I'm also starting to really think about the painting process and will use a lot of techniques from this guy's build

Alright gents. I'm updating you from the maternity ward bathroom as I dump for the first time since Friday. Our daughter Aurelia Marie Sagan was born 8:19p on June 6 weighing in @ 6lbs 6oz! Needless to say I'm so in love I could care less about modeling right now. <3 <3

However if there is some sort of extension, I may just be able to squeeze this one in under the finish line.

A BIG congratulations to you and your wife. I'm sure you're in pure paradise right now, and I'm glad to hear everyone is OK.

Maybe we can make an award for "best almost completed build interrupted by a newborn"

Enjoy the dump! The bathroom will be your only place of solitude for a few years! LOL

Thanks guys! I'm pooping again! She's been great so far. I burped and swaddled and hummed and she melts in my arms. Such awesome.

Congrats, Nick.
Take care of what's important. Let the modeling come back in its time

Pretty sure this won’t get done in time for the contest deadline…but I’m still going to plug along when I can.

Finished the Alamos.
Assembled the flaps, still need to trim the rods.
Started the pylon work.

A lot of work going on there.
Missiles are looking good and dangerous

Looks really cool. Nice finish on those.

Re: AIR 1/48 Su-27UB Blue 52 Polar Flanker

Thanks Scott. Really not going to rush this one...so it'll be a post-contest completion. Fine by me

 

[nicholassagan]

Re: AIR 1/48 Su-27UB Blue 52 Polar Flanker

Ah-yup. Even with the deadline there's just too much work to be done for this to get finished by the 10th/12th, whatever the day is. I do thank all y'all for following along!

Re: AIR 1/48 Su-27UB Blue 52 Polar Flanker

I'll continue watching this unfold, whenever that may be

Re: AIR 1/48 Su-27UB Blue 52 Polar Flanker

You gotta know when not to rush dude, like Q said I'll be watching.

Re: AIR 1/48 Su-27UB Blue 52 Polar Flanker

Huh. I just realized I never even got the custom decals. That would have killed it anyway
