| RodN | 30-Mar-08 03:23 | | She's looking really good sweetwillie!! Great job. |
| Barnstormer | 30-Mar-08 17:58 | | It Looks great SW, just keep doing what makes you happy. A model is a model, just different approaches to building. A wise man once or twice said " If the end result comes out like you want it to, then you are done, but the enjoyment you get is in the journey getting there." Or in words kinda like that. He also said "All you can do with it when its finished is look at it". So take enjoyment in the process getting there and keep on building, I'm looking forward to seeing your next work. |
| sweetwillie | 30-Mar-08 18:10 | | Thanks for the encouragement, guys, I really appreciate it, I live out in the country, and most of my friends are dead or moved away, so I really enjoy the fellowship among my new friends at VA. I really enjoyed this build. And I REALLY enjoy looking at it. It's almost, I said, Almost, like looking at a beautiful woman. |
| Barnstormer | 30-Mar-08 18:25 | | Hey, SW I know what you mean, I dont have alot in common with the people that I work with, and the Iraq war took my good friend Richard Salter, the man that tought me how to really fly after leaving flight school. These guys and gals here at V.A. have been better friends than anyone can ask for. A good group of people!!!!!! |
| jgood | 30-Mar-08 19:22 | | Looks really good SW! Looking forwards to the finished photos. |
| poppy | 30-Mar-08 19:37 | | Mean looking Sparrow and Phoenix missiles. Model looks great! |
| sweetwillie | 30-Mar-08 19:42 | | Thanks, guys, coming from you, it really means a lot. It's like getting the Silver Star. I made some mistakes on this model, but I learned from them, I've bought two more plastic models on the internet, and I'll pay for them tomorrow, and probably get them in about a week. I have a collection of eagles in my home, so I'll add an F-15 Eagle to my collection of birds. I'm looking forward to building it. |
| sweetwillie | 30-Mar-08 19:47 | | Barney, I'm sorry about your friend, I know what it's like to lose a friend in an untimely fashion. What did you fly? I always wanted to be a pilot, but when I went in the Navy in 1957, I was color blind, and back then, it prevented me from going to flight school.
If I can find decals for VF-74 The Bedevilers in high visibility, I'll finish it. So far I've found them on the internet, but they're out of production, if anyone knows where I can find them, please let me know. |
