Did someone say "Flying Haggis"?

Let's just hope nobody notices the Takom kit of the 'Ratte' or any of the Luft '46 kits out there! Heavens to Betsy! Think what the sight of all that high tech German stuff might make people think! Oh, for the Haunebu, just get the licensing from the "Iron Sky" movie.

Thanks BK. I'll add this link to my bookmarks! If anyone else is interested, my research suggests that In RGB (Red/Blue/Green) Code I believe it comes out as 222.40.46 In Hex Code this is DE282e. Russian Red The FS 595 Code is FS11105 also called OSHA Safety Red or DoT Red Vallejo Color #909 Vermillion Model Master 1503 Gloss Red Tamiya X-7 Red Gloss Humbrol #19 Bright Red Gloss Sherman Williams Gypsy Red

Hey Guys. I'm looking for the FS Codes (if any) for Russian Aircraft insignia. (Red Star) I need to document the colours for a scale competition. I am also looking elsewhere but if anyone has any kind of documentation, (US FS Code, Russian colour codes Paint manufacturers codes etc. etc.), I'd be grateful! Thanks guys! Q

Rules of Etiquette for Rednecks: (please note, these rules apply to AMERICAN rednecks. Your own local rules may vary) 1. Never take a beer to a job interview. 2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them. 3. It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church. 4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets. 5. Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home. DINING OUT 1. When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup, and pour slowly so as not to "bruise" the fruit of the vine. 2. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label. ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME 1. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist. 2. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table... no matter how good his manners are. PERSONAL HYGIENE 1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys. 2. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good money. 3. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the taste of finger foods. DATING (Outside the Family) 1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date. 2. Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wanting to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall two years ago." 3. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; Others might say "Monday." If the latter is the answer, it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time. THEATER ETIQUETTE 1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up immediately after the movie has ended. 2. Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you. WEDDINGS 1. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift. 2. Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot. 3. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cummerbund and a clean bowling shirt can create a tacky appearance. 4. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for this special occasion. DRIVING ETIQUETTE 1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles; Even if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight. 2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always has the right of way. 3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape. 4. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer. 5. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

An old man is sitting on a park bench crying his eyes out. A young jogger comes by and asks him what is the matter. The old man says, "I'm a multimillionaire, I have a great big house, the fastest car in the world and I just married a beautiful blonde bombshell who satisfies me every night in bed whether I like it or not (sob)." The young jogger says, "Man, you have everything I have ever dreamed for in my life. What could be so wrong in your life that you are sitting here in the park crying?" The old man says, "I can't remember where I live." An old man was on the beach and walked up to a beautiful girl in a bikini - "I want to feel your breasts" he exclaimed. "Get away from me, you crazy old man" she replied. "I want to feel your breasts, I will give you twenty dollars," he says. "Twenty dollars, are you nuts!? Get away from me!" "I want to feel your breasts, I will give you ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS" he stated. "NO! Get away from me!" "TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS" he offered. She paused to think about it, but then comes to her senses and said, "I said NO!" "FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS if you let me feel your breasts," he claimed. She thought, well he is old, and he seems harmless enough...and $500 IS a lot of money.... "Well, OK...but only for a minute." She loosened her bikini top and while both are standing there on the beach, he slid his hands underneath and began to feel... then he started saying, "OH MY GOD...OH MY GOD...OH MY GOD..." while he was caressing them. Out of curiosity, she asked him, "Why do you keep saying, 'Oh my god, oh my god'?" While continuing to feel her breasts he answered, "OH MY GOD...OH MY GOD...OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD, where am I ever going to get five hundred dollars?

Bump so I can find this for a friend.

Спасибо за фотографии Dora! Я хочу один для своего магазина!

I was gonna ask you'd done for the texture and then I flipped back a few pages and found pine needles? Really? I'll have to say it looks quite effective actually. Sort of a vicious krimbo tree. (BTW your old piccies aren't showing, to me at least..)

Aha! I just KNEW there was room in there for an airplane engine! I LIKE it!

Looking good there Ian. May have to look into the Shapeways parts myself if I ever get around to building my copy...

Nose to tail or joined at the crankshaft? W16 engine FTW! Seems to me that somebody did a tank motor that was essentially four V8 motors all joined around a common crankshaft. Sherman?

Jeez! That motor looks tiny on that long frame. What goes in all the empty space? Maybe some kind of aeroplane engine, like an Allison V12?

When the Li' Coffin was released back in the late '60s it was pretty much state of the art with its opening doors (and I think, steerable wheels). It was also called "Dexters' Deuce" on the 'Hot Wheels' cartoon show, where it was the bad guys ride. I built both of these many (many, many) years ago but never to this level of perfection. That paint looks terrific! The heat staining on the headers is very pretty as well. Good show!

I just got a couple of those including the 2 seater in stock here at my shop. Kinda nice to see a build. I haven't seen a Kingcobra kit in 1/48th scale since the old MPM Expert series kit. (It DEFINITELY needed an expert as I recall...) Looks good. Crack on!

I'll go along with Gorby. I was looking for the garage model in your garage. Impressive.

Before you can really answer this question, you have to ask the question; "What are you shipping?" Is it an airplane engine, a bomb or a bombsight? If you just want excelsior (or whatever you guys call it over there), then I'd try a coarse plant fibre like old hemp rope. "What are you shipping?"

I've always wanted to do the Thunderchild vs a Martian tripod, but I've never seen tripod kit that I liked that fit the original book desciption. I've always favoured the original illustration version from when the story was originally published in "The Strand". (I think) This would be another good one since it shows the breakdown of the tripods. I really like the way we used to look at the future. The 19th century views and ideas about what the 21st century technology would be like are endlessly fascinating.

I have just sat down to read this thread end to end. This is quite an interesting build and you are carrying it off very well indeed sir. Wood is not the material I would have chosen but you've made it work brilliantly! I understand absolutely nothing about how the 'lectrcal bits work but I can certainly admire the craftsmanship. Oh, and the squid attack is a wonderful touch! I am looking forward to the next installment with as much impatience as your director I think. Good on yer mate!

Very interesting. I tried something like this for a Model T Indianapolis racer and bogged down because I couldn't figure out how to go on with the body shell S'il vous plaît continuez, ceci m'apprend des choses!

Inspirational I'd call it. I've had this kit in my stash for many years now and I'd never seen one built up. Now I'm looking at your build and going 'Hmmmm...' Very pretty sir!

Wowsers! I have Contrails 1/48th scale Short Stirling vac and I thought that thing was big. This is another league entirely... I'm gonna go read your Shack build now but I'll be back!

Very pretty little boat you're putting together there Mr CC. I am waiting impatiently for the next installment. (Especially since it will take me years to get around to building this thing. I made a start on the old SMER kit some years ago...I wonder where it's gotten off to?

I think I'd go with 90% Isopropyl alcohol or perhaps denatured alcohol. Not too smelly and shouldn't affect the plastic, although they might strip paint, if that is a concern. I have a coffee can full of the stuff and I just pitch parts that I want to strip in there for an hour or so. DO NOT USE ON Polyurethane Resin!!! Mostly it works fine but occasionally, it will turn your resin parts into a rubbery, twisted mess. (ask me how I know this ) I have used it to strip Bare Metal Foil before so I know it'll take that stuff off. High proof vodka or gin would probably work too. Better than drinking the stuff!
