Don't believe for second that the 8th graders going to DC is "free". I have 1,000,000 frequent flyer miles with NWA traveling to that city. And those kids are NOT traveling free. It's almost $200/night per room to stay in DC nowadays. That's far from free. And somebody is paying for it.

Too right, Matt! My young daughter (15) is flying out next month with some from her school, New York-Washington -New York for 6 days, I think, I'll have to check with her mother when we speak next. It's subsidised, but still costing over £900, about $1800 to $2000, from me!
I told her she better get me some shots from the Smithsonian!!

Well, since I'm a tax-payer in NJ - have a good trip on me B-17!!

back on topic

You damn well better, boy!

ha ha. I hope you have a great time.

Thanks a lot guys. The 8th graders do a lot of fundraisers (car wash,magazine drive, a play) and if they don't make enough money then parents pay the remainder.

[B-17engineer]

Oh ah the nailing? I just finished the spackle...I'll take a picture of the heavy duty stapler.....I used all the nails and there covered by the spackle....going to take pictures of it all now....check with figures (i am not using but in 1/72) all formations i made are to scale....I am so happy!


P.s. My thumb is fine!!

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok everything has been since flattened out or smooth but not all of it...(to keep texture) I Know it sounds quick but it took me from 2:50 to 4:20 p.m.

 

[B-17engineer]

The others are coming but umm they were a little bit screwed up when I posted them.....

 

[Wurger]

Holy crap.I was sure you know.Is the frame your main one or it is for building time only?

 

[B-17engineer]

I have another one..........why?

 

[pbfoot]

try using a trowel or putty knife to smooth it out a bit , its so rough your going to have a problem painting it without white spots showing . If you don't have a putty knife just borrow one of moms spatulas

 

[Wurger]

I have another one..........why?

Because if you would use masking tape for the frame masking, you would have it clear.What is more, the tape would protect it against damages.Of course it is a kind of economy aswell because the second one you could use for the next diorama couldn't you?

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok! Thanks guys
