Ah, the old Monogram F-100. I've built that kit many times, it's a good one. Save my seat, I need to go make some popcorn! 🙂

I shoulda just known Holly would be in..

@Bill.. I love the old monogram molds.. since the hind, i've started collecting the 1:48 monogram kits.. Oh and gents...bewarned.. I have two more hinds so far to build.. MWHAHAHAHAAH

I think the only old Monogram quarter scale kit I don't like is the F-14. That one's a pig. The Convair Delta Wings are really nice, the F-102 and F-106.

@Guido - I think we need some nachos, too.

10 July 2012, 22:53

Augie Author
yeah bill,m your not wrong.. i have one of the 14's and yeah its a pig..

10 July 2012, 22:58

Bill Gilman
Their quarter scale F-111A is not so good, either, as it's basically the old Aurora kit with some more panel lines added. But I grew up with their original models in the 60s, you know the ones with bombs that drop, flaps that move, landing gear that retracts, etc. I loved it, even though the "moveable" features usually broke after you used them once or twice...

10 July 2012, 23:04

Augie Author
Never seen the mono f-111a.. but i swear i would kill for a F-19

10 July 2012, 23:08

Better rent a giant screen and put them all in the garden

Or better, maybe Tim can incorporate a video thing device so we can broadcast modelling sessions on Scalemates thru our webcam

11 July 2012, 19:20

Augie Author
Hehe that almost sounds wrong asking female modeller to model on cam 😉

11 July 2012, 21:04

Bill Gilman
Be very careful what you ask for!!! 🙂

11 July 2012, 23:34

Augie Author

If I would appear on your monitors your anti-virus software and spam-filters would go bezerk

I think the bare metal finish is more coloful as the decals are better

14 July 2012, 10:48

Holger Kranich

Augie Author

New update, fueslage is together and i am starting to get her painted in Blue Falcom scheme.. and its actually really striking so far

15 July 2012, 11:46

Frank Krause
Looking good, Augie! I like the scheme.... 🙂

15 July 2012, 11:55

Augie Author
🙂 thanks frank

15 July 2012, 11:57

Wilfried Bogaerts
Goin' strong Augie, say, do you use flat or round brushes for your pant jobs ?

15 July 2012, 12:09

Wilfried Bogaerts
hihi, sorry, I mean PAINT jobs hihi 🙂

15 July 2012, 12:09

Augie Author
lol i use flat brushes mainly willy, i find they give best coverage and leave the fewer brush marks

15 July 2012, 12:12

Wilfried Bogaerts
Thx! Another one, if using enamels (Humbrol, Revell...) do you thin them or do you pop your brush straight into the jar ?

15 July 2012, 12:17

Augie Author
very much depends on the paint.. some cans are thicker than others.. most are thined further ands its multiple coats

15 July 2012, 14:30

Augie Author
Well the Hun is comming along, Will get some pics up before i finish it 🙂

17 July 2012, 19:58

Looks different now. You changed the colours... or the camera? The blue colours look so different compared to the previous photos...

17 July 2012, 22:34

Frank Krause
Another camouflage scheme?

17 July 2012, 22:34

Augie Author
Just the lighting changed oddly... will do better ones

17 July 2012, 22:37

Frank Krause
Ah, ok!

I worked a bit more on the interior of the Huey, but not enough to take new pictures.

17 July 2012, 22:40

Augie Author

17 July 2012, 22:42
