Hello.

Any news on our build?

Is there any word on the progress of our build?

Binoculars! I never thought of that. Cool.

I think it is with M3 still.

Are there any updates on our project? How's it going?

The package is on its may to M3.
I already miss it. But back to work on lighting my NX-01.

My work here is done. I'll ship the package tomorrow and PM you the tracking. I packed everything in layers of bubble wrap and air packs, so hopefully it will survive the trip. This is the main assembly: http://imgur.com/16A60J9 http://imgur.com/iNVCskB http://imgur.com/e9K6sTb http://imgur.com/ijIc...

Excellent. I should have it cleaned up and ready to ship by the middle or end of next week.

I was just about to cut a hole for a stand, and then it occurred to me that an open engine cowling sort of implies IT'S ON THE GROUND. But at least it was better than realizing this after the dremel had gone to work. So, tonight is nose gear and tail skids. The good news is that, since it is on the ...

I think I'm nearly done. I still want to scribe a nose gear door, add something to the rear underside, and maybe close up that fan on the top. http://imgur.com/IH5CuAJ http://imgur.com/mhxlOdz http://imgur.com/A8ETS7W http://imgur.com/DRcmNBs I've built access panels with internal bracing for the op...

I'll be sure to send everything I don't use along with the model when I forward it to the next person. Probably at the end of the project, unused parts can go back to their supplier?

Only had an hour to work tonight:

So, how much Bondo is safe to inhale?

It just arrived this afternoon, and I've been working on it for a couple hours. Here's what arrived.

All these years, and never a double post.
Until now. Damn company MacBook.

Excellent. I'll let you know when it arrives.

That's not a problem. I will post pictures before I start any de/construction, so folks can see your work.

No problem.

Sounds good to me.

What address would you like it sent to when I'm done, M3?

I saw Scotaidh's post in General Sci-Fi about looking for new members.
I'd like to play.

Not a problem. There are always other starships to stick this board into, so I'll just save it for later.

Hello! I have a spare "Starship Lighting Kit" that I would like to use for a project that does NOT require the special effects. I would like to have all the channels provide constant lighting. Is there anyway to modify the card to make it do that, or would I need to buy the basic "Del...

Masking isn't what they are meant for?
Oh.
That weird fringe community that uses stationary as office supplies kinda scares me, you know?
Does that also mean Christmas lights are supposed to go on trees instead of into the head of my Evangelion model?

I don't know when these came out, but I saw a commercial the other day and picked up a couple packs at Office Max. I've used post it notes to mask before, but the sticky part is normally too small to easily mask large camo schemes. These don't have that problem. Very useful. The best part is that th...
