Thanks for everything, everyone. If you read my last update, you'll understand that it has been pretty busy around the household. Our little guy finally decided to make his appearance on November 17, fashionably late; as is the family tradition. Contrary to popular opinion, I have been able...

https://youtu.be/uIPS4LyveJs It's been a while, but I returned to the table a week or two ago now that the weather outside is starting to be frightful! It's been an exciting summer to say the least. In short, here's what's happened since my last update. Vacationed with the family to Cuba...

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies Thanks! It's been a very long road, but I think we're actually making progress now :) Thanks, that's what I thought, the two Vallejo's seem to play very nicely with each other, I sprayed a spoon the other week with both colors and was pretty...

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies A bit of a non-update, but an important one for future reference seekers. I (again) haven't been able to spend much time at the table with family vacations and such, but as I posted at the beginning of the month, I sprayed the Aggressor Gray...

Wow. It looks really nice, especially for such a diminutive example. But be honest with us, is it a plane for ants? http://youtu.be/7ffj8SHrbk0

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies Well. It's been a bit since I've gotten enough work to get an update together. Over the last month and a half I've had a few chances to steal away a few hours here and there; culminating with today's major milestone. I have struggled with the...

F-15A (Late) - 5th FIS That looks fantastic! I had a horrible experience with Humbrol paint years ago (like 20+) and I've stupidly avoided them ever since. How did it spray, and what did you thin it with?

Seriously nice work. Your progress will force me to chain myself to the table for a few hours this weekend though.

It looks amazing so far. I need some of that wire for my stash!

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies Thanks. It's taken a long time to get where I want to be. I don't know why we do this to ourselves; it's almost masochistic.

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies Thanks Luiz, I can't wait to get some colour on there. It seems like the light is at the end of the tunnel. Thanks! This is all I have to say in return: http://youtu.be/W8RbYqZnFvE It's funny, with all the research I've been doing with this...

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies Well then. My Christmas vacation was a write off at the bench, but I got to spend lots of time with the family; so that was great. Several weeks ago I sprayed what I thought was my final primer. Apparently my body work skills aren't what I...

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies I think this kit is going to be my Waterloo. As shown above, this kit has a number of issues with the accuracy of the kit, but I with the assistance of the above list, most of them have been overcome. Finally, I have installed Wolfpack's awesome...

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies So, in my never ending quest to never finish a kit during my natural life, I have been researching the inconsistencies of the Tamiya F-15C and this is where I found the most comprehensive list...

1/48 Tamiya Douglas Skyraider What a beautiful kit of an incredible machine. I'm sure you'll do it justice.

I'm jealous! I've always wanted to make the cross country trip to our own Targa Newfoundland, but time is always at a premium and driving 38 each way is a tough. So, since it ended yesterday, let's see some pictures.

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies I had to put some home renovations on hold so I could borrow the tools. :bangs head When I saw that, I wasn't actually too far away from pulling out the BFH and finishing the model once and for all. You have no idea how often I hear that...

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies Thank you. To be honest, that fuselage gap is part of the reason I hung up my X-acto knife for the summer. It was daunting to look at after spending hundreds of dollars between the base kit and detail sets. Thank you very kindly, that's very...

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies I know. I'll post pictures later showing me using 6" C-clamps to ensure the fuselage top stayed settled when I glued it up. Disconcerted to say the least, and a real motivation sap. Indeed, hopefully most of it is behind me now, but we'll see...

New build 1:32 Tamiya F-15C with lots of goodies Well, back at it for another season so it seems. After my last update, I went downstairs to fuse the fuse, and what an effin' mess it was. To say the gaps were large is an understatement. See the attached link for an aerial view of the gaps...
