Great report and congratulations!!! Well deserved. Some good looking models there....but is it bad that the drool started with the last two pics of the Charger? LOL

Well, Moon wanted to see pics, and it's finally 100% done and I was able to get some pics. So here they are. This was built as part of a skills contest with another club member. The challenge...same kit, same options from the kit, same color, NO AFTERMARKET, and only scratch built details...

Ok, here are a few better pics of the one I built.

Still slowly working on the Yamato and finishing up a highly detailed 1970 Super Bee

Oh yeah, I should also note....while we had 2 months to get it done [9/8-11/3]....I completely forgot about it until Halloween! :) So I started mine Saturday morning, 11/1, and finished it Sunday morning, 11/2. Because...why spend two months to build a model, when it's so much more fun to build...

Ok...So, for those who know our club, here are the members: BACK ROW: Kevin Iutzeler, Nick Miranda, Ed Sarnecki, Doug Sturtz, Ed Buckley FRONT ROW: Kent Kirkpatrick, John Maxwell, Mark Johnson, Rob Folden [me, Viper] A couple things to mention. Kevin masked out the flame job. Kent blacked...

Hey gang, I've been MIA for a while, but finally got a chance to get back on and post some of the stuff I've been working on. More to come later. For this post, I share with you the results of our local model club build. The IPMS Hawkeye Modelers found ourselves with a surplus of...

Sneaks in???? Oh, I think not. The drones picked you up 500 miles from base. We've been watching you.

Ok. New pics. This is the forward secondary turret. Again, lots of PE and brass barrels. And here is a close up of the aft deck crane and catapults.

thanks guys. More to come. I just finished the first of the two secondary gun turrets. It was a royal PITA!

I should point out....that PE on the sheet at the end of my thumb....are the same parts on the back of the main gun turrets.

Now, I started back into this about 2 weeks ago now. What have I accomplished? Finishing the gun emplacements on the deck, and the main guns.

Now here are some of the shots of the start of the photoetch. These are still from 2010. you can easily figure out why I shelved her for 4 years. First up....the tools. A close up of some of the PE [my thumb for scale] One of the MANY gun tubs. Note the VERY small corner braces. I had to...

Well, after hearing "Is the Yamato finished?" enough from the local clubs, I decided to start working on her again. I started by reacquainting myself with Fujimi photoetch, and built the 1/700 IJN Chitose. Then I dove back in. This is the Fujimi 1/500 IJN Yamato, 1945 final version. This is...

Sorry it took so long [Mike did talk to me about it a while ago], but I am in!!! Vote #10

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that a FULL HULL!!!!!! Chris, are you feeling ok?

LOL. Rhino, we've been over this. Its a myth. They never made it. But if you REALLY want one, I will photoshop a box for you, print it up, you can stick an old Airfix kit in it, and then you will have the only one ever to exist. :P

Well, This has been finished a while now, but I'm just finally getting round to posting pictures of it. I can't remember if I finished within the time frame or not.

Either that or Mark from Graveyard Carz. That man is my hero!

Well, the body is painted, and if I can get some time to finish the chrome work, its done. I have half the chrome done, then its just putting the final little touches on. Oh...and respraying the roof. :(
