VonL Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) - At least one half-finished model from the shelf-of-doom - 1/350 WWII Buckley Destroyer Escort for a US flag/shadow box honoring Dad, who passed away in SEP. The Commander Series resin & PE waterline kit looks good for a first effort at resin ships. Hull plating detail seems a bit overdone, though. Edited January 27, 2010 by VonL

Have you looked at the Trumpeter kit with the GMM update set ? Seems pretty nice -- I'm doing a Captain Class Frigate conversion, but it's stalled out right now.

willieself Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 1/48th AH-1G Cobra..using the Fujimi Sea Cobra kit and the Cobra Company conversion kit...will be done in Vietnam era markings...
robertmelvin Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 I guess I'm shooting big here, but I'd have to say the Yankee Modelworks 1/350 U.S.S. Massachusetts. This monster looks like the kit to end all kits (at least in ships) and will probably keep me building all through the long winter months. Only one major problem - how to slip that one past the wife! I'm leaning toward pleading temporary insanity. Either that or really save my nickles and dimes and get her something so fantastic for Christmas that she won't notice! LOL Bob
Mark Aldrich Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 Bob, Great idea. However, are you going to have it BUILT by the end of this year? Mark
802chrisg Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 I don't think I will get it done or even started, but My new Dargon M-7 "Priest" model kit I just got this year is the one I want to build the most. I guess this will be on next years list. Chris
Mark Aldrich Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Chris, That is a urine poor attitude!!!!!! Dang it!!!! Will yourself and you WILL get it done!! You are a treadhead!!! Nothing is beyond your ability! Are you feeling the love yet????? Mark Edited September 9, 2010 by Mark Aldrich
Dick Montgomery Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 XSL-01 by Revell....its a moldy goldy oldie. BTW, Mark....its not a tank..... sorry.

Nothing is beyond your ability! Are you feeling the love yet????? Mark I not sure if I would call it love Mark, But I am feeling the heat , big time. I have opened the boxed and smell of the new plastic was intoxicating. Most likely I will start it the year. The wife is on my back for new cabinet doors and bunch of other stuff . I think you know where I'm going with this one. So fellow Treadhead I will make every effort to get this thing done. Chris Edited September 9, 2010 by 802chrisg
Mark Aldrich Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 Chris, Been There, Done that, got the T-shirt to prove it! Mark
ghodges Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 Well......here it is, 2010 is 3/4s gone and I haven't even started my Trumpy 1/350 Saratoga. Still, I've been having fun building what I have built, so I can't complian! I'll get to it sooner or later, the good Lord willin'! GIL
robertmelvin Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 Mark, Built by the end of the year may be a bit optimistic! LOL. But, at least get a good start on it. Hey, never let reality get in the way of your ambitions. Bob
Dreamsof51 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 My goal is to finish something in my own stash, if I can every stop asking for review models! Something about free stuff..is that bad? Chris
Mark Aldrich Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Chris, My brother!!!!! You and me both!!! I have a M1 Super Sherman(M4 Israelified), M4 IDF Dozer, Magach 3(IDF M-48), Nitto Jerry, BA-6, Strella, and Beep Gun-truck all sitting on the back burner because I volunteered to do the Italeri Achilles. Yes, it is bad and someday I will learn to keep my trap shut! This one was my fault because I thought it was going to be an easy build. Mark
MikeH Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 My goal is to finish something in my own stash, if I can every stop asking for review models! Something about free stuff..is that bad? Chris No, there is NOTHING bad about that. Plus it makes us build things and take a new approach to it during a review which is a good thing. I think it sharpens one's skills.
