    Hey, it's always good to hear from you! Haven't talked in a while, so here is the latest. Was in Afghanistan from Summer 2010 through Summer 2011, and now have a teaching job. Everything is fine, and really busy. Trying to find my way into a PhD program so that I can find more enhanced job ops. What about you?

    You know that Firefly/SE rivalry you mentioned at another site is really fascinating. You also made a good point with that.

    I agree completely ,and I wouldn't make anything that wouldn't be usable. I move quite a bit so I always go for durability. My thought for the engine necelles was to carve a wooden block to the basic shape for a templet and then vacuform plastic 2 sets and then add resin or plastic for all the details and realism. Back in december at the hangar that my dad works at there was an osprey there for a couple of days for maintenane, so I got lots of pics of it, especially the engines, so I have enough referance material that I could make it look right. As for the fuselage, that may be interesting. I would think the sea knight from chap mei is the way to go, but the rear engne and exhaust etc may be a problem. I'd have to take a good look at it first, as the elevator and rudder would take up alot of that space, but it may be interesting depending on exactly how much it would take up. I could make it work though.

    I've got a few ideas but I'll do some brainstorming first incase I can think of something better. I'll keep you up to date though. If you get any ideas lmk

    Again, as I said this canopy for the apc was just a simple 1 hour project, no shading or weathering of any sort, just simple paint from an airbrush. Also, sorry if this takes up your whole page lol

    I'll post up some pics in a second of my latest work I did today. Nothing amazing, just a simple repaint with my airbrush of the 1983 apc canopy. I'm also showing you a pic of my most recent plastic model(which is how I acquired much of my skill with painting, weathering and working with styrene). I can paint in pretty much any style due to trial and error with the models. Now as for the osprey, I don't know, it would all depend on what I had to start with. I definately couldn't do one from scratch though(thats a tough one, I don't really know anybody that could do one convincing enough). I could do large aircraft though, thats no problem at all. BTW the pics are from the droid phone so I don't know how they will turn out

    Hey, I know your into custom stuff, if you ever need anybody to do any vehicle customs give me a shout. I can do pretty much anything up to basic scratchbuilding and I use an airbrush giving higher quality finishes and more options and capabilities for my projects. I enjoy customizing vehicles but don't have a ton of funds and hate to dip into my collection as its all minty, leaving me with a dilema :)
