My tweezers are indiscriminate about what they send flying.

 

[adampolo13]

Done yet?!!

I know right, so many small parts! My goal is to get construction done by this weekend so I can start the painting process. I heard there's a guy just north of me who really like's to paint and weather, I am tempted just to leave it on his doorstep with a note. "Paint Me"

 

[TRM]

:-\

 

[adampolo13]

:-\

huh??? Why the face???

 

[TRM]

LOL...looked in the mail box and didn't see the gun when I got home!! LOL!!! Did you send it already? ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

[adampolo13]

Shipping was too expensive.... I thought I would just drop it off... hahaha

 

[TRM]

LOL...I suppose that would work better!! ;D Just waiting for the build to be complete and we can sbs you through this monster!!!

 

[adampolo13]

Sounds good to me. I'm going to do a power build session tonight after dinner.

LOL now who might that be............. ...Watch out for him, he might wreck it and add some rust to it.

This gonna be a cool model when done.

Power building tonight....sounds good Adam. I spent about an hour at the bench and hope for more later. Having a blast with the RSO at the moment. Pics on my site .

 

[adampolo13]

Hey Scratch, thanks for the vote of confidence! I really hope I don't mess it up too bad. Hahaha. I am about to go check out your RSO, I'm sure it's coming out great!

In terms of building tonight I got the rest of the work on the trailers done:

Then I got to working on the wheels, they are only temporarily in place for now:

I then put the gun on the trailer to see how it looks:

Then I got around to starting work on the shields:

It was at this point that the P.E. parts started to get a little blurry and I had to call it a night.

Thanks for following along!

 

[TRM]

Good call when the eyes and the head get tired to take a break! Really nice work my friend! Clean!!! Enjoy the rest!!! Getting close to some of the wet colored stuff!!! ;D

 

[scratchmod]

Man that does look sweet with the gun done and on the trailer. Some nice end of the war colors would look very cool....bare metal, Red Primer, a bit of Yellow camo stripes..............oh yeah getting some cool ideas for that baby

 

[TRM]

Don't let him fool you Adam....he want to wreck it, light it on fire and then rust the heck out of it!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

[adampolo13]

Light it on fire.... Hmmm, is that a new weathering technique??? Someone should write an article and put it in the new SMA magazine. At least we know the article would be printed correctly. hahaha

 

[scratchmod]

nah, the fire only works good for cars and trucks... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

[TRM]

LOL...taking all the fun away!! ;D ;D ;D RUST IT!! LOL!!

 

[adampolo13]

Rust It! I haven't even gotten bored with it yet!

I'll just have to get another WWII piece of armor at the March show just so I can learn to rust stuff.

 

[TRM]

Plenty of time!!! LOL!! Probably pick up 3 or 4 kits...junk one for a couple bucks...great test beds!!!

 

[adampolo13]

Ya, I hate to say it but I'm done buying kits... My stash is too full and the prices at the show were too good. I'm glad I only bought one this weekend. I'm sure my wife will like it too!

 

[TRM]

"Done" is a relative term!!! LOL!!! ;D
