Re: 1/18 buildings
I'm not married. I've never even had a girl friend.
All in all, im going to try the plaster method first. I assume I can make about 30+ bricks a pop with little effort. I'll try both though.

You know what, as much as I fantasize about that... I almost don't think I want that. I mean, if I meet a girl into RC, we would probably have to share.
LOL
Who knows, maybe one day!

Hey at least you'll both go shopping in RC stores, or would you rather be waiting around outside changing rooms in the girly boutiques?flyboy_fx wrote:

Whoops... hey Flyboy don't worry bout it, I was just kidding, my own experiences are just an illustration, your results may vary. Consult board members if fear symptoms persists...

Re: 1/18 buildings
I think the price you start the auction was perfect.With the great amount of details you put in to it,it is a fair starting point,and it may keep going up.You are facing the same problem Germans had in WWII.The complexity of the product and amount of hours invested make the production cost higher . keep up the good work

Re: 1/18 buildings
That's is just so amazingly (if that's a word) cool!!! I've ALWAYS wanted to make a big Normandy Town (Carentan) diorama! I just don't have the skills yet. What do you use for carving the walls?
P.S. How old are you? Are you in College?

Re: 1/18 buildings
Not sure on military yet. I know I want to do it... Hard choice. College first.
As much as I love planes I might not do airfarce, probably the navy. Still unsure. My mom was in the airforce.

Re: 1/18 buildings
I tell you FlyBoy. These look just great.
That first ruin looks like a real bombed out building.
The white plaster build looks like it will be another winner as well.
