Great piece Chris!

My wife would go bonkers for this. Our Christmas decor is ALL snowmen. Nice job!

Start there and play with it. Based on the bigger scale maybe 20-25%

Great job, very inspirational build!

In Model Master, I'd start with 1720 Intermediate Blue (FS 35164) with a little 1719 Insignia Blue added to deepen the shade. For the vest, 1708 Insignia Yellow should fit the bill. You'll probably need to adjust the colors using the color wheel to get your tones just right. Humbrol 109 WWI Blue may be a better off the shelf blue for the uniforms. I hope this is helpful!

All, my latest completed model. This was part of a club build honoring our late friend Dr. Bob Sigman. I purchased the kit from his stash and built her OOB. Gunze Aqueous paint chipped hairspray method over Alclad II. Decals from the kit, some issues with cracking and bad reactions to MicroSol.

Picked up Dragon's Type 95 Late model for the Atlanta Clubs' Holiday Party and Wicked Santa festival. Always bring something you wouldn't mind going home with...

Get the Tasca/Tamiya M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight. It even has markings for a tank from the 66th Tank Battalion which is the battalion from the 2nd Armored Division marked on the hull in the movie. Then post some pictures on our FB page! The movie is simply awesome!

If you post it, we will come...

Always a pleasure to see The Duke's Small Scale work!

I agree with Dave on the source. Great kit (I have two!), especially for 50 bucks! And top notch casting! http://www.michael-robertsltd.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=87

Wow Pedro, I am picking up a lot of tips here...great work!

You say "Beaver Tales" and I think "Beaver Tails" and start drooling...

Great one, Chris! This just may be my big purchase at the Nationals (although I just may go for the M3A3 Cavalry version that just came out).

Thank you guys for the compliments! Gil, those walkways are the kit decals. They went on nicely and settled in with one application of Micro Set and Micro Sol.

Here is the Minicraft 1/144 scale C-54/DC-4 kit in Pan American World Airways "Clipper Racer" livery. These are the kit markings which went on well. The bare metal is Alclad II, the gloss white is Tamiya. I love this kit; the fit is very nice and she presented no issues. I have several more of these that I am planning to build...

Here is the 1/35th scale Trumpeter kit Early Version built OOB. Great kit. The guard is a DML Soviet Motor Rifle Troops soldier. The setting is along the Sino-Soviet border in the 1970s.

I like this project Pedro! Can't wait to see the finished product!

As a rule, you are prohibited from checking ANY paint and glues in your baggage. TSA considers paint to be restricted articles (regardless of flammability). As most glues and putties are flammable, corrosive and/or toxic, they are also banned from checked baggage. If during the inspection of your checked baggage the TSA agent discovers these item, they are instructed to confiscate them. I hate to be the wet blanket, but I wouldn't want you to lose $$.

I just get so inspired looking at these miniatures. Thanks for the post Al.

I didn't see anyone from the club post... IPMS AtlantaCon 2014 at the IAM Local 709 Union Hall, 1032 South Marietta Pkwy, Marietta GA. Doors open at 0900!

Or Bismarck/Tirpitz! Oy vey!

Very nice, love the whitewash!

Nice job Dennis. Great piece
