    That's some very nice work and you are very talented. I did different kinds of models for a while myself(cars, boats, planes) but I ended up painting tabletop miniatures in the end. I love doing it but lately I haven't had the time. Perhaps I should make myself some time to finish up the last few I started.

    Thanks for some motivation :)

    Awesome vinny, I used to love building models, and yes, those decals are a PITA. You're level of detail is great. I'm waiting on my son to grab a touch of patience to dive back in. Seeing those though, maybe i'll go grab a cheap kit and test the waters with him.

    Great job bro, thx for reminding me of another hobby i love that takes $$$!lol;)

    You are welcome. Glad I could help.Thanks for the kind words.;)

    If you really want to keep him interested try to stick with good kits. Tamiya (second to none),Hasegawa,Dragon (kits can be hit or miss but there newer kits are excellent),Accurate Miniatures(can be hit or miss),Fine Moulds for sci fi stuff. Glad I could help spend your money.LOL Thanks for the kind words.

    Here's my grandpas handmade ship you asked about. I always loved helping him in the wood shop, but sadly because of his condition now he can't be around sawdust. :(

    Nice! I used to paint pewter figures and models for wargames. I love the relaxation!
