We’re going to do something interesting. We’re having a ladies only GB. There’s been Young Guns, Old Guns, Veterans, and now ladies. If you “gentleman” want to bring your lady into the hobby nows the time.
ok I am in of course! I am building an AMT 1969 Chevelle and it is a 125th scale! I am just starting the engine and I need some advice, the directions call for a chevrolet orange engine, but I am building a pink car, so should I paint the engine pink or chrome it??
I like this badge even better than the one SmokingGuns made up in the aircraft forum article. I think it needs the “powder puff” words in there somewhere.
PinkChevelle, The original Chevrolet engines were a bright, dark orange, almost red. The model engine should contrast somewhat with the rest of the engine well, so I would suggest not doing it in pink. Model Master paint line has an aerosol can of what they call “Chrome” and it gives a pretty bright, shiney result.
You got me to remembering when I was about 10 or 11 and my older brother tore apart a 1947 Ford engine and rebuilt it. I was his grease monkey assistant.
I’ll talk to my wife about this! She is very supportive of my hobby.But I know that my step daughter would definately like to join.She has been hammering me about building a model with her,but my 1/32 F-15E keeps getting in the way.I’ll let you know soon whether it’s one or two entries.
Okay we’ll use this badge. I might save the other one in case we do another GB next year.
I’m working on of TO35 Ferguson tractor. The fuel system is acting weird. Cleaned the line, settlement bulb, and replaced the cork gasket but it seems a metal plate inside the tank broke off and keeps shifting over the outlet for the line and stopping the flow.
Wow, ZVA, two maybes. We might have a good sized group.
Nice plane, TexGal. Is it wearing Indiana Air Guard markings?? Extra points bening the Hoosier I am.
Nice work getting the group build together! just do me a favor, made sure PinkC doesnt build a better model than me. I dont think my fragile male ego could take another hit [:I] ahh she will, who am i kidding. I look forward to seeing the results
Way to go Ladies! I will see if I cannot get my beautiful wife to join and contribute as she has built a model before - The Jetson’s Spaceship. She had a pretty good time doing it. Bud remember the "no pants’ belongs to the In My Stash GB.
I just spoke with my beautiful wife and she will join in and contribute to the Powder Puff GB if accepted in. Her contribution will be the Incredible Hulk kit by Toy Biz.
Pinkchevelle, What I normally do in painting the engine is matching it to the color of the body. Just something I picked up from covering carshows for several years, But that’s up to you. Build what you like. Remember, if you do not like the way it looks, you can strip it and start all over.
Yes, 181 Tactical Fighter Group, 113 Tactical Fighter Squadron, Terre Haute, Indiana. I have the decals for the fuselage, but I am trying to figure out how to do that blasted lightening bolt on the wing tip. In 1/72, that is going to awfully small.
