New Studio Scale Models and other Great models on the way!!

[BlueSquad2001]

I don't believe in them, but I need a vacation.
Okay, I can't wait to hear from some of you that you recieved something in your mail. So post when you do!
C'mon Mr.Postman!

I'll be lucky to see something in a month from ship date.
In the mean time the Revell/Monogram viper nears completion.

Hey Mike....that all depends on how you shipped them....if regular mail that could be 7 to 17 days.....but still worth the wait!!!

OH yeah....one important thing.....don't forget to give a big THANKS to Coby who helped Mike out when the felgercarb was up to here.

THANK YOU Coby!!!!!

[BlueSquad2001]

Barry, any special instructions we can follow to get it to you quicker? We had planned on insuring, so that would make it impossible to mark package under $20 value. What do you want us to do?

Terri

A big thanks to Coby for his help! He did a wonderful job on the molds and castings. We really do appreciate it. I also want to thank Gordon for his hard work, even though it never arrived. Maybe someday it will, and maybe we will be able to laugh about it. Sorry we didn't ship earlier this week, but my bank account was busted and I had to wait until payday.

Do you have any plans to post pic's of Tom DeSanto build-up?

Jim

Oops, I mean Teri.

[Viper 1]

Hey..... you know something.....
I think Mike has shipped the kits........

FAR FRAKING OUT!!!!!!

[BlueSquad2001]

For those that did not get this sheet in their instructions, as it was last minute.
This point about the Laser Cannons need to be stressed as to the correct way to mount them. Don't get nasty!

Sweet! Thanks Mike!

Hoping you do post a finished, painted build-up of one of these long-awaited vipers.

[BlueSquad2001]

I'm about to paint an engine can. Step by step explaining as I go. Any questions, please ask here so that all can read and understand, as they are quite complex in color. All will be done by brush.

[BlueSquad2001]

I'll get to posting some pics later tonight. Just real busy.

Not so busy that he had to call me while looking for some Count Chocula at the food market! .....which they did NOT have! the communist!

ARGHHHH!!!! I want my Count Chocula!!!

[BlueSquad2001]

Here are some pics of the engine section and front intakes for the "KUHN Viper!" I have many more to post and some newer, but after I sleep! Yes Kurt...I'm still awake.

The 1st pic here is the detailing of the flush vent ribs being installed.


Next is the fitting of the engine cans, and I decided to take it further with the detailing, by actually using several different sizes of Dremel engraving bits and cutting down deep and up under the details to give more realistic depth.
Then the final pic is just the begining of paint detail, much more to do to finish this up, but it is the hardest part to make look believeable.
GOODNIGHT!!!

Are we calling this something else...again?

Nice detailing. Again...I can't wait to get my hands on them.

No..No...That's Kurt Kuhn, from over at the RPF.
I'm doing a build-up for him and Dilbertman. And who better to do a build-up than the people that blueprinted and created the master?

[dilbertman]

Looking COOL Mike. This and the new classic comic coming out is make me a HAPPY WARRIOR.

Jim

SWEET!!!!! Looks great! MORE! MORE!!!!!

Hey folks! At our local Sci-Fi/Fantasy contest today Viper took first place !!
(see other threads for pics )

[dilbertman]

Hopefully the Viper will look this good when Mike's done. I think someone has a little to much time on there hands.

Kit Arrived TODAY. Thank you Michael! Parts look lovely! You've produced an ACE of a kit.

-Gordon

let's see photos of the parts!!!!
Come onnnnn.

Got mine today!! COOL KIT Mike!! Thanks!

Man this sucka is BIG!

Thanks to all that were involved in bringing this kit to life like Tom, Coby and to Terri for all her help, understanding, wuv and all that other stuff and a big thanks for Mike for hanging in there and not just calling the whole thing off when things got deep.

Too bad I can not just start on this right now but I have too much money and effort wrapped up in my 1/35 scale FLYING SUB.

Rock on!!!!

Hey mike.

Would it be possible to have a sent list and a waiting list.
Everyone is excited and can't wait to know.
I am also interested in seeing where I fit in on the list.

Thanks, Barry.

Waiting.......Waiting........ (drumming fingers on table.....)
Well....while I wait for my DeSanto Mk 2 Vipers....
Here is some pics of my Yellow Squadron Recon Viper that I just rebuilt last week to compete in my local IPMS contest. (It didn't win anything ... those guys are more into tanks and planes then SciFi stuff.)
But I did get it done.
I finally did a cockpit for it...did a Male pilot and Female co-pilot/spotter.... and cut off the old burner cans and used my Burner Can Set.
Here it is for your enjoyment while we wait.
