:mrgreen::mrgreen: I know what you mean! I've kinda stalled on my Jedi Starfighters, but started Kooklik's Uboot and am researching/developing interior and torpedo models for Uhu's U-96. Go figure!sign1

I have to agree with Zathros, so far your builds just keep getting better and better. It seems like only last month that you joined Zealot and said you had recently picked up paper modeling :p, but your modeling skills seem to have bypassed us normal folk. You are becoming a force to be...

D@mned nice looking build. And so small! I am blown away by the crispness of the points! Very nice.

Those are two beautiful models. Magnificent design and builds. Your detailing is superb!

"The Killer Angels," the source materiel for "Gettysburg," gave me my understanding of what happened when at Gettysburg, which led me to explore the Battle of Antietam. There is apparently a like book/novel for Antietam called "Landscape Turned Red" which is supposed to be quite a good read. I...

Don't forget Antietam, THE bloodiest single day of battle. 22,717 casualties in 12 hours of fighting. Three hours alone produced 5,600 casualties on Bloody Lane. to continue Zathros's stats count: Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg to the CSA) Date: September 17, 1862 Location: Maryland...

Aww .. so cute, but not very fuzzy! I wish that I had known about this rabbit at Easter, most of the women in the house would have loved to get one! That is regular copy paper? My hat's off to you! The 20# stuff is a bear to work with but you did a fine job. I would have thought that it was...

I always liked the design of the Eagles. The intricate tubing harkens back to mid to late 70's NASA space stations conceptual designs. One that I remember was an old animation of a smallish machine that would float in space and make tubes arranged in a triangle to be used as supports. Very...

That's pretty fracking nice! Which model is it? (Whose, and from whence did it come?) BTW- Welcome aboard, glad that you could join us! I am a long time lurker, recent first original thread poster.

The story continues . . . . I think R2 should look before he "leaps"! The farce surrounds us and penetrates us. :eek:

More update pics: Two cockpits! Now I get to start working on the exterior. That will hopefully go quicker as there are around 300 pieces in each interior :eek:

@Rhaven Blaack- Thank you, I am trying to be as clean and precise as possible. It's not as crisp as I would have liked, but I am very pleased with it so far. The job does have its perks. On the other hand I only get to really see my wife on the weekends. I miss out on eating dinner with the...

Time for an update. I work at a job with a very slow workflow. The reality is that I only have about 30 to 40 minutes of actual work in any given day. I literally sit and wait for the phone to ring, then transfer the caller to another number, or provide them with a number when requested. And...

Doh! Hit post WAY too fast! @anthony344- The engine glow looks great! I wonder . . . I know that it would darken the light when the engine is turned on, but would it be possible to use a grayish tissue at the rear of the reflectors, so that when the lights were turned off it would look...

Cheap fake tea light, that is AWESOME!

Thank you all for the words of encouragement. High praise indeed from such talented builders. I have a reprieve! The wife and mother-in-law have moved the party to the 26th! I just may get these done in time after all. @Rhaven Blaack- I really can't take credit for the detail, it was all in...

I feel the same way about immediately redoing a project. Like you, terrincold, I am also a beginner, but I find that the thought of doing another Jedi ETA2 after my current build(s) are done makes me shudder something awful!

Good one!sign1

@Zathros- that's a clever trick for gluing the cap to a cylinder! I'll have to remember it. @terrinecold- This is looking good. It looks like a fun build, even with the challenges that you are encountering.

I think that I shall go let Anakin's ETA2 crash and burn. Then I shall retire to the closet to sulk. (edit to correct a spelling error, yes, I am that persnickety)
