  1. Thanks for the update. Looking forward to getting over to see her when she reopens.
  2. "I talked to Bruno a couple of weeks ago and he yelled at me too!" I put my name in the same hat too!! He hasn't yelled at me yet!!
  3. That would be a nice addition to an interesting field of study. And now for a shameless plug!! Stop by and check our SIG out. I think you'll find it interesting with cool content relating to this fascinating time period!! Blue and Gray Scale Modelers, an IPMS/USA Special Interest Group (SIG) | Facebook
  4. It would probably be best if you put it in the category you think it fits best. Let the judges decided if you made the correct choice in their eyes. Or you could discuss it with the Head Auto Judge at the show. Either way. good luck with it!!
  5. Welcome back to the hobby brother!! Semper Fi
  6. Nice work on the 12 LBer!! Stop by the IPMS/USA Special Interest Group Blue and Gray Scale Modelers and share off your work!! We'd love to see it!!! Blue and Gray Scale Modelers, an IPMS/USA Special Interest Group (SIG) | Facebook

    USS Choctaw

    Thanks Mark!! That's a great idea, and I'll do so when the dust settles, and we know how Falgship will move forward. And it's my sincere hope it does go forward. There are just too many unique and interesting subjects in the catalog, the fact it's in my wheelhouse notwithstanding!! Thanks again!!

    Thanks so much for your kind words. Rusty wanted to use pictures of mine as the box art for future kits. Unfortunately we were never able to make that happen.

    USS Choctaw

    Here are a few pictures of my recently completed USS Choctaw from Flagship Models. I've been wanting a kit of this subject for quite a few years. I'm afraid I made a nuisance of myself asking Rusty and Flagship Models about doing one, repeatedly over a number of years!! It was a happy day when Rusty sent me an e mail saying it was finally ready!! I think this is the first one he sold!! I regularly posted in progress pics on the Blue and Gray Scale Modelers SIG Facebook page, and I know Rusty was following along with the build because of some of the e mails he sent commenting on various parts of the build. I offer mine and the condolences of the entire Blue and Gray Scale Modelers family to Rusty's family. It was a great kit to build and I added some extra detail here and there to enhance things a bit. The build took about 18 months to complete. I'm happy with the results, and the completed model looks great on the shelf with the other Civil War subjects I've done. To check out the in progress pics, or to check out our what's happening at a happening SIG home stop by and check us out!! We'd love to have you stop by and say hello!!

  10. James asks "Will it work?" We spent quite a while working the descriptions into something coherent, with an eye toward resembling what shows up on the tables and what automotive modelers are familiar with. When we worked on all this, we used the most current and up-to-date data at the time. There may be a little tweaking needed due to the amount of time that has elapsed since they were produced. We had some very knowledgeable and dedicated modelers on the committee that worked very hard on this. I'm glad our work finally sees the light of day.
  11. I tried the AK Intreactive Brass Photoetch Burnishing liquid and was very disappointed in it's performance. It seemed to leave a black crust on the brass that chipped off, leaving exposed brass. I've been using Birchwood Casey products for many years on my black powder firearms. I should have stuck with them!! Thanks for passing along something that works!!
  12. Here are a few that I took at the show. I had a great time at the show, and say "Thanks again!!" to our hosts!! Doug
  13. That’s what I’m counting on Rusty!!!
