It got tooth-ified!

For me, yeah as I have access to tiny screws, BUT why go through the effort of drilling holes and finding screws when it is easier to get some wire, mod the end of it, heat it a bit and brand the "screw" into the part.

Thanks Tim! Your 1/16th scale build is what inspired me to get this one going. Thanks Gary

Saúl, they made the kit as 1/32 scale, not 1/35th so it is a little larger than most other Cobra kits. Not sure why, or what the reasoning was/is on it. Anyway, yeah there will be decals left over on it. "When" I get around to building it. Now off to build on a large half-track.

Your Falcon turned out quite nice Mark!

Turned out quite nice Greg!

I have the Special Hobby 1/32 scale AH-1G Cobra kit and it has a SEA camo scheme as one of the options. I already decided that was going to be the way it was going to be built. Thanks for all the postings Saúl!

Working tiny is our specialties Doc Alex. As a watchmaker I can appreciate the amount of fine work you have to do when saving those young lives.

Couldn't stand it so I started cutting some plastic on it tonight. With as many large sprues as this kit has I did some organizing prep work that I think is going to make a BIG difference. As I have no cats, dogs, or rodents, I am not worried about parts getting moved around before I...

Looking good Mark! You are getting a heat wave and our temps have dropped down to the upper 80's with 70's in the mornings.

Here is my next build. Have been looking forward to starting this (which is also why I finished up the Pak 40 in record time). I added a couple of photos to the end of that build pointing out some more mods I did. Hopefully this one won't need as many corrections. I thought about doing the 8...

OK folks I added in the other two photos to the end of the previous post. Now I am moving to the support vehicle for this beastie.

You still got it across the finish line John. It is still a decent looking build. Once you get some more weathering done, it will be fairly impressive.

Looking really good Alex! Your painting skills seem to be improving,

Here are the mods and corrections. And this one that is in the previous post which makes 28 modifications. IF I did the correction between the gun mount and carriage it would be more as the mount should be about 1/16th higher off the carriage than it is. Edit - Here are...

OK folks, this is a big one! She's singing so you know what that means. :bigrin: Here are the photos along with a listing of ALL the mods and fixes I did. I missed one major fubar that they did. and have a fix for it, but not going to go back and change a bunch of stuff to get that one...

Sorry to hear about what your mom is going through. Several years ago a retired lady here in Memphis allowed some guy to move in. He blew through her $140k on a ton of models and stuff. The local hobby shop sold off a bunch of it for her but she lost a LOT of her savings. It's sad that folks...

Sounds like you had a fabulous time! Does Teresa ever do the Mega Lotto's. I would suspect she has more of a chance at that than the rest of us poor shlubs put together. As of now I am starting to plan on being at the Nationals in Ft Wayne IN next year. Should be doable for me with a year to...

I can do a 6 hour drive one way easy, have done it many times. Seven hours if it is something I "REALLY" want to go to. Anything east of Knoxville is not going to happen for a 1 day event.
