Look at this thing!!
« on: August 30, 2008, 02:51:23 PM »
Was googling around for aircraft images and came across this resin model of an LA5. WOW!!! Look at the craftsmanship and detail involved. Wonder how many hours went into building this thing.

Pretty basic stuff for an IPMS Grandmaster.

In my opinion, this guy is easily the champ.

     Check out this 1/72nd scale CVE, the USS Sangamon.  If you click on the picture he has tons of
WIP pictures.  The details are absolutely incredible!
