A couple of Cold War Warriors.

Bruce! To be honest, the bench is looking pretty cluttered at the mo (the Tiger is downstairs) - I think I need to upgrade my storage lol!

What the—

SLEEP AIRFIX REPEAT

I thought I was responding in sequence and seem to have completely flubbed my replies.

MILLIPUT SAND REPEAT

That tears it! I was thinking about how John Kim turned me on to Milliput; I miss that guy on the forum—talk about the neat building approach—his work is the neatest of neat work I have seen. I’m going to write to him! Come back, come back!

BUILD PAINT REPEAT

John K is right about the baseline of building but I still feel that color paint work time improves by flat slabs on the earlier kit design. Aircraft building is so specific in its sub assembly slash sectional design structure.

WAIT

Wait. This is an armor build. Still there is something quite refreshing about building more then one kit at one time—the chess master with ten games going at one time—and you have described the process of thinking so well, Stuart. Bravo!

From what we’ve heard, he’s over at large scale model site. Not sure the exact website. Or why he no longer frequents here. Maybe someone here knows why.

Oh yes, LSP

Yes we've lost a lot of posters over the last few years, to MSC and elsewhere - and I do kind of feel that this site, long may it continue, has probably had it's hayday. It does say a lot to me that, asides from yourself, Carlos, Lyle and very occasionally Torben, most of the Admin staff don't even post here anymore - and haven't for years.

We few, we merry band.

Made some more progress last night whilst I was sorting out my son's bath. The turret is pretty much done bar the IR spotlight, which I'm working on. I have to say I really liked the old skool prices of string soaked in Liquid Cement for the tow cables - I didn't think it would work but it was actually really easy and they worked a treat.



Once I've finished the spotlight, I've just got some filling/sanding to do on the hull and a few parts to add, and then it's ready for paint!

Cheers!

Personally I like the vibe here better… it’s not overwhelming like on many bigger sites. Too much chaff and not much wheat…

[Stuart]

Oh I've always preferred a smaller forum - and it's great here. I do think we could do with a couple more regulars but I'm sure real-life might allow some to return at some-point.

[Stikpusher]

Yes we could certainly use a few more regulars… a half dozen or more would be nice.

[Stuart]

That would be ideal. I've invited a few people but no luck as yet.
