actually, scratching an interior is quite easy. I’m doing one for my tiger I. Its just a down hatch interior about 70% accurate. I thought it was going to be hard but once I got going I found it to be pretty easy. So I say, go for it! [tup]
Scratch building? man that way to complicated for me. Not enough IQ in me for that. Good luck though.
Hey, count me in with a 1/144 C-54. I need to have it done by Monday (for a Calculus homework project, go figure), so it’s gonna be a real quick glue up and spray paint sort of build. It won’t be winning any contests. I can get some pics of it already, if it’d be okay.
Calculus ay. Are you a Senior?
haha, seniors here take calc too. If youre only a junior or sophomore, I feel sorry for you, taking Calc when its not your last math class
oh- wel i’m gonna take calc in llth grade. AP physics next year. (10th grade) I’m about to start working on a scratchbuilding project too- an interior for my T-72 T-90 conversion.
Only a freshman. Next year moving on to Adv. Algebra. I hate math.
HOHO! so im gonna hav comp. frm u huh tankmaster? well,we’ll see who wins[;)]
seriusly man, good luck.
as for junior models, well idk. i wasnt at the one last year. the years b4 tht, well, average i suppose. mostly local kids. thers one or two from upstate n outta state tht ive competed gainst for a cuple a years tho, tht are pretty good. one if from round lake champlain, n is alright. cuple car buildrs i think too. but (not tryin to brag here) ive won each best juniors here, in Rochester, n in Syracuse, not to mention a cuple things in canada.

i got physics next year i suppose, AP American history, french 4 (why didnt they have german lst year!!!) English 11 Honors ( i think) not sure wuts up for math, n religion, n maybe somthin in computers nextyear, like java, if i can still join in…
reb: im turin 16 sat. but i mite not get my student liscence even for a cuple weeks, cuz we only got 1 DMV in the area ( of over 100,000 pepl) due to massive -AZZ budget probs. it really sucks

pe 10

Anybody know how the junior competition is at the nats? I mean, I’d hate to have a T-72 use a resin conversion to get it to a T-90 scratchbuild an interior for it, only to find I’m competing against a 11 year who built his first model… (The T-90 w/ scratch interior is my next project BTW)
ive scratched an entire interior for a t-34, outta balsa, some paper, and a little sprue, turned out awesome! (i didnt put in an engine) i got my liscense in Jan. BUT i dont have a car yet, and i am REALLY MAD!!! i wanted to get a 1957 CHEVY BEL AIR for 5500 here but it got sold, then i wanted to get my moms BMW 3-- (i forgot) but she said i have to get a job first, but i cant get one during school or summer cuz im goin to poland for a month! AND WHAT REALLY GETS ME MAD!!! my friend got a 1971 MustanG!!! with a cobra jet engine!!! AHH!!! (but he doesnt get his liscence till june hehehehe sucker…)
i STILL didnt order the 7TP…i need to get some $$ back then i can order it, (and pinstriping brushes!!! (gonna start doing that, so mayb ill bcome a professional pinstriper, havin my own paint shop, makin $$$ doin what i love!! dream sequence))
HEY, rebel hows our new badge coming along?
tank, I dont know about the competetion at the nationals, but I assume it would not be 10 year olds. Most parents would realize that the National competetion is not the right place to start out and if they did let the kid, that would be their problem because I bet there are going to be wonderful, amazing junior models that could easily beat the 10 year old.
i agree with scer. yer gonna have kids from othr countries goin to nats. some of the best inth e world.
Well, Pre-Calc, but who’s counting? We’re in the Calc book by now, anyway. (Junior) I hate math, too, but for some reason I took it even when I could have stopped at Algebra II. [:(!] Whaddaygonna do?
Believe it or not, the C-54 is about 98% finished. It’s definitely not the prettiest bird on tarmac, but I was saved by the kit’s wealth of decals. Windows, marking, even wing de-icer boots. It turned out rather well, I think.
This weekend I figure I’ll do the actual Calc part of it, something about making a box with the greatest possible volume given the dimentions of the edges. You have to personalize the sucker, so I’ll turn it into a tarmac. [:D] I love when you can combine homework with pleasure!
Your lucky evrey project I’ve had so far is boring. Had to make a m,ap of China during the Tang China with the GRand Canal on it then talk about it. Really boring. Good luck on the project .
this is young guns one, so its relevant. I’m almost done painting it, only need to make the wheels a rubber mix and spray the underside of the model. Then weather with my MIG powders and take it to the contest tomorrow in Fairfax. O, and get the rest of the “tree branches” done.
wish me luck
