I spend how much bucks in silicone molding compound, in resin, in fabrication…only to see that the new kits of the S-100 have DEPTH CHARGES in the kit !!! Yaaaarrrghhh!
Er, yes it does. I can feel your pain…[;)]

I would have had the same low feeling as you if Dragon released their “Korean War” Essex class this year, right after spent all the effort making the scratch parts for the Oriskany.
But now that it is over, I can’t wait to see this new release.
Doh!![banghead][banghead] go figure[censored]
LOL…I was standing in the LHS, with this look on my face. I think they thought I was having a heart attack. Well, at least Jeff H. didn’t waste a ton of time lathing out dc’s…
I thought that only happened in the model railroading world! The unwritten rule of plastic is: If you scratchbuild it, or kitbash it, they will release the kit before you have the last coat of paint on it. [:-^]
Let’s not forget decals!
I finished off an updated 1/720 USS Enterprise in November as a gift for a friend whose daughter is serving on the Big E, and had to get a lot decals custom made to reflect her 2006 appearance.
So naturally, in December, Gold Medal Models came out with their new 1/700 Enterprise decal sheet …
Nice to see the pc police are firmly in place here at FSM…what a yawn. Thanks for the edit. No really.
What was the name of Jeff’s magazine again?
Sumpter250…So true. How many times have we read an article in FSM of someone doing a major scratch building project, usually the subject is an armor vehicle and than a couple months later, if that long, it comes out as a kit. Still…scratch built or OOB, it’s the fun of building that’s importaint.
