Like it...like it a lot.

As a very personal view I liked the single tail...a bit viggen/toom?

I WAS going to try and keep those Phantom lines, but it got away from me and angles just started popping out every where. I figure, I haven't done anything "out there" in a while, so why not?

Angles like the Hounds of Tindalos!  Great work, sir!

Eddie Eddie Eddie ... who's eyes are you trying to pull the wool over. As one who appreciates your efforts I have to say that everything you build is by definition "out there". You only know how to do things that way, which is fine by me.

I looked that up and it sounds very intriguing. Thanks for your compliment!

Let me start by saying that I've always admired you guys that have the green modelers mat on your bench. Me, I just used what I had, which was a piece of wood paneling turned over. Due to a monumental stupid move, I knocked over a full bottle of liquid glue (lemon scented, no less) My cutting board was wasted and several pieces to this model were submerged in the mess.

I was about to have a nervous breakdown trying to find substitutes around the house. No joy. I made a run to the mega low price store that everyone loves to hate. I searched by the crafts. No luck, I was about to give up when I decided to go into the sewing center. BINGO I found a nice mat that makes my little bench look a little less out of control, because if yer gonna be impotent , you might as well look impotent.

Welcome our newest part timer whiffer, Evan M. He built the model w/ the oldman's help, but picked the decal and their placement himself. Lots of imagination in this one.

Wow, has he ever grown.

Now, back to the submerged parts for this Phantom:  aiyeeeeeee!!!!  Tell me it's going to be rescued!

The landing gear and the drop tanks were floating ! I found a glossy model box top and put everything on that till it dried. Believe it or not the glue gave everything a smooth, gloss finish. Probably because it was melting .

Sounds like you got lucky on that one.  Glad to hear it wasn't ruined.  You were off to a good start.

Either I get the wrong end of the stick or the above is a contradiction in terms or I fail to see how a blue sheet of rubber defines your impotentcy and yer a brave man for declaring it
I think you need an "R" key for your keyboard if your gonna be important.

[BlackOps]

That mat sure is clean    Now you need one in every room in the house just in case

Congrats, young Evan!!!

Eddie, that's one beautiful mat, but it needs weathering

Good to hear your model is still in one piece

After much stalling and denial, it's done. I have to say that I'm not pleased with this effort, which leaves the door open to another rendition sometime down the road. Here's a couple of very nondescript photos and an attempt to hide it among the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Well, it's still impressive.  Now, one in 1:48 scale, please.
