Joe, Thanks for posting those in-progress shots. I was wondering where you came up with the budda face. Very cool. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

Welcome Bill! Like what I see so far of your models. Keep um coming. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

This is good news , because their current site stinks. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

I a builder and a carpenter so detail is big with me. The first this people always ask me is,"How do I hold and put together all those small parts" kinda gets old. The second thing they ask after I tell them how much time and money I put into them is,"How much money do you get when you win something"? The look on their faces is priceless when I tell them Nothing. Bottom line is I don't care one bit what anybody thinks about my hobby. It's mine to enjoy and always will be. So #&@! them!

I agree with James, go for it when it comes to the PE. It's not that bad. Chris G :Smile_sceptic:

Eight builds in a week and a half, WOW ! I see you are using washes and pigments more and more along with other weathering stuff on your models. You are really presenting better and better looking models everytime. And FAST too. Excellent job my friend! Keep up the great work. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

Steve, Is this going to be and OOB build or are you going to be adding upgrading anything? I'll be following this build as I'm sure Mark A. who is a big IDF fan will also. I'm sure he'll be piping in here soon. Looking forward to your build. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

John, Welcome back! I was stationed at the Philly Naval shipyard for about three years as the ship I was on was going thru overhaul. Love that city. I remember visiting several good hobby shops in the area and all the great musuems and cool historical sites. Oh and cheese steaks, hoggies, prizzels, Oh god I'm getting hungry!

CAPCON is on my radar for next year. I went once several years ago and loved it. I'll miss Noreast con next year as it is the same weekend as the AMPS International show. FYI I am the contest chairman for next years CANAM con. Stay tuned as we are finilizing the details of the show. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

Welcome, I live in Colchester,Vermont next to Burlington,Vermont here in the US. Just one hours drive from Montreal,Canada or 20 min to the border. Looking forward to hearing from you two. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

Great job, Love the model, but really love the blue fence even more. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

Welcome Mike! Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Hi Padro, Great looking model,so how did you do at the nationals? Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

Great stuff there Mark, you sure can pump out the models. I see you used the silly putty trick. I have never done this but have seen and herd great things about this trick. Will have to do it some day. Nice job on everything. Oh I usually don't ever do this,but since I know you pretty well. There appears to be silvering on the decals of the Navy aircrafts. Just and fyi. Chris G. :Smile_sceptic:

Welcome aboard Art , good to have you here. Looking forward to your builds and questions. It's a strange bunch here but in the same breath a good bunch at that too. Chris :Smile_sceptic:

Al, I believe what you are talking about is a fire bottle that is part of the fire surpression. The color would be Red. Chris G.

Thanks for the great comments Rob. Chris :Smile_sceptic:
