The Cylon bebblehead is what makes this model! Perfect addition from @Revell-Fan !!! GENIUS!!!



I'm sure you'll have fun with her in Georgia! I wish your daughter the best when she goes for her fleet training. So both of them are going to be in Japan serving together?

That is what is supposed to be, {Standard Operational Security Applied} ( some details omitted for fleet protection) My son (who just got "Pinned" as a STG3) is assigned to DDG-83, USS Howard, she is home ported at San Diego, but forward deployed with the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group, and is in port in Yokosuka Japan. The CSG is scheduled to be forward deployed for another year. Daughter in law is currently assigned to LCS Squadron 1 Command here in San Diego, and is due to leave for fleet training in March. They have applied for "Cohabitation" and have been told it was approved, but that can change.

I hope things go well for them overseas! Please give them our best from everyone here at the forum!

I will, I'm almost as proud of them, as I am of my other, older son and daughter in law. They both just had thier 6th anniversary clean and sober.

Canopy frame and glass cut out... (You can barely see the clear acetate.)


all folded up and glued


and the trim piece added to the top.


The windshield wiper got cut out, and promptly fell into a wormhole, and is now exploring the multiverse. I'll figure something else out, but I aint printing another sheet for one tiny part.

Nicely done!

 

[Awry_Chaos]

Everything's coming along nicely!

 

[micahrogers]

I honestly never thought that Ryan, the Navy son would do anything but succeed. His older brother, from high school till 6 years ago was on a downward spiral, for him to turn around, and get clean, and stay clean, I just want to hug them.

He deserves that. Tell them how much you love them and how proud you are of them. They'll treasure that for the rest of their lives!

 

[micahrogers]

I do every chance I get.

(Just draw your own on some scrap paper, it is not that hard to do. )

GENIUS!!!

 

[micahrogers]

I was playing around with a little piece of tin foil... but too thin.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Regular paper will do.

 

[micahrogers]

yep, but all I have here is 62# stock.

 

[Awry_Chaos]

Or maybe a small piece of plastic carved into shape?

 

[Revell-Fan]

A few layers of newspaper paper or some advertising papers perhaps? It should have the right colour then, too.

 

[Awry_Chaos]

Or use a scrap piece of card cut down to shape, and then colored black with a marker or pen.

 

[micahrogers]

I cut a scrap of card, colored with a marker... not bad, then smeared glue all over the acetate... ARGHHHHhhhhhhh

 

[mijob]

Hahaha now you know for sure you will not lose that whiper again.
