Here is my Frankenstien Dak staff officer. Hes pieced together from 3 dragon figure sets and a Tamiya field cap. Good Gawd! Does that make me look like a cheap ass or what.
Nope, It makes you look like a MODELER, not just a kit assembler..............

Hi fellas,
I actually got a bit done this evening. But the hightlight of the progress was installing the hook recomended by Jeff T. Problem solved!
Oh and i also got a little paint on the tools. touchups are needed then a coat of future gloss.
Thanks for looking gentlemen!

Looking good! I'm sure the tires will receive the 'driven look', huh?
I think on the hook it should have an small extension like this:
Then he can use it like this:
It's just a thought!

All the detail painting looks sweet dude!
I agree with Jeff. The hook need a little stub sticking out of the sleve to mount to.

Gary... , The hook rules! But now that you have done it I agree with Jeff S. It needs the boot that fits over the lower arm,a man needs to be able to get to his Zippo at all times
.
One more thing,I assume his rank is Captain ?
Sorry,I couldn't help myself with that one,it had to be said.Jeff T.

Hi Gentlemen,
Hey now fellas, The Captains hook is only temporary till he gets his permanant prostetic hand. He doesent smoke cigars Phil but he enjoys a pipe from time to time. The zippo wont be an issue as hes left handed Jeff. And Phill, who's Bob?
You guys are too much!!!

Nope, never smoked a day in my life. And haven't had a beer since last year at my Birthday. And that was just one beer too as I cannot have too many liquids.

Well me old son i have some news for ya about Fosters beer .,.we have a beer here called Steinlager and it won the gold medal for brewers so many times they asked us not to come back to give the other makers a chance
As for the wacky backy i dont go anywhere near that ..to many things going on in my head to not have control over it and besides ..what a waste of money ..better spent on models
Besides if ya want a huge high ..jump out of planes ..i do
