1/32 Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird
Well I am back thanks to one of our young members being a brat and bugging me all the time about my SR-71 build. Just kidding, he didn't bug me that much but he is a brat. Not really, he is a good kid.
Any who, he did bug me enough that it got me back to my work bench cutting up this model. I have had it printed since the day I bought it months ago. I am going to try and snap pictures as I go to post on here, no promises though, I get in a zone and forget about taking pictures till I have finished. I want to forewarn you, my build is probably not going to be as amazing as Billy's but I am going to try. My build is going to be hung in the flying position so I will not be doing the landing gear. I was also debating on doing the cockpit detail, it will be hung and no one will see inside. I went ahead and decided to do the cockpit though, some day I might display it on the stand when I get more space. So here goes, this is all I did today between work and my spoiled dog wanting attention and then NASCAR. |

Got a little bit more done today, I will finish the seats tonight. I know I am not going in order of the instructions but that is because I have been to lazy to go 3/4 of a mile down the road to the store and get clearcoat for the skins. I finally went this evening so tomorrow I will start skinning this beast.

Got a little bit more done last night. Like I said before, I am going to build this as in-flight and hanging but will have the cockpits so they can be raised so if someday I decide to take it down and display it on the stand. My Mom said I should display it on my grand piano, that would be nice but the top of the grand piano belongs to my cat and I don't think she would like to share it.
Some time today I will start on the engines and start skinning this massive bird. |

You have a Grand Piano, I am so jealous! My son's (and mine) Violin teacher has a beautiful Steinway. Her husband restores them. Nothing like a Grand Piano for sound.
Your cat has good taste, and she'd probably tear into any model you put there, wouldn't you? |
