It's scary. 376862[/snapback] I know, great isn't it? I stumbled upon this image while googling and couldn't resist using it for an avatar. HWR MKII, would you like to use my old Monster avatar?

Sdf-1 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 HWR, that X-wing is out of this world. It looks exactly like the original props/models. Incredible weathering. Glad that you were able to continue work on that beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWR MKII Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Got more weathering done. I did some postshading on the fuselage and wings and some drybrushing on the engins to pop the detail more. The kit literally falls together and ANY assembly issues are covered by the instructional CD that comes with it. Watch the videos on the CD before construction it actually keeps you from making a wing alignment mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memnon Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) I don't have the patience or skills to do model building. Man I wish I had a dollar every time I heard that You CAN do it! Nice work on the X-Wing HWR. Edited March 6, 2006 by memnon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I wish I had a dollar every time I heard that You CAN do it! 377008[/snapback] Yeah, lol.I wouldn't have the patience either, but I just don't care! Seriously, that's just a skill that can be slowly improved. I'm myself working on it. And concentration etc, in addition to actual model building skills. If you really want to, you can start to learn building model kits any day! Nobody has the skills before they learn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 HWR MKII That is some trully fantastic work! Well I told myself that I wasn't going to post in this thread 'cus My stuff just aint up to par . . . but here I go anyway. This is going to be a fixed pose Hase. VF-1S Strike Gerwalk costom. (If I ever finish it) Now it got a little banged around on the trip from Canada so the paint is a little chipped but here it is anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) No more space in the stash for new kits. No more room on the shelves for the half-done kits I'm working on. (That F-15E's been 70% done for a half-year now, it currently sits on the floor next to my stereo--some day I'll feel like doing the engines, gear, weapons, and canopy) No more room under the bed or couch for the "reserve" stash. So what do I do? Buy the biggest new model I can! It's the American way. (VF-1 for scale) Edited March 10, 2006 by David Hingtgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Memmon: that looks realy interesting (and kinda wierd!) what the hell are those? fiber-optic cables? Noyhauser: I knda thought I'd do a bastardized version of the Jolly-Roger's coloud scheme. Nothing quite as thought out as what your going for just "winging it" (ha-ha ) David: What the hell man! If I was in your position (storage space wise) and did that my wife would FREAK OUT! and I'd be sleeping on the roof for like a week! What scale is that anyway? like 1/24th or something. that is just nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadefalconguard Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 1/32nd scale I guess. Now be carefull I've ended up with the Trumpeter A10 with three updatesets; a 1/35th scale Blackhawk from MRC and the Trumpeter 1/35th Hind and still no time to build The boxes just get bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memnon Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Memmon: that looks realy interesting (and kinda wierd!) what the hell are those? fiber-optic cables? Nope, those are just silver colored wires found in braid for coaxial cable which is a great source for thin wires by the way. A 2 foot piece of RG6 quad shield coax cable will last you for years. I do have some even thinner wire, meant for wrapping transformers. I plan on using some of that was well.

So what do I do? Buy the biggest new model I can! It's the American way. (VF-1 for scale) I know *exactly* what you mean. I have quite an impressive stash, I'll never be able to build them all (mostly WW2 aircraft), so what did I do last week? I brought home a VF-0S kit. I explained to the Mrs. that my local hobby shop (Best One Hobby in Alhambra) will no longer be carrying Hasegawa's Macross series so I needed to get it while I could. She was less than happy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked around for a little while for paint schemes, found that one. Mine doesn't look half as good as yours, the black stripe with the 001 is a nice touch, one I may try to replicate.

David Hingtgen Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The new 1/32 jets just rock, having one of them is far better than having a bunch of 1/72 or 1/48 ones. You get a big smile just opening and seeing all that plastic, and the 40 page manual. And the screwdriver included. It's one of those things that just having it is as good as actually using/building. If there's ever a new 1/32 F-14, Skull Leader and I are financially doomed. 1/24 is becoming more popular for props, but almost unheard of for jets---only 1/24 jet I know is the Airfix Sea Harrier, and that's partly because the Harrier is tiny. Still waiting for a 1/32 F-8, that is IMHO the most likely for the next 1/32 jet.

I also get all the photo etch sets from Eduard for them. The color cockpit ones are so awesome. I didn't want to fork over the extra cash for the Tamiya kit so I got the Academy one which got good reviews as well. Oh and then squadron was having a sale on the Revell 1/72 U-boat for $50 bucks so I just ordered that along with a bunch of cutaway interior detail sets and the photo etch for that one as well. Then I threw in the 1/72 Snowberry destroyer cuz I just "had to have that one too". Fortunately I've got a two car garage to store it all. Yes yes I have a problem I'm seeking help for it Edited March 12, 2006 by Grayson72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
