Model Forum / General / Models / January 2008Model ideas for 2008
You show up at the IMPS contest lugging some of these along. Strange French weapon designs: http://modelarchives.free.fr/Bestiaire/index.html You can show the invading Wehrmacht forces facing this in 1/72 scale: http://modelarchives.free.fr/Bestiaire/Avalanche_P/index.html They wouldn't be expecting to have to battle a 300-foot-wide steel egg that's rolling over them, crushing them like little gray ants. Any survivors could be dealt with by Varlet tanks: http://modelarchives.free.fr/Bestiaire/Skeltank_P/index.html Pat > You show up at the IMPS contest lugging some of these along. > Strange French weapon designs: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Any survivors could be dealt with by Varlet tanks: > http://modelarchives.free.fr/Bestiaire/Skeltank_P/index.html Not so different in many respects from the British version of the M3! :p) (kim) > You show up at the IMPS contest lugging some of these along. > Strange French weapon designs: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Pat My idea at present is just to finish a model that's on my bench...any model that's on my bench.

Regards SiG. I entirely agree. I've completed only one model this year and I'm embarrassed to admit that I started it twenty years ago. There's no chance that I'll get any modelling done in January but I must try to finish off some uncompleted models this year and, with luck, start and finsih something completely new. Best of luck in 2008.

I have a bunch of plastic wrenches that we used to use to remove K&E pen tips for cleaning that look just like those wheels, and all I need are four. Oh well, it's a thought. Unreal stuff like this doesn't really interest me that much, back to my Junkers Luft '46 Amerika bomber that was to be used to drop the atom bomb on Washington DC......

All were vignettes or dioramas, so that's really more than one model each, right? :-)As mentioned elsewhere I dropped everything else for a "what if" Ryan Twin-Fuselage NYP to be called the "Spirit of Minneapolis/ St.Paul" (twin cities, get it?). Progressing nicely. The Hawk 1/72 scale kit remains a fine-fitting kit with almost no flash after so many decades. Virtually no cockpit interior leaves room for lots of "If it looks right" detailing. This is fun!!!Tom On Jan 2, 1:52 am, "maies...@netscape.com" <maies...@netscape.com> wrote: > On Jan 1, 9:39 am, The Old Man <Braung...@verizon.net> wrote:> On Dec > 31 2007, 6:54 pm, Pat Flannery <flan...@daktel.com> wrote:> > > You [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > many decades. Virtually no cockpit interior leaves room for lots of > "If it looks right" detailing. This is fun!!!Tom I know that kit! I used one a buncha years ago to hack into a Ryan Brougham. Shortened the wings by a scale 6 feet (easy) and carved open the cockpit area (not so easy) and mounted glazing. Had an in-line engine left over from the Greenbank Castle Ryan M-1, so I mounted that and used generic number decals for the registration. As you said, it was fun! Happy New Year. |
