[:o] TROY [:o]

I was about ready to send out a search party for you!! [;)]

There’s rumblings of a Chinook GB, but unfortunately, the phantom 1/35 kit won’t be part of it… [:(] The good part, is we have someone bashing one of the Aurora Hook’s into a “D” Model sitting opened up, as in pre-flight inspection, two or three who’s going to be working the 1/72 kits, and I’m about to commit on bashing one of the 1/144 “D” Model’s into the “Model 347” winged Chinook.

Thought you’d like to see the work I just finished; the construction of a Modelcraft 1/48 Cessna Skyhawk, into the 1976 Cessna 172M, that I took my Lisa out on our first date in, almost 22 years ago. (for her, for our Anniversary next month)

Here’s WHAT I did…

And here’s HOW I did it… http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=26766

(The Prop-Blur description was posted today in the “Diorama” section)

I thought you might like to see how I displayed it. The method isn’t difficult at all, but produces a breathtaking Display and conversation piece! [:)]

Take care buddy, glad to see your name on here again! [:)]

Hey Frank, I’ve read your How to-article and I wonder if it can be done with a chopper too. The difficulty then would be to give the rotor-head a “blurry-effect”.
I’de like to see you crack this problem [:D]

I knew you was okay!!!
By the way, Troy. Now I’m gonna have to buy ANOTHER Revell Huey kit!!!
I had started this one as an in-flight dio build and I ain’t about to cover up the detail on those gorgeous seats with the crusty butt of some chopper pilot!!!
Thanks, Bud!!! Talk to you later!!!
And hey Frank? I posted the same question as Dan in one of the other forums. I would really be interested in knowing what you think about it, too.
Later!!!
