i just rediscovered the hobby... i'm building an F-14A, 1/144 scale... planning to collect that scale for now until have regained my "skill".



Grrr... no wonder ang bilis maubos ng mga 1/144 scale Shanghai Dragon aircrafts sa STC and Hobbytoi.... grrrr.....

ba't mo alam? you must be the one who bought all those remaining 1/144's and that truckful of 1/72's... leave some naman! kahit isa lang... or perhaps, bili ka na lang muna other things like paints, paint bottles and putty? you might drown na sa dami niyan! di ka na makatayo! hehehe

You're in luck shonen, both stores still have your beloved Harrier. S'an ba yung bibilhan mo, yung sa STC or yung sa Hobbytoi? I also spotted A-10 Thunderbolts dun. Still waiting for their next batch of 1/144 Shanghai Dragons.... ganda pang-practice.

Thanks! Actually bili muna ako isa for practice bago yung mass production noon. Baka sayang lang pag binili ko agad lahat eh. Either of the two shops ako bibili. Nung Sat. isa lang naispot ko na AV-8B sa Hobbitoi. Di ko rin nabili kasi aliw ako doon sa Bradley book. BTW, hanapan nyo naman ako ng Harrier books. Sigurado ako meron nito lahat ng STC branches since sa Hobbitoi ang dami nang selections. Sayang lang at walang Harrier

Post ka naman ng inprogress pics mo!

Oki, I will when I get the chance. Where do you guys usually post the in-progress pics ba? I'm working on three 1/144 scales right now.
- Mini Hobby Model F16 XL
- Shanghai Dragon F16A Falcon
- Shanghai Dragon F15C Eagle

I checked out the gallery and woah! Mukang nakakahiya naman ipakita sa madlang earth ang pinag-papraktisan kong model. Kumbaga "I'm not worthy" to show my work-in-progress, much less my first three would-be-finished works in the gallery. Ehehehe

how much more na "not worthy" yung sa akin? at least sa iyo, airbrush-painted na yan! kaya post mo na! :-) newbies in most areas like me could learn even more from whatever you would be posting....

OK lang yun! Everybody has to start somewhere diba? Yung mga masters na yun nagsimula rin sa brush-painted models so don't be shy

I must agree with Jeep. Ako rin dati pangit mga gawa pero ayos lang. Everyone here give me a good constructive criticism that I use to make better models. Go check my website, makikita mo doon yung ibang works ko di gano kaganda. Thanks to them, I have gained some experience.

Kung kailangan mo nang mas malaking space, try www.150megs.com. It is the website me and Jeep use to post in our works beside the Armorama gallery.

Reagrding posting pics, pwede dito para mga Pinoys lang muna makakakita, sa AC forum (kung AC ha, kung tanks doon sa armor), Rivet Review or Critics cornerkung saan pupunahin nila lahat. Don't worry, they'll just help you in.

AV8Harrier,

Ikaw pala yun. We talked for a while yesterday. Remember me? Hope to see you next meet. Join ka na!

Cbrain & CSMeekai,
Dont ever be ashamed to post pics of your work. Remember that not everybody can build scale models. Some dont even have the patience to put together an unpainted model. What we do is a work of art. It takes patience and passion to build. So be proud. We're a breed apart.

CBrain & CS Meekai,

Buck's right!! Don't be embarrased to post your work. Everybody had to start in the beginning. Plus, posting in-progress pics can help you improve your skills because people are always giving constructive advice. It's what I love about this site. Feedback is always good and never bad.

We would love to see your builds,
Wanze

Yup! Thats me, Allan. Just tell me or any member what you need. If we know how to do it, we'll most certainly teach you. Learning process naman ang modeling. We have to discover each other's techniques.

Sayang you and Tanker couldnt come last Sunday. Sabagay impromptu meeting lang last Sunday. Anyway, we have several new members who attended. Homer "Duff", Jose "Skinner", Brian Hansen (yes, an American), Amiel "Redknight" , Vino "Shrikes", and ....

CBrain & CSMeekai,

Welcome aboard IPMS-P-BAC!!! Glad to have you with us.

According to Mr. Hunter, Jose/Skinner is not officially signed up as a member. He's the only non-member who hasa callsign. #:-)

Harrier, I've tried their ship kits. It's more or less a knock-off of Dragon. I dunno about the a/c though. I had a helluva time working the kit. In this case, it did have a lot of fitting problems so that means extra work filing, sanding and filling.

I got me a Mini Hobby Model 1:144 F-16XL and all I can say is.... the quality is very far from Dragon's or Academy's. Parang hand-scribed yung panel lines... ewww.... some of the ordnances are badly molded... parang mis-aligned yung molds nila..... There are also some 1:72 aircrafts that I inspected (good thing hindi sealed yung boxes sa STC) and I noticed na the F/A-18s had raised panel lines while their F-16s had rather too deep and rather wide recessed panel lines. I'd rather stick to other brands despite the MHMs being cheaper.

Practice lang yan. For me I prefer tube glue. Nanunuyot nga lang paminsan-minsan. Post ka ng prog pics, they'll be glad to help you out.. And also, you cannot escape AMS! Hahahaha.
