Have Model Companies Ever Responded to Statements Made On The Forums ?

any chance of pictures? i believe i built one when i was 8 or 9. i'm sure it was nowhere near as good as your build. perhaps i should try one now that i'm a bit better.

Found a bunch! Special Hobby in 1:32 HiPM in 1:48 Special Hobby in 1:72 The 1:32 would be sweet but no doubt costs a mint...

not as big and not for shake and bake, the hipm kit is very nice. it's pricey, too, but it can build up to a really nice bird. i've seen two built and have one in the stash. i'm still learning some new fangled materials so i'm not ready. their bv 141 is also a real gem. a kind soul from this group sold me one for fair money. i haven't finished it yet, i'm doing a slow, careful job to make it last and good. i looked at the big special hobby and it isn't as nice as the hipm, imnsho. the lindberg can be detailed as nicely as you want. i've added motors, interiors, wheels and gear, guns and even made a pavement dio. the he162 is a real challenge to make less toy like. but it makes up nicely, too. i realize the original starter of this thread was yanking a bit.

Sure. I usually like sun for model pictures and we are having some bad weather- October has been one of rainiest in history. But next week is supposed to be nice. I'll post them in photos section of group web site.

great, just give us a heads up and off we go. i may do some pics of my older builds before they get packed. i may post some pics of the least embarassing....

We've had 8 days of sun for the whole month here in Pennsylvania.

we had half a day of cloud that stayed until the middle of the second day. i just can't take the dark and overcast weather. the land is unenlightened and dee-pression sets in like a heavy blanket of gloom and doom. where is my sun? why is this evil darkness making depression sit like an albatross of gloom flighted across my bleak emotional landscape? why must i suffer when darkness inhabits my space? i must escape to my cardboard space surronded by sunlamps. success can be created through light and denial of the gloom.

Whoops, I confused the newsgroup with one of my Yahoo modeling discussion groups. No web site for this group. I suppose I will have to ftp pics to my own web site. I haven't done that in several years- hope I can figure out how :-)

of course you can, ain't nothing dumb on your end. if there is anything of mine you want, just ask. you're a smart guy, so please post and ask for anything you wish for. we know you're sharp. you can do anyhing, i believe.

Taking a creative writing course?
