Hey fellas!! Wanted to toss up what I got going on over on SMA for the Big Spring Contest!! www.scalemodeladdict.com/index.phpAs you can see in the title, HT is the name of the game here. No clear understanding of what and how this will go...but that is how I roll it seems!! With 3 months to finish her I started a little construction. Kit And that is where it at...for the moment!! Thanks for having a peek!!!

Don't you worry about anything!! All in the spirit of competition and FUN!!! I enjoy the conversation and the building as well as seeing all the other build in all the cats!!! Just....fun!!! You have a point with the Sci-Fi!! WOW, there is a lot. I think you will do fine...either way!! Not sure what I will try and tackle if I finish this one early...but there is still a ways to go!!

yes, actually there are more entries this year!!! I'm planning to finish the Chally first before I could go on with my 2nd entry since its almost a snap tight kit. 2 of my friends also join the competition... one is a wicked braille armor builder.

coming along great!!! need to wait 8hrs again to work on the chally, I need to drape it with medical gauze for the guide to lessen the work... this one push me to the limit especially the netting since I'm doing it via miliput, don't have echelon decals for it... will do a mock later how to overlap it. as of now I'm only surfing at work the Cats are away on the vacation so the rats at play lol

I know your not a fan of modern armor buds, but its an interesting build since I'm not to any particular armor... just any interesting would be fun to build.

LOL...Not "not: a fan of the modern stuff, I think I just stick with older for some reason. Given the right time bud, I will rip into something newer. The variants are even more mind boggling and the research to get it right would be from square one!

Some modern stuff is cool but the coolness is off the scale or ww II armor.
