Default Intermission...

I haven't posted in a good long time, many reason, none of which are suitable for this forum, but I'm back.

I haven't just been setting idle by any means, I have completed a Baby and Big Bertha, and X-20 Star Blazer (all done, painted and decaled), a Falcon Commander and 2 EAC Viper kits, one which I modded with eliptical fins and beefed up forward canards.

It has been raining so much here, that I am still waiting to paint most of them, although I have a base coat on the FC and the 2 Vipers.

For the time being, I'm going to have to be content with the sporadic building as school has started in earnest again..... gotta stay current with my home work!

Take care everyone, I visit the site almost daily, and you all continue to amaze and inspire me!

Gunner

Geez Bill, cut me some slack! I didn't take any pics because stuff isn't finished.... I will snap some shots later though, just so you don't think I'm makin' up "fish tales"

Default Last bunch.... for now

Okay, this group has the finished Der Pink MAX (great decals, as always Gordy!) and the Baby Bertha. Still have to shoot one more coat of black on the wee Bertha

Thanks for looking

Ya know, I saw those rockets propped between the washer and dryer and I thought, this guy really trusts his wife. Then I remembered the girlfriend mention and it all made sense.
