September 29, 201115 yr comment_1040 The detail on the Daimler-Benz and MG-17s is really impressive! Report
September 29, 201115 yr comment_1041 I wish I paid more attention when my grandfather was trying to teach me to build models. I never got the weathering down and to me that's the most impressive part of modeling (probably because I don't understand it). That detailing is superb, perhaps when I finally get some of my other garage projects out of the way I can spend time on modeling once again. Report
September 29, 201115 yr Author comment_1044 Britchot, weather is probably the easiest part of modelling. Think extreme dilution and painters oils. Report
September 29, 201115 yr Author comment_1045 The detail on the Daimler-Benz and MG-17s is really impressive! I know right? I am so wanting these kits. Their FW-190 A-6 kit, by itself is extremely detailed with a whole engine included in the base kit. Report

Now just to finish one of my many projects... shadowboxing my tool boxes will probably be doable. Report
September 30, 201115 yr comment_1049 I started to get back into the hobby with winter coming on, I purchased Airfix's BF 109 and Spitfire in 1/24th scale. Have a diorama scheme in my head dipicting a morning during the Battle of Britian. Here's a couple of pictures of the beginning of a longggg process of detailing the 109's engine. http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/jimrired/001.jpg http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/jimrired/002.jpg The wiring is kind of nuts, I found the original shop manual on the BF but it's written in German and my schoolboy German is just a foggy rememberance of gutteral sounds. In 20 years I was surprised to see how much the supplies for this hobby has soared. Report
