Hi Elmo Not enough words in all the world's languages can adequately describe your level of detail, accurate workmanship and altruism in sharing your skills with all of us here. What strikes me most is how you manage to cut those differently shaped members of each detail part that you build so cleanly and accurately. God Bless you for that and Thanks. Regards Alex

Hi Chuck to say that your work is inspirational would simply be the understatement of the century. Add to that, the patience and dedication you show in sharing your knowledge and skills, not only in modelling, but other ancillary subjects, such as photography, makes you the Best. Thanks and please keep this wealth flowing. God Bless You. Alex

Hi Chuck Congrats on finishing this build. To say that it was a pleasure to follow you through this, would be a gross understatement so I'll simply say, Thanks for having taken the time to provide us with so many tips and opportunities to learn from your experiences, at the same time as entertaining us with your high modelling skills and results. Truly Amazing. Whilst looking forward to your next build, may I take the opportunity to wish you, your family and all your loved ones, a Merry Christmas and a most Prosperous New Year. From Malta, the small but sunny island in the Mediterranean...

Belated Happy Birthday Chuck. Beautiful Eagles. Awesome Pictures.....I was wondering...are you collecting references for a future F-15 build :whistle:/>/>/> ? Best wishes from Malta Alex PS. I took your advice and bought myself the Rivet Master Beading tool from UMM. It is truly a great tool for riveting and guess what....the tools even fit in my MR Hobby Riveting tool, albeit rather longer that the ones supplied with the tool itself- However if used carefully, the twist action of the Mr Hobby Tool will not be hindered in any way by the extra length of the Rivet Master tools.

Awesome work, finish and detail. May I suggest a little more weathering that will certainly enhance the model especially around the nozzles and bare metal areas in the back. That area does seem a bit too clean, shall we say. The same goes for the insides of the air-brake wells and the wheel wells. These generally attract a lot of grime and dirt. However, sir, that is up to your discretion. It certainly does not detract any of the fine level of craftsmanship that you've attained with this build. I especially love the riveting work - I am doing the same to a 1/32 F-5 and it's got me worn out -

Hi Chuck Thanks again for taking the time to explain so patiently. I can see that it takes more than one try to get the wanted results, whatever tool is used. The Mega Tool seems quite versatile and as for the RB Productions riveter, I too can vouch that they are superb in providing a good initial guide. Obviously in scales like 1:32nd you need to deepen the rivets produced to obtain the desired effect. Thanks again Chuck. I'll be looking for your further updates in this magnificent build and for future projects. Alex

Hi Duncan you wouldn't expect me to miss such a masterpiece in the making, would you? Apart from the fact that it's like going to class with all the in-depth tutorials that Chuck so generously provides . Come on ....time to see your hog come together following this build. Good luck Alex

Hi Chuck I am truly amazed at your attention to detail and of your skills at attaining that fine level of detail in your modelling. Thanks also for sharing your knowledge in such a way as to inspire anyone to learn and in doing so, better their skills. The last pictures of the front of the a-10 and also of the Phantom (when you were discussing the 50/50 Future/Windex mix) that you posted made me come forward for the first time on this forum and if you don't mind I'd like to ask you for some advice. This regarding riveting (obviously not the Archer ones - :coolio:/> ). I had purchased t

Hi Guys whilst on the subject, I'm trying to gather up information about the RN Sea King AEW2 or ASaC7. I have a project in mind to build the Hasegawa Sea King + Flightpath detail set for the AEW2 with an opened troop door and therefore showing the detail inside the cabin. Would anyone kindly help me by providing any information, written or preferably in picture form of the arrangement that one can find in the cabin (i.e in the back area where I know that radar equipment and operator's console are set) of this Sea King type. I managed to get some info from http://www.primeportal.net/hangar

Hi to everyone Please help!! I am planning to build the AEW version of the Sea King in 1/48th. I have both the Revell and the Hasegawa offerings together with the Cutting Edge shortened sponsons, the Flightpath conversion set (with the deflated radome etc) and the Model Alliance decal sheet for UK Sea Kings. I wish to open up the right hand cabin door and construct the radar units to which the large side deflated radome is connected together obviously with the rest of the interior details. I have sifted through Airliners.net, Jetphotos.net, did endless searches on Google etc, for possib
