Who Is Into Scale Modelling?

[Dr_PepPeR]

And Ill be the one staring at the pretty models.

 

Scale models.

 

 

 

See you there guys!

 

Yeah... right... Are there any fellow AFV modelers here? I'd like to ask about the new AFV Club, DML, Bronco and Trumpeter kits that are out now.

[Boelcke]

Theres sure to be plenty of them, Doc. In recent years the AFV entries have exceeded the plane entries.

You should ask them to join MTC Herr Boelcke, I can't decide which new kits to add to my unfinished kit stash.

[Boelcke]

Will do, Doc.

 

[Dr_PepPeR]

On what dates are the nationals again?

[Boelcke]

Doc,

 

Nationals on November 24-28, 2008.

 

Ill keep posting updates on the precise dates and area. But its certainly going to be in SM Mega.

 

See you there!!

just a question. scale model, as in ready to install plastic parts? or scale model. paper model draw it yourself on paper, fold type of scale model?

[Boelcke]

Well, strictly speaking, scale models include paper models. But if youre referring to the IPMS Bert Anido Nationals, its more of the plastic scale model kind. The ones you buy in kit form and assemble and paint.

yep. i've done that too. problem lang kasi magastos, mabigat sa pera. especially when i saw this abram tank sa SM fairview. gusto ko bilhin, then i realized, walang oras na isassemble and cash din.. wears thin. then wala pa malagyan na model.

 

so i changed to cardmodelling. sulit. you might want to try it out. paper lang. and if you have rhino? you can model it up, then you'll know how many folds you'll need.

 

anyway. just sharing. gusto ko rin model kits. sad to say, walang budget.

 

just search google: cardmodelling.

 

they have a forum for this stuff. maganda to for making those big sets of models, for your kit models. you'll get tips from there as well.

Herr Boelcke, arghhh why hold it during workdays? Now I have to find an excuse to make a client call in that area and I can't bring the misus along to show her what kits and other stuff I need to buy.

I've seen some of the models in the net that have been made out of paper, including a lot of military aircraft and AFVs. Hard to believe they're made out of paper. IMHO it still takes as much time to do a good paper model as a plastic model. You still have to paint it well and take care of the finish. Have you tried out 1/72 aircraft and armor? Some of them come out to less than P200 each and they have very good detail, especially for the new kits.

[Boelcke]

Doc,

 

The venue's schedule is pretty crunched up, if we wanted a week-long (or what would qualify as a week-long thingy), wed have to agree to the available sked. Punta ka na! Its almost as good as a trip to the spa.

Going to Megamall on a weekday isn't exactly fun but maybe the entries will make me drool. I miss the time when this was held in Harrison Plaza. Sigh.
