Revell F 105F/G Thunderchief

Howdy Guys,

Ok, I know ya'll are thinking "Does this guy sleep? Just how many models can he work on at one time?"
Well, yes I do sleep, although not alot recently due to neck troubles. As for how many models can I work on at one time, well, I now have only 3 started.
Anyway, I just finished this revell 1:48 scale model of the F 105F/G Thuinderchief also known as a "THUD". I had this model many years ago when I was younger and just recently bought it again when I found out I was going to be off work for awhile.
So, without any further (insert that french word here that means waiting)
Here is the completed model on my driveway this morning.

Have a good day,

Greg aka GW

Of course GW, I can't imagine the frustration of being off work and not fit enough to do what you want with the time.

At least modelling and photography give you creative outlets and are things you obviously enjoy.

absolutly lovely model there GW and what a superb spray job!!!

you must have a shed load of models stocked up for this time you have off work. lol

very good idea to put your name on the photos, that way no one can steal them and claim them as their own!

Howdy RJ,

First Thanks for the Kinds words. And about the number of models......I am running low, I need to order me some more. I currently have the long barreled M 110 self propelled Howitzer by italeri, the Shinmeiwa PS1/US1 Seaplane by hasegawa, SR 71 by revell, A 37 dragonfly light attack plane by Hasegawa, The X 15 by revell and the F 4d stingray by hasegawa.
After those, I am out of models.
But, I just spent $177 on models last week (7 models). I remember when a model kit in 1:48 scale could be bought for $4 or $5 dollars or less. Now they cost a Minimum of $7, but most range from $15 to $40.
Oh well, time to break out my catalog from www.squadron.com and give them some more of my money.
As for the "name on the photos", I like to Identify the models anyway in the pics and adding my name doesnt take any longer. (esides, I have all these wondrful photo editing tools and I gotta use em so I get my moneys worth out of them lol. I used to "enhance" alot of photos of ppl back when I had my website up and running.
Below is a photo of a REGULUS II Nuclear missile that I built from paper, it is 1:48 scale and not actually flying, that is all achieved by my photo editing software. I figure this is a "scale model" website, doesnt say "plastic" anywhere lol. I have tons of paper models incase I do run out of plastic ones, and thousands of more paper ones can be downloaded on the net.

Have a good day,

Greg aka GW

Greg, you are perfectly correct we are a "Scale Models" forum which includes every medium you can think of, not just plastic.

**wonwinglo** · 28-06-2006

Yes,I totally agree with that one,even squashed Pepsi cans in the shape of an aeroplane will suffice ( yes,you guessed it,someone from Argentinal builds in just such material !) all the fun of modelling,in fact card treated with a coat of shellac is like alloy,I have a book somewhere on card ship modelling and every wonderful model in the book is built from card treated in this way.
We have Lego,Meccano,plastic,wood,card,metal modellers here,as long as you can manipulate whatever you have then we want to see it.

The Thud and the Regulus are super models,that smoke really looks effective Greg.
Thats quite the arsenal that you have there.
