back in HS out of the hospital i had lots of free time. i started doing ship models... badly LOL
never had an airbrush, only hand brushes. but i was able to paint those little port hole things on deck with this TINY brush my mother had bought me.
anyway, after doing about 10 WWII ship models i thought if i ever had the money, and space i'd like to do a whole pearl harbor layout. 20 feet across or whatever, with all the ships that were there, and the planes attacking.
