    Wow, that is completely nuts. I honestly never knew that they made model kits that are this detailed. Really impressive man. Clearly this takes alot of dedication, patience and a steady hand!

    I think I'd have more luck building a ship in Minecraft :)

    With the improvement in computers models are becoming true replicas even though it seems to be a dieing art. Back in the day guys used to scratch build these ships and stuff (SOME STILL DO).Now the new photoetch has actually made it easier and plenty accurate . The newer kits such as this one are great and fit is not an issue.Patience is though.LOL

    I loved models as a kid and got back into it during my years at the university. Unfortunatly I havent had the time to build them in many years now and dont have a work space to do all that painted and gluing but would love to start up again someday.

    Awesome job Vinny

    I concur. Vinny, your work is top notch!

    I'd love to do this again.
    I built tons of model plans and cars as a kid. I used fishing line and hung the planes from the ceiling.
