Spongebob Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Almost a year to build with a deployment, followed by much chaos (work and life) in between start and finish.

Karl Sander Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Nice work Spongebob. Stupid deployments really sort of mess up the building rhythm - to say nothing of football/baseball games missed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spongebob Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Thanks Karl, It's hard to get back into modeling rhythm when you get back...too much other stuff involved with re-starting your life that sidetracks you. Spongebob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Finished rebuilding/redetailing/repainting the half-scratchbuilt ejection seats in both F9F Panthers in my 1/72 VF-61 collection. Now if I could just figure out the overhead ejection handle color for the FJ-3.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I was going to be "permanently" landlocked as I'm short, but true to form I got lied to and I have one more "detachment" left. Seems the free world is predicted to collapse if I don't go...

Spongebob If you watch enough news or talk shows, you could become convinced that it wouldn't necesarily be a bad thing if it DID collapse... :P (not exactly a motivating thought at 5 in the morning, but what are you gonna do - gotta afford models and motorcycle parts SOMEHOW).

Old Blind Dog Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Just finished a very intense build; I took the old Monogram '37 Ford Tudor hotrod and retro-fitted it as a factory stock model borrowing parts from several other 1/24th and 1/25th kits. I stretched the frame from the Revell '40 Ford Standard Coupe kit about 1/4 inch, scratch-built the exhaust sytem aft of the muffler, and did as much "retro" detailing as I could to the interior and engine compartment. A lot of hard (and sometimes very frustrating) work, but ultimately quite satisfying! Now, what should I build next????? I'm thinking something from my 1/72 aircraft stash. . .
