I've had this kit on my wish-list for a while now. I've done a few Metal Earth, Piececool kits and they are fun. They are not PE per se, thicker for sure and more difficult to bend. No glue required and I find them relaxing to build. Looking forward to seeing more.

A whole kit made of PE,sounds like hell to me,but it should make a cool build,for you. lol. While it’s just a bit thicker than actual PE it’s the closest thing to it. Some of it is just as horrible as you imagine. Good LORD man!!! I thought I had my hands full when I built a Lancaster and then a Fokker DR-1 in PE and then I see this??!! Jeez dude!! You good sir......are a WILDMAN!!! Happy Belated Anniversary btw Kyle. It is insanity at times. I was putting that radar tower together and doing 47 folds wondering if my wife actually cared about me at all. 🤣 And thank you. I've had this kit on my wish-list for a while now. I've done a few Metal Earth, Piececool kits and they are fun. They are not PE per se, thicker for sure and more difficult to bend. No glue required and I find them relaxing to build. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks! This is my first experience with one of these kits so I have no frame of reference but I think it seems pretty nice. And Yeah. Not exactly PE. I have used a touch of CA here and there just to add some rigidity. It has been enjoyable. Definitely out of my wheelhouse with some very tricky bits but fun for the most part. How funny, my wife and I are also celebrating 11 years. 9/13. Congrats Kyle. Hey congrats to 11 years to you guys too!! I don’t know about you but I can’t believe it’s already been 11 years. lol. Thanks Paul! Totally different but I’m enjoying it. Oh that looks really cool. Damn Kyle - how many kits do you have going on? You are a machine! Thank you! It’s fun. How many kits do I have going? I shudder to think. I try not to count. Just work on what grabs my attention on a given day. lol That's way Cool ! Just had a 34 year Anniversary . Thank you! And congrats on 34 years! That’s awesome!! 155 pieces of etch? No kidding. When she got it for me I could only assume that she’d grown tired of my shenanigans and this was her way of ending me. |

Congrats on your Anniversary my friend! This looks like a really cool build and like pulling teeth at the same time. After 30 years together my wife knows I'll be my own undoing, she doesn't have to throw a kit made of pe at me to accomplish that.

More power to you , Kyle. All that bending would drive me insane! It looks fantastic. Congratulations on the 11 years, we just celebrated 22 ourselves. It would take me 11 years just to get the assemblies together that you have pictured.

That’s a cool project! I’m glad you’re building it and not me.  Photo etch and I have had a rocky relationship over the years. Happy anniversary! Ben |

I think that much PE would end me - excellent work on the superstructure though!

That kit would still be on the shelf even if it had been a wedding present! Lol! My wife keeps asking for updates on it too. Yeah, updates “I’ve bent 33 more pieces of metal from this fret and not much looks different.” 😂 That’s a cool project! I’m glad you’re building it and not me. Photo etch and I have had a rocky relationship over the years. Happy anniversary! Ben Thank you Ben! It…hasn’t been easy but it is pretty cool!! I think that much PE would end me - excellent work on the superstructure though! Haha! Thanks! I’m not sure I’ll be rushing right out to get anymore of these. But it’s something totally different so I’m mostly enjoying it. |
