Ghostly_Substance Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I know you guys are picky with topics but I would like to show you a model i'm working on. Its a old model of the U-Boat and costed me $20 for this nice model. I wanted something to build so I got a U-Boat which could have been outfitted with a engine but I had no engine so it will be my model. For those of you who likes models enjoy. Btw on my second post i'll show you the completed pictures of it.

Darkmark Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Very nice. I can appreciate the effort in making it look good. I used to model WW2 aircraft way back when I was smaller, but never would paint them because I was too afraid I would make a mess of it and ruin them. I still have them all grey and bare hanging in my old room. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Ghostly_Substance Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 I got old model paints which would just damage the looks of the model Maybe later when I get more models i'll get spray paint and get better with building models and have a place to put em all. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSKNF Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Well I'm not sure where exactly you can find them....I found them in my local toy shop (shut up, just shut up.)They're being done by Revell, and in addition to the venator there's also the ARC-170, the AT-RT, the Tri-fighter, and the Jedi Interceptor.

Vader89 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I never was really good with glueing, painting or putting on stickers so i used legos way back when. Ive got a corellian corvette one with like 3,000+ pieces i think, it took me 2 1/2 hours to build, i got it for christmas about 5 years ago, now it sits on my shelf collecting dust. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e144/theairsniper/TAS-Userbar.jpghttp://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/Sharpshooter89720.pngYou Don't Know the Power of the Dark Side!Click for an EaW Countdown Timer!
