I saw what a silk purse you made out of the old Sow's Ear Bentley Blower kit. I believe you can do it! You just have to decide if you want to. Can YOU be happy with your results?

Oh! Hey, The Blackhawks had a club table! Displaying built models that had been awarded before. Have a look! Duane's Easy-8 Sherman is well made! Tom's '29 (?) Ford wrecker is an eye-pleaser! I really liked Blackhawk club president Tom Piper's 1/24 Dodge Demon. Doug's 1/72 VF-1 Wolfpack...

Awards, including the Don Long Memorial award. Don is responsible for helping many of the Blackhawk modelers get started and hone thier skills. Mrs. Long and her daughter presented Don's award to Donald (whose name last I don't recall). No so different from our own Gil Wheeler Judges Grand...

Dioramas. The 1/35 Kugelpanzer workshop and vignette was pretty neat! Big airplanes. All other airplanes, 1/72 and 1/48 scale. Frank Miller's 1/72 VF-1 F-14A Tomcat "Wichita 101" was stunning! 6 categories for automotive. The '56 Chrylsler in "Factory Stock" was a beauty, but it didn't...

Sallying forth 1440 hrs 20 September from NAS White Oak, the Shocking Pink Surgeons hope ot arrive in Mount Pleasant 1700-ish. We checked in at the Best Western and went to supper at The Press Box. I had "The Special". Chicken fried steak, questionable gravy and yummy tater tots. I paid for my...

Raffle wins! Teresa actually won 14 prizes, but we gave the last 2 winning tickets to a youngster. All these kits are for sale! (Except for the USCG HH-35A Dolphin. That one is MINE!) The Monogram 1/48 B-24J Liberator has no decals, but 1/48 Kits World "The Dragon and His tail" decals are on...

Why would the drop-tank be dented/dirty? You dump it when it's empty, and get a new one every time. Those green hydraulic lines on the 109 stand out like a turd in punchbowl, don't they? I don't trust a guy that doesn't show how he did it.

Very cool so far! I wondered about what color the rubber was. :good:

A few entries making their contest debut. Ready for Hawkcon show fun! USCGC Active got her flags and stern hull numbers. Antelope got her Nova Scotia flag this morning and is ready to sail for the East! Expect to see The Samurai Bathtub, Ron's Bunnies, and a few other favorites! The first...

There's a 1/72 JoHan P-40B/C kit in there somewhere! I KNOW THERE IS!

@jknaus? He did the 1/1 Halligan bar kit for my niece' wedding gift. It was amazing!

The Blackhawk Modelers Society of Yarmouth, Iowa is presenting their annual model contest. This will occur in Mount Pleasant Iowa on Saturday, 21 September. The Blackhawks have been ardent supporters of SurgiCon for a long time, so I feel some Quid Pro Quo is in order. This will be our...

Yep! I put all the cool 1/72 Arma Hobby and Dora Wings kits on tlarmodels.com I cain't believe how much these models retail for anymore!

Rick is looking over the burner cans. Alclad gunmetal with Alclad steel misted from front to back. A swiping of pencil lead powder and metalizer sealer. They are a little dark, but I like them. Done! I must rethink my main gear door strategy. I keep bumping them and knocking them off. A...

I wonder sometimes, if the new, exciting kits are overly complex. I ordered Arma Hobby's P-39 Airacobra. The detail is amazing. Every possible part is separate. P/E and 3d printed stuff in it too. I think I will likely build an Academy model of the same airplane. Sometimes too much detail...

Sad news indeed. I was confused at first, because you are a Tony too. I never saw his blog. Had he been sick or was his passing swift and painless?

"My Dad has this awesome set of tools, dude."

Did the German Army not paint the sandgelb over the panzer gray before shipping Rommel's vehicles to Afrika?

Rick Raccoon is giving the TOPGUN Maver-egg F/A18E Silly Hornet a looking over. He seems a little skeptical but hasn't voiced any misgivings so far. The aftermarket decals included side panels. The kit decals for the unpowered LCD screens are purple-ish looking. I cain't say about the...

Bravo! Well done, Indeed! :notworthy
