I too have those Blazing Combat mags in my vast collection. They are a pretty penny these days especially the #1. High grade examples are well into the 500 or more mark. Look at those covers will ya! Mood, movement and a true sense of capturing a moment in time. These are prime examples of why Frazetta, Wrightson, Jeffery Jones, Mike Kaluta, Mike Ploog and a great many others are head and shoulders above mere mortals by being able to tell a story with a single image.

Well it has been quite the journey Chris. From day one till now I have been with you hoping you fulfilled your quest to build the ultimate Snake. You have without a doubt achieved that with much to spare and i wanted to congratulate you on what is the finest 1/16 scale AA/FC model of ANY car to run the 1320. There were times it seems you doubted yourself but all of us knew you would do it. And here we are brother, looking at it and wondering how it was achieved even though we all saw it come together lo these few years. A hearty congrats to you Sir and so say all of us! My humble respect. Bob Frias

Nearly complete. The reds on the ax are drying and the sword got a coat of oil to make it pop and is also drying. Tomorrow it will be complete and ready for some lighting if I can find a spot and lighting to make it eerie enough. For now this shot will do. A great kit from Moebius.

You gonna build it soon Vince?

Thanks guys. Please forgive the open seam at the waist and below. Once the arm is attached that area becomes completely blocked with the arm and shield and I didn't feel the need to putty it.

I agree. Once complete a little set up will be required to get the eerie look of the painting. I've had the pleasure of seeing the real painting up close and although it was quite a few years ago i remember it being surreal. As many times as I've seen the image nothing beats seeing something in the flesh. I recommend the Frazetta museum highly to those who admire art of any kind and fantasy art in particular. Since he is the father of all fantasy art. I have quite a few touch ups and ground work but I'll have it finished before the weekend is out. Perhaps I'll have the moody pics that an image like this truly deserves.

No sense calling it a WIP since it is almost complete. Arm bits are drying and awaiting further refinement. Great kit overall and seems to impress hobbyists and non alike. Very imposing when looked at in person. No enamels on this 100% Acrylic paint. The base will get the royal treatment with bits of grass possibly. Lots of airbrush work that is certain. Moebius certainly know how to pick a subject.

This simple trick should get you there. Get some of you favorite clear. Add just a touch of white paint. I would do some test runs on some chrome first. Make an almost pearlish clear if you will. I use Tamiya clear and Tamiya flat white. Works like a charm. Bob

Sounds OK. if you have a question ask. Take some pics and I can quickly give you some info. I am quite literally a walking encyclopedia of comics and comic history.

65 degrees and sunny today. Didn't get out much but there are better days ahead. Welcome Spring. Bout Dang Time!

Very sorry. I hope she was peaceful and without pain.

The coolest car ever. Many of us have built this kit and others like it. Search around and see.

I like them all in pretty equal measure. But if backed into a wall. 55

Got my kits today and am very pleased. One of the open kits could have been rearranged properly. But other than that I'm stoked.

A shame that. He made many people happy with his antics. I cannot imagine what it must have been like to be so tiny in a world of tallest is best. R.I.P.

I think it was I who bought the last one for a commission build. Good stuff.

I have this very compressor. It works fantastically, makes little noise and doesn't pulse due to the tank. I bought it off Amazon and mine came with a decent airbrush as well. No concerns at this time and I've used it a lot over the last 2 years.

For what it's worth it should be allowed. Randy's and many other sites have it. Never had a problem when using PayPal.

Looks to me like a bunch of us now have orders in various stages of progress. I say we convene here and compare notes.

Thanks Dave. I'm feeling what you're saying.

Congrats to both. I'm certain you'll do quite well.

A dear friend of mine in Maryland raced on-line in a NASCAR league. They has a race with an "Anything goes" type format. You can modify your vehicle in any way you like and appear on the racetrack a few minutes before the race. i think the goal was to whip out some cool skins and be kind of a clown. He skins a car in a van and puts "Free Candy" on the side. Insta ban and never to be seen again. Funny? You decide. He was/is a member here.

All Y'all are missing the best show on TV which is Legion. Yes TWD was sorta lame. And the whole Hilltop planning a coup of some type will pit loved characters against each other. That should halve the viewership yet again. LEGION is a must watch. Brilliantly written and acted.

Thank You both for the service you provided. I had two Uncles out in it at that time. They came back "different".
