goddamn incoherent nerds
Taiwanese, i blame you for reigniting my interest in modelling. I gave up because i was shit at it but the more i look at your planes the more i want a shelf full of model aircraft in my room too. I have a drawer full of the remainders of my collection from when i used to paint them by my foot and a camera somewhere in my room, i'll take some pictures since i'm still kind of pleased with some of them.

My earliest models were absolute shit. You just have to make it clear that you [I]can[/I] get your models to look how you want them to, just only need to apply yourself. My first models that I built and painted were from when I was in 3rd/4th grade. Here's my Hawker Typhoon.

Here's the F/A-18C that I made in middle school.

I've seen kids younger than me turn out pretty good looking models, so I'm sure you'll do fine on your redux. Also, modeling should get its own thread. I don't understand how the modeling thread I made got closed because "modeling belongs in Daily Life" but Spacebuild gets its own thread despite the fact that it should be in vidya.
i remember first model i made some blackhawk i cut out the decals of the dials and shit and tried to glue them onto the control panel, fogged up the glass like fuck, and then finally gave up when i didn't put the landing gear in before the interior despite the instructions screaming at me to
The first thing i painted is this: [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9988278/modelling/fockewulf.JPG[/img_thumb] I'm surprised i still have it, it's lost a couple of bits but it's remained surprisingly intact. The only stuff i've got which i'm happy with are these: [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9988278/modelling/bf109.JPG[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9988278/modelling/anson.JPG[/img_thumb] [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9988278/modelling/spehssmahreen.JPG[/IMG] The space marine is the last thing i painted before i decided that as cool as the 40k universe and miniatures are to me the actual game isn't really that fun to me and the only people nearby i could play it with are idiots. I'm pretty pleased with it, though. It sucks a lot less than the other stuff i painted. My brother's trying to get me to start playing a tabletop WW2 game called Flames Of War, planning to do stalingrad themed soviets, so i get to learn by painting tiny T-34s, yay. If my brother moves out and i get his rooms and more space i'm definately gonna aim for a shelf full of tanks and helicopters.
The first model I made was a F-15E. The paint is caked on and I didn't even have the right grey anyway. Now it's sitting in my closet collecting dust and potentially falling apart. I have a partially assembled A-10 and F-106 that I'll probably never get around to building as well.

Geez sorry my phone camera is five megapixels. I'll thumb them too. I don't know why it is saying I posted them three times though.
Today I bought two Revell kits, a Bf-109 and a Hind, to build and paint along with an F/A-18 and an already-built F-101 Voodoo.
Also, I have a bunch of models laying around, good ones, but my dad has never let me build them. All he ever let me build were rockets. Working rockets. [editline]27th May 2012[/editline] If I could, I'd have more than TiawanesePrick but nope. There is a "65 Pontiac Goat kit sitting straight in front of me. I have no model paint, and no plastic cement or anything.
too lazy to model now tbh the last ones i built (a year ago) i haven't even painted yet

In addition to the garage full of unbuilt models and the eight floor-to-ceiling display cases we have in our living room, there are two public storage units, an apartment in Taiwan, and two office building storage units, plus miscellaneous crates. My mother is so upset by (our) obsession with models, so she spent three weeks counting through our entire collection of kits, the parts count and difficulty (according to the boxes and instructions) and calculated the number of lifetimes it would take my dad and me to finish our entire stash (if model building was all we did 24/7 365 days of the year). It would take us eight lifetimes each. I ain't going to say anything more.
watch as in the future when you forget about those storage units and someone buys one they open it up and they're injured by a huge mass of model boxes raining down on them
MODEL BAWKSES
no, this is a true MODEL BAWKS [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9988278/modelling/metuhl_bawxes.JPG[/img_thumb]
lol the army is dumb. [url]http://www.military.com/daily-news/2012/05/25/in-reversal-army-bans-high-performance-rifle-mags.html#.T8NIjUz0lcU.facebook[/url] Some of the comments are hilarious though. Clearly Obama wants all of our troops to get killed so he's forcing them to use inferior equipment.

It got taken down because OF doesn't like unnoficial merch. Honestly if they sold it I'd still buy it, even if were twice the price.
