so in my first attempt at remodelization of my inhabitants...I went out and bought a model airplane..I'm painting it now as we speak, and will start assembly of it as soon as possible.


anyone else build model airplanes or boats or cars and such...any advice?

bought a friend an rc plane for his bday. he killed it.

ouch....thats not quite an uplifting story i was intending, but thanks...ill make sure not to fly this one

i once bought a model VW bug..'66. totally modified it though from what the box had on it... and i painted it a candy apple red, shit looked tight too!!!

niiiiicee

I got some advice. Don't paint it while you're being distracted on a forum!...and can I play with it?

lol im being very careful w/ it...and no, u may not, its too delicate

is it remote control or control line? i flew control line combat for about 15 years. everyone thinks RC is better than CL, but the few who have seen control line combat have agreed that it is much better.

I think by Model airplane, he just means the ones you build and hang from the ceiling or set on a desk.

oh. then those are lame as hell.

I want an RC Helicopter.

my advise to you is since i have 4 model planes of my own is DONT HANG THEM IN THE ROOF! or if you do make sure they stay there i hung my up and they stayed.........for a couple of months but when i open my window they fall down from the wind and its not fund trying to fix demolished scrapheaps

for the glue, use "hot stuff." its like a super super duper glue that is the best for model airplane assembly.

i like to sniff the glue (gives a great feeling)

but you want it to be precise, no?

That sounds like great fun a1!

Unfortunally, due to budget issues I couldn't get into that hobbie.

I love those WWII fighter planes.

very true..i justed noticed it would be good to have one of those knives right about now

find a hobby shop and tell them what you are doing, they will get you started ok.

So how does the plane look like ?

its the Wright brothers plane

be careful, X ACTO knives are surgically sharp.

^ Hence the X ACTO !

lol ohhh i know that all too well..a friend of mine had one in her pocket one once, she forgot that the sheath was off, put her hands in her pocket and left a inch and a half, two inch gash across the front of her hand....that was about 4 or 5 stitches

i have had my share of X ACTO cuts too.

theyre not perty
