Micha Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) I'd like to come in with some war stuff ... an F-104 G Starfighter (Luftwaffe) in 1:144 Actually, there's a birthday party of a nerd (me) on Friday and I'm not sure how I feel on Saturday ... but I'll give my very best I'll show the current status on my gallery ... > HERE EDIT: Finished after 16 hours. Lockheed F-104 G Starfighter (Luftwaffe) in 1:144 Edited September 12, 2010 by Micha
Micha Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) so many colours for such a small model Edited September 9, 2010 by Micha
mrcooljules Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 i have never done a 1/144 scale plane....maybe one day, also i have never made a starfighter and only 1 kit in my collection, the very old Mbox kit. Starfighter does nothing for me, such a ugly plane :-)
Micha Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) thanks guys! I hope to finish that job within 24 hours. I can't start on Saturday morning. I'll sleep till noon and hope to get my head clear I guess, I can start in the afternoon or in the evening. We have 24 hours, right? So I have to finish the build on Sunday in the same hour as I started the build on Saturday? For example: if I start the build on Saturday at 8 PM, I got to finish it on Sunday at 8 PM. Is that right? well ... fortunately, I've bought a hair dryer this week Edited September 9, 2010 by Micha
ollieholmes Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 You are correct there. 24 hours at any time over the weekend.
Micha Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) You are correct there. 24 hours at any time over the weekend. sounds cool. I try to show each step in GMT time ... except it's something around noon or midnight because I don't know to use AM and PM when it's after 12 (noon and midnight). I'd like to use the 24 hours time instead of AM/PM. Would that be ok? In GMT of course! I only have to subtract one hour from CET. I would write 14:30 GMT instead of 2:30 PM GMT. Edited September 9, 2010 by Micha
ollieholmes Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) 24 Hour clock is fine by me. I would not worry about time zone differences, we are pretty relaxed on the rules. Edited September 10, 2010 by ollieholmes
Micha Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 I'd like to make photos in the 24 series style
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Good luck Micha, only we're at BST at the moment which is 1 hour ahead of GMT 24 hour clock is fine I tend to use it all the time, old habits die hard.
Micha Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) is it possible to move some 8 hours sleeping time between those 24 hours? I can't work around the clock EDIT: it's ok. I'll take 2 x 12 hours. From Saturday 12:00 (noon) to Sunday night 0:00 (midnight) ... first 12 hours. Then I go to sleep. And then from Saturday 12:00 (noon) again till 23:59 ... 2nd 12 hours. That's 24 hours excluding some extra hours to sleep. Edited September 10, 2010 by Micha
