Model Forum / General / Models / February 2010Super Bowl Modeling Plans ??
I pl;an to do lots of sub assembly work while the game is on. The RevMo Devastator and Do335 on in the lineup as well as a Tamiya Stuart. A great time to do seam work on figures as well. I look up every now and then to see what the score is and check out the commercials... Craig > I pl;an to do lots of sub assembly work while the game is on.

At least I'm taking pic's through this build. Right now there has been a lot of plastic and resin grinding going on and a base coat of cockpit color. Still a long ways to go.........

And even then, I gave up after 917's faded away.... I do have two nice 917 kit's tho. One resin and one plastic :) (also have a Gunzye Sangyo Ferrari 250 GTO) 917's were always my favorite race cars.

Player is a cigarette company - like a lot of the sponsors were at the time. I've built two of those - I have one of the 1/12 JPS 72D kits in my stash now, and a partially completed Mk.III. The Tamiya F1 kits are the best...even for Tamiya, IMO. The I have a number of the 1/20 ones too - including another Mk.III. I'm a Lotus fan. ...but the grail of the big Tamiya cars was/is the Lola T-70 Mk.III...MAN, was that a kit! I did one of those as a teen, too. Wish I could get my hands on another one. And another of the first two 1/12 McLaren releases. Signature- Rufus Rufus wrote the following: >>>> AM wrote the following: >>>>>>> Same here.

Colin Chapman's cleverness was to make his cars resemble the cigarette packets as closely as possible. So much so that he was on one occasion complimented for having had cigarettes produced that matched his cars! JPS are an awful long way away from Navy Cut. > JPS are an awful long way away from Navy Cut. Yeah I know, they are no where nearly as good.... Well, I actually did watch the superbowl, don't know why, except that there was good company, and alcohol involved... And there is now plow through our street still... I will be making up for my lack of modeling today :) (at least 99.99% of resin cutting/grinding is finished) SignatureAM http://sctuser.home.comcast.net http://www.novac.com If it's Sunday I'll be here listening to WOGL "Streetcorner Sunday."

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > http://www.novac.com That happened here in Western New York a couple of years back. A nasty surprise storm in OCTOBER dumped about 18" on us and brought down beau coups powerlines with it. We didn't have power for a week. Fortunately we have a wood burner and had plenty of firewood. Lighting was by oil lamps and the only radio was an old battery operated. Now I have a honkin' generator so that's all a thing of the past. The worst was the 6" of water in the basement (no power for the sump pump) and two dead refrigerators full of food...... Stay warm!

Still no plow, so my car goes no where. SignatureAM http://sctuser.home.comcast.net http://www.novac.com : I look up every now and then to see what the score is and check out : the commercials... I could probably build my 1/72 Baynes Bat and paint it during the stupor bowel. Instead I'll likely be busy painting parts for my HB LVTP-7, DML Ersatz M-10 and PzTrWg 51. Looks to me like the PanzerTriebwagon 51 has a cupola dead center, and perhaps vision blocks? I think I'm going to find a replacement cupola that has actual vision blocks, rather than deal with the molded lumps that I suspect are supposed to represent vision blocks. My Model Expo portable painting booths arrived today, so I'll be giving one of them a whirl. Hopefully I can now start painting indoors, rather than in my (blazing hot in the summer) garage.

I'd sure like to know the *bounce factor* of carpet. I dropped the instrument panel for my F 16 (an unpainted PE part) and it took a hour to find it. Though it dropped right between my feet, it traveled almost three feet sideways !! Sheesh, I almost couldn't believe it...

Now days, when I drop something small, I shine a flashlight right down along the floor. Any small parts cast a long, easily seen shadow.

Normally, I find other more interesting things to do. But as a life long Saints fan, missing this SB would be like the Faithful missing the Rapture - or if the Saints' curse isn't yet lifted - Armageddon.
