Falcon161 3 Posted February 20, 2008 Where I live, North Carolina, it is required for all seniors to do a big a** stupid exit project in order to get their diploma. Instead of doing mine on something boring I decided to do mine on Sukhoi Military Aircraft. With that I have to write a 10-15 page essay on the subject, Create a product on the subject, give a 15 minute speech two 2 or 3 judeges on my subject, and create a multimedia presentation on my subject. I need some suggestions on where I can find books, newspaper articles, magazine articles, and even a couple good websites. Please guys I really need the help badly!!!!

Guest 531_Ghost Posted March 20, 2008 Congrats Falcon161. Have you picked an MOS or are you going Open Contract (0311 typically)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon161 3 Posted April 16, 2008 Well Guys the Final essay is due this week and I am currently working on it at school. But now I need to start the product which I am going to build a 1/72 scale Su-27 Model kit painted in a tiger meet scheme. This is a big leap for someone who is used to level one snap together Kits, so any tips on painting and modeling would be very very helpful. Oh BTW my ship out date to Boot Camp is August 25th. And to answer 531_Ghosts question I went open contract but I will be able to pick my job when im about to ship to basic, which im hoping to get either MP or Marine Security Forces. But if I dont get them I will do infantry for a while and switch to MP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Falcon161, congrats! - For modeling, here are a couple I suggestion: Before painting by can or airbrush, wash your model with dish detergent to remove oils from the mold release agent/fingers, etc. Test fit before gluing Warped part? - Run under hot water for a little bit, and rebend to original shape Use a glue that welds like tenax7 for a better bond Gun Residue from firing? - If you have access to a black pastel chalk, ground a little & dust onto the model with a paint brush from cannon port to the back of the plane (not too long)-remember wind effects Want your panel lines to stand out after painting? -Use a pen with india ink from any art supply store or a simple .5mm mechanical lead pencil, but make sure the lead is soft (dark) With a "gear down" look and tires bulging from weight - Heat an old screwdriver tip or butterknife and press your wheels down slightly Don't use super glue for cockpit windows- Scratches in windows can be rubbed out with toothpaste (not the gel kind) Atoll nose? - Cut a 1/8th" tip off a bic pen and graft onto the missile head Oxygen hose for your pilot? - carefully break an old burnt out bulb, carefully retrieve/clean the filament, dip in black paint, and voila - oxygen hose (may not be scale), but it looks good.

Falcon161 3 Posted April 18, 2008 Thanks super 61! What would be the best way to make a tiger meet paint job? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon161 3 Posted May 5, 2008 Allright! I just finished my product and lets just say I think it looks good! But I idnt have the time to do a Tiger meet scheme so I decided to do a fictional scheme that I thought would just look cool. But I also colored it not with paint but with the oddest thing to color a model, permanent markers! And surprisingly they work well even with a couple minor problems mainly bleeding of the colors. But if you all would like to see pictures I will gladly post them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
