Scifi and Fantasy / Re: Hammerhead - Space Above and Beyond - Finished

Looks excellent, BT! 

Was never a fan of the show because I never got to watch any of it (well, maybe half an episode) but I like the aesthetic.


Not a fan of the interchangable infantry-pilots idea, though - makes zero sense in any universe.

Looking good like a Hammerhead should!  That was one of the things about SAAB that really appealed to me was the SA-43 but in the show it was never in focus long enough to really appreciate all of its features.  Worse yet, was the Chig fighters that were vague tri-wing shapes that were always just out of focus so were never any real details to be seen beyond the general shape.  I suppose that made the things more ominous to the viewers.

Another option is a clear coat.

Not necessarily any better, but another option.

I was hoping to attend this year but cancer treatment (my wife's) & an impending 2nd grandchild have put paid to that plan.

Have fun, all who attend!

Get people thinking!

Five axles sounds good   After all, the U.S. did design a 10x10 amphibious APC.

Sounds interesting!
I’ve got a M151 Jeep converted to an MRC-108 radio Jeep. It’s been around 30 years or more. It was the vehicle I used on active duty as a FAC. All it needs is antennas and various details added. I’ll try to paint up a figure to go with it that will represent me in my stud muffin days.

If not already mentioned, how about finish your oldest unfinished project? Just nobody get hurt digging around in the attic or basement! 
I’ve got one in mind. And if you finish the oldest project for the GB and want to do another just proceed to the second oldest, then third oldest, etc. Allowances made for shoddy memories like mine.

Is relevant to me.  Started Revell USS Olympia kitbash in 2009 or 2010.  As recall is maybe 1/3 built.  Have to dig to find it and survey.  Not 1/72 gunboat.  Was building to pass as modernized for WW2 in OOB scale.  Challenge is to find it.  This type GB is reason to get back to it.

Invasion of Japan/Japan ‘46 GB / Re: Blue Widows

I recall in Europe when there were no night bombing by the Germans anymore the P-61s were used in the strike role with some still having the four .50s on top and the four 20mm. I think some even carried bombs too.
