jim.skinner Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Still can't believe that my wife's waters broke in the hours after finishing this 6 month build. Family has been at home for 8 days now, and we are going along pretty well. I took the opportunity to snap a few shots of the model whilst getting my camera gear out for the baby, so lets call these my final pics. Good from afar, but far from good :lol:/> All jokes aside, here are the gritty details Hope you like it! Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jfmajor60 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Excellent!!! I assume this is the Monogram kit? what about the decals what did you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jim.skinner Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks for the feedback kind sirs. Excellent!!! I assume this is the Monogram kit? what about the decals what did you use? yerp, 'tis the old revellogram kit. The decals are just the kit issue, and they were actually quite nice to work with. Maybe slightly thick, but that just stops sloppy fools like me from tearing them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jinxter13 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 :jaw-dropping: When I first hit the online forums, some of the first kits I saw in the finished build forums were Flying Forts, and they were magnificent...this one is second to none of those, it is in a word outstandingly Spectacular...Ok two words :D .

sluggo2u Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Congrats on the baby! Nice work there. Had to bring on a special smily for such an accomplishment. I've been working on that kit for about 12 years. Never seems to make it past the test fit stage.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rm20886 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Great job building your B-17. I went back through your WIP and had some good laughs with Yoda. Congratulations on the new addition to your family! I'm looking forward to seeing your next build. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
