Model Forum / General / Models / December 2004

The only thing in this house that will be finished come 1 Jan is 2004.  That
will give me 365.25 more opportunities to not finish anything.  The "might have
beens' are--
Revell 1/32 P-47
Revell 1/72 P-38 (Sorry Bill)
Revellogram 1/48 109
Fortunately, I wasn't working on the SR-75 or "Freddie Flameout" when my temper
and frustration got the better of me.  The others I can replace.  Hope y'all
have a Merry and a Happy, and we'll see what the new one brings us.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you've
misunderstood the situation.

Heller MS.225
Supermodel Macchi MC.202
Supermodel Macchi MC.205

Picked up a half dozen 1/72 Corgi diecasts that take up shelf space. I like the
NASA Harrier and P-47 best. No room to display the B-24 "Dragon and His Tail".

Made progress on the two modified Yak-11s (one for the clent and one for me as
I fly her on occasion), Payan Pa.22 and Long Midget Mustang. Should finsh all
four in 2005.

Very merry Christmas to all.

You're disgusting...      ;-p

Same here. Hey, at least I *started* a couple ones this year.

Taking care of the dog (especially after a car hit him) has taken
away most of my previously free time.

Only finished one model, a Hasegawa 1/48 F 16C
Done in DCA ANG markings, the model is now on display
at Andrews AFB in the operations wing of the 113 th TFW
(the markings the model is done in, 1998 50 year annerverisary :)

I will post pic's on abms later today :)

I have a 1.32 Hasegawa 109 G 6, and 190 D 9 almost ready
for painting, just have to rescribe a few more panel lines.

Next project just started is a Tamiya 1/32 Zero, will have that
done by summer next year.

I did just get through building 2 new computers, my new one
is a watercooled 3.20 Ghz Prescott overclocked to 3.81 Ghz,
Koolance LCU, Zalman CPU bloc, Swiftech Northbridge bloc
1 Gig Corsair DDR 400 @ 2.5 2 2 5, FX 5900 Ultra, and all
other kinds of goodies :) Hey it IS a 1 : 1 working model <G>

The outer panels and attendant slots are too short. Scratch-building
extensions.
