Hi gang, <br /> <br />It's been a long and boring day here at the office - I didn't get a whole lot done and that always depresses me. Oh well since Fergie's buying I'll go whole-hog: Filet mignon, baked potato w/sour creme, buttered asparagus tips, and strawberry cheescake for dessert. (Oh yeah, mustn't forget the wildcherry Pepsi...) <br /> <br /><b>derJohn</b> , I think you posted your progress pix immediately before I did my most recent submission - looks great, can't wait to see it all painted! Is that a case of Diovan I see at the bottom of the 2nd photo? I could sure use that, the monthly $25 co-pay cuts into my MRR budget... <br /> <br /><b>Thanx alot everybody</b> for the kind feedback on the photos, but I used mostly store-bought stuff so I think you guys can do it too! <br /> <br /><b>T-Rob</b> - <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by trolleyboy</i>... Nice bash on the KFC as well screams a how to article to me [tup][swg][/quote] Thanx, except I think the guy from Sweden (Pele Soelborg) has already covered that territory... <br /> <br /><b>PC</b> - <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by pcarrell</i>The stream looks great. I actually like that it's backwards! It looks real good. The KFC looks good too. How hard was that update to do? Looks like plastistruct came in handy![/quote]Thanx Phillip, now if I could only figure out how to <i>age backwards...</i>[:D] For the KFC conversion I used scraps of Evergreen (<i>much</i> cheaper than Plastruct!) The most challenging part was cutting out 4 isosceles(sp?) triangles (the kind that are the same length on all 3 sides) and having them line up properly for the rooftop pyramid. <br /> <br /><b>Jerry</b> - <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Cox 47</i> <br />KenL....Any fish in the crick?? ...Like the tree but you need a couple of catfishers on the bank looks like there would be some big ones in there...[/quote] All in good time, my friend! [swg] There'll be time enough for fishin' when the work is done... <br /> <br /><b>Don</b> - good to see you here in the Shop again! <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by DigitalGriffin</i> <br />Wet and 50 here in Maryland...[/quote] I thought you were up in PA, do you commute into MD every weekday? [quote]QUOTE: How did you get the ripples in there?[/quote] I used Woodland Scenics Water Effects paste on top of their "Realistic Water" - spread the Water Effects paste on like peanut butter after the Realistic Water solidified. But first, I experimented on a scrap piece of clear styrene. <br /> <br /><b>Ozzie-Jim</b> - nice little cop-car graphic, I probably need to get one of those in 1:87 for my Seven-Eleven scene![;)] <br /> <br /><b>Inch</b> - always look forward to seeing your CSX r-o-w pix <br /> <br /><b>Ryan</b> - Phillip lives within <i>walking distance</i> of that museum, is that a primo neighborhood or what? BTW have you decided what you'll be doing with your new pike in the attic? <br /> <br /><b>Attaboy</b> - Your secret is safe with us Steve, we won't tell [:D] <br /> <br />. . . <br />Well it's time for me to join the aggressive masses on the overcrowded highways, C-ya later!
