Its my first build on commission. I hope to get more orders to build 1/700 aircraft in the future
As usual any comments or questions are welcome.

They look very nice Nektarios! Did you already mention where you or your friend got those Indian decals from?

30 euro's + 15 euro's.
I can buy an 1/350 scale aircraft carrier for that at the local modelshop.
Bad, that they only have every time the same ships.
always 1/720 ronald reagan, 1/350 enterprise,1/545 saratoga, and tirpitz 1/545.
And an 1/120 scale submarine from 400 euro's O.o

Right, I keep forgetting that shipping costs are much higher when shipped outside the country. How close to the German border do you live? You don't plan on hopping over to...I don't know, say Oberhausen... to go shopping on a weekend, do you? Because I live about 100km from Venlo and I could just order the ship for you and give it to you in person so it won't cost you more than 30. Just an idea.

North holland to germany.
Lets say 120km?

Mitch

He only orders in stacks of Five? Gee, no wonder he hasn't ordered anything new for ships in the last twenty years. Ask him if you can order a mixed stack of five, then, or else see if there's another local shop where the owner's got a few more brain cells rubbing together. Speaking of which, I should get those model numbers to Clem so he can try and order them through Hobbycrap for me. Hopefully they won't duck the fog like they did on that tank I tried getting through them.

Its his only shop.
And yes always the same model's.
Thats why i got the models that are regular...
missouri, ronald reagan,tirpitz.... ''-.-

Oh, this week belgium has made an invasion into my city (fake its an training, but its cool)
monday night they land in here.
Ore sunday night i cant remember xD
Hell of a sound *i liked it*
Everywhere gunsounds, since then.
4 helicopters flying over all the time.
And 2 fighterplanes (f16 i quess)
I even found a long range heavy light from nitecore that the belgiums use on their guns.
It layed in the grass.
No way im gonna give it back
I can shine into my neighbours house
Im gonna piss the belgiums off tomorrow.
Waterguns ready, and extra waterbottles.
Im gonna spray them wet, and look if they shoot *fake* back
Gonna act like an rebel to play the scenerio whit them
Mitch

Mitch, I was meaning other hobby stores in town, or in the neighbouring area - you might find a different distributor connection, or a smarter dealer, elsewhere in your area - I know if I go into Ottawa, or call them, the Hobby House in Ottawa can stock a lot more in regards to other companies. I could also hit the net and contact Udisco in Montreal, for other companies.

I'm with you on the idea of playing the "Resistance" Mitch - you're damn skippy I'd be in on that idea!

I have no idea where he got them. I ll ask him and let you know.

I hope to do a few interesting schemes in some upcoming builds, who knows what I'll pull out of my hat - I am crazy, and no, I'm not changing my dosage. Ever.

You shouldn t change your dosage. No one asked you to. You re a nice guy (and crazy sometimes).

The MiG-29s have a standard navy 2 colour camo scheme. We re in the lo-viz era. I d like to see aircraft in hi viz camo too.

High Viz would look bloody wicked. We need somebody to do some Sea Raptors, or other new era aircraft, in that Raptor Semi-metal Camo. That would at least look cool. I guess I might have to do my Warlike Spruances and such into ROCN colours so I can have some bright blues on the aircraft, or maybe a CVL in Japanese service, with F-2's on the deck in that beautiful Blue on Blue camo. In an age where stealth isn't so much a case of optical deception anymore, the world could use some flashy colours.

Glad you agree, Nektar - I'm never changing the dosage. I LIKE my insanity. That and some people at the post office would miss it. If I started sounding reasonable, the world would be confused.

Simon, there are F-22s in 1/700 included in the newer modern aircraft set S-21.

Heiko, i asked and was told that the decals were custom made by Starfighter decals.

Great work on the Migs. Normal high standards

Happy Modeling

Thanks Nektarios! I didn't know they take orders like that. I'm thinking that wouldn't have been really cheap if it was one single order.

I wanna post my latest shipline productions
21th century battleships:
Small pic: sorry for the flash, i made it in bmp and had to do jpg otherwise to big (13.5mb whit bmp and 225 kb whit jpg )

If u want the real file in bmp, just tell me.
Then i upload in rar file
This time it whas a 100% what if challenge.
Tell me what u think about it
Is it possible to make these ships?
Ore are they crap in the weaponairy
Ore is it just to good?
1st battleship:
USS montana 2009 class (super battleship)
Weapons: 18''tripple x4, 5''stealth dual x10, 76mm oto merla x2 <-- the 5'' duals are same guns as iowa class 1945, but then a stealth look
HMS Hood 2009 class (fast battleship)
Weapons: 15''duals x4, 76mm oto merla x2
KMS Gneisenhau class (fast battleship)
Weapons:14.96''duals x4, 5''duals x8 , 76mm oto merla x4
KMS Tirpitz 2009 class (super battleship)
Weapons: 16.54'' duals x4, 5''duals x8 , 76mm oto merla x6

All the older guns are ''modernised'' got sensors and stuff like that.
like the german 14.96'' and 5'' duals has the blue censor spots, if u look closer.
And all the forward guns, kan trow their barrels up to the sky, so they can launch rockets.
Also the .50 caliber guns u see are stealthy and are duals..
Sort of gatling guns to
I need an idea for an next battleship...
4x quad 16'' king george class?
Yamato 2009 class?
I dont know anymore :S

Mitch

I like the bottom design best, but they are all very intriguing...hmm, I smell another what-if project...

Lol if somebody can scratch build 1 of these ships, then hes modelking!
would be hard to do.
Especially the trip 18'' from the montana.
all a bit bigger then the 16'' from iowa.

Starfighter decals has some items that aren't in their catalogue like decals for all ships of the Type 122 class.

Mitch you may build a Super-Yamato 2009. There is a whiff kit already in the market and it is too expensive.

Another good candidate for a whiff project is Montana class but you need to buy the expensive IHP kit.

You can try Alaska class also or even Iowa class.

Avery Boyer wrote:I like the bottom design best, but they are all very intriguing...hmm, I smell another what-if project...

I sense that one of us could do that whiff project.

*whistles as he hears the discussion*

I'm not paying attention!!!

*hides the plans he has for a Yamato BBGHN*

Yesterday i got my new display case from IKEA i assembled it and voila.

I intend to put inside it the dioramas i intend to make with postwar ships from Korea to Desert storm period.




I think the space inside the display case won t be enough so i guess i 'll have to buy a second one.
