LOL....I think we can look at it this way...Modeling is definitely a drug Boo!!! We start off small and think there is control. Before you know it you are buying more and more, till you buy more than you build...not to mention getting angry when asked about the addiction (denial). Then you graduate from simple stuff into the High Grade ones. Money is not the option...you will beg, borrow, steal...do side jobs for cash, place 1/2 of the cash on pre-paid debit cards, giving her the other 1/2...she is none the wiser...then buy stuff online at work and have it shipped to work, putting it in your trunk until she takes the kids shopping and you sneak it in only after you have pulled off the plastic in the car (evidence) open the box and just sit and smell that new plastic smell!!! (All Me due).
Onto Designer model Drugs. When OOB kits just don't do it any more. You need a bigger faster kick, with a twist. You start small again...bashing 5 and 10 dollars kits, old kits you bought but will never build and then you are hooked....cost of the kit does not matter, you will cut anything, bash anything...melt..pilfer parts....completely bastardize a kit for the pure satisfying adrenalin of what you get when your done!!! LOL!!!!
See what your friend can do to you!!! ;D ;D Wouldn't change a friggin' thing bro!!!

Well Said, T... I'm also guilty beyond reasonable doubt, I started from OOB and now kit bashing and learning SBS  |

Thanks Noname & ER!!! In keeping the mind and hands busy the past day or so, several projects around the house are moving forward...this included:     A lot of things need to be finished up on these pieces, just showing you were I am at!! As just a hint...the AB came out yesterday too!! Laid down some interior base color and hit the engine compartment quickly so I can get the engine deck on!!! Thanks for stopping in!!!  |

Thank you gentlemen! The encouragement is worth it's weight in gold! This is an interesting section of the build.... I began laying base colors to the inside of the tub. There are no pigments used at this point, just getting some tones.  . Making damaged suspension and burnt out wheels.   ....Just me and my shadow...     Still working on the turret, need to make up the tracks...yadda yadda yadda! I am moving onto the base rusting of the lower extremities and I will have just way to many coats to go on the interior. I will have some more pics tomorrow morning!! Thank you for dropping in!!! |
