,,,and the Air Force may be retiring the F-22 early. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a36421838/air-force-plans-retire-f-22-raptor-downsizing-fighter-fleet/

So, apparently the pilot here shouldn't be as honored as he is... According to this, the pilot had been warned during the flight that his plane was laying smoke. Rather than landing immediately, he decided to do another circuit of the air show, at which point is engine - now lacking oil - seized. So, entirely avoidable...

Looks loaded for bear and ready to take ass and kick names! Nice job!
-
That's a great looking bash! Those super parts fit really well with it, and the colors are good too.
-
Wow, love it!
-
Since it's just a prototype, I'm sure we'll see a more refined version before long. (?)
-
Looks like we're getting a new carrier model. Really hoping it's 1/1000!

Rocker covers on, clipped wing-tips in place and cleaning up some seams. Moving along!

I'm just taking what was said at face value. Like the 'Antifa Nazi' stuff. I didn't get that at all when the character referenced Nazis in the first episode, and that phrase is pretty hard right.

Watched the first two episodes today. Because of earlier comments I was expecting some hard right fanatic stuff, but really I didn't see that at all. It was actually pretty good. Yes, the special effects aren't as polished, but I regularly watch CW shows, and they are above that bar. Didn't mind the flashbacks either as they were interesting and added to the story. Don't understand why the son was being criticized for for killing that bad guy. They were losing, had already lost three of their team and he was threatening to blow all the rest up. I'm all for criminals standing trial for Justice, but sometimes you gotta make the hard call. I'll be in for watching some more.

@peter A plus about using mismatched parts is that you can model a Valk that had an arm or leg replaced from a machine with a different color. Like the B-17's that had wing or fuselage swap-outs,

Thankfully, she is in for preservation and not restoration. Too much history to erase there!
-
Great! Can't wait to see more of your progress. As to here or the other thread, I'd say leave it as its own thread. 'What's Lying On You Workbench' feels more like a glimpse of current projects, rather than an in-depth look at one.

Got this image off another site. It's the Hero T-70 from RoS going into the Smithsonian. Check who is sitting one space over...

So, now we really know what happened to Minmay. She got trapped in your diorama!! Looks very cool though. I'm sure she's quite happy there.

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Thom replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
That is super cool! -
@pengbuzz You wrapped it up all pretty-like! That base looks great, and I'm glad that it is so stable. @joscasle Wow, that /48 Valk is a large bird. Quite the good canvas for a good paint job.
-
I enjoyed it. It's based on one of the series of books I am interested in reading. A nice collection of characters, where none of them left me wondering when it was going to get back to the 'good parts' seeing as most of them were good parts. I felt the ending could have been a bit more 'climactic' though.
-
@peter Ouch! sometimes, they must be retired to Static-Display Status. Rather than a Gate Guard, you can call it a Shelf Guard. As for the B-17, do a Bait-n-Switch. Talk up the 1/32 like you can't live without it, then say you'll 'settle' for the new 1/48 version!
-
Cockpit going together. Since the canopy is going to be closed, I stayed with the kit instrument panel, but sanded it thinner, drilled out the holes and put the dial decals on a thin sheet of stryene which was then glued to the back.
-
I think that would look really cool.
-
@peter Those are some good looking VFs! Loved those posed shots. @pengbuzz Love that last shot! Real nice work. Brought her home in fine fashion!
-
Aah! A dastardly Klingon Thumb Attack! Quite brazen of them. But you certainly repaired it in fine fashion. Sorry to hear the Hornet was a loss though. I'm doing a Spitfire for a GB, and have messed up three times already on simple things, and have substituted a pair of upper wings and now whole fuselage halves! Sometimes I wonder why I do it, as I rarely feel relaxed from a build. Can't seem to stop though! Don't stay away for long! Dang, nice looking paint!
