible aircraft - ever. The first one I saw was an F-15B (71-0290) at Edwards AFB in 1977. I'd seen a lot growing up around Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, but when that jet performed a vertical takeoff - it completely changed what I wanted to do with the rest of my life... The vertical shot isn't that great - but it was the first time I ever really understood what awesome meant.

I was an extra in the first episode. I was in pilot training at Laughlin AFB in 1983 when they filmed that. They used some of our instructors for the opening T-38 scene. Our section was on "early week" - so as some of us were done for the day - and we were asked if we'd like to be extras. It sounded like fun - so they took us over to a hangar, put U-2 patches on us and Craig Nelson did his lines from a big speech. And he was terrible... I don't know what his issue or problem was - but he couldn't get out a few lines without screwing it up - it was painful. We all knew his lines before h

For me - it seems like using Squadron / Acryl Blue / or Mr. Surfacer all have the same problem - I have a never ending problem with "ghost seams". I like to use Tamiya primer - and have been told that the lacquer base of that is softening the putty leaving the ghost seams. I've tried "Perfect Putty" - but don't like that you can't wet-sand it. Mr. Surfacer seems to still leave the gap - and builds up a ridge on either side. Letting it sit a bit - wiping it off with alcohol - works ok - but once again - ghost seams, and it still needs multiple applications. Watched some online videos about

Bill - I've put my interior stuff on hold for now. I'm waiting to see what else becomes available. I think we're looking at it more critically close up, as individual pieces. I think when you get it all in place - wall lights, computer fiber optics and anything else that we know is there from the movie will fit the bill nicely. Much of this stuff won't be as clearly seen on the finished model, and our eyes will fill in the blanks with what we remember seeing on screen. My friend (who's also building one of these) - have talked a lot about how much were trying to get all the details right

Great work - well done! :)

Back row, 7th from right - on a deployment in Turkey. Not a good look...

The young Lieutenant is very much honored to have his jet on one of your decals Kursad - my deepest thanks and appreciation!!! Some fun facts. A young Lt. Murphy (also on ARC) was also a "Bonehead". The 95th had a very long and storied history before we showed up. While we were there at Tyndall AFB, the 95th was the largest squadron in Tactical Air Command, had the most jets, the most pilots and flew the most hours and numbers of sorties. It was a great first assignment. After the T-Birds retired, the 95th then transitioned to the F-15 Eagle, and is currently flying the F-22 Raptor. The

My sincere condolences Murph - your father obviously set very high standards, and you have every right to be extremely proud. Hitch
