Some of my model work - kinda off topic.

I got raged on a little bit about this 109 I built being too clean.I mentioned to them that I have pictures of the actual plane and it looked pretty well cared for. I also argue that at "some" point in an aircrafts life it is brand new heheheh <shrugs>
I was never big on very heavy black panel lines. Ill run some dirty color through them a bit because I figure thats where dirt will build up some. I may do darker lines if its actual hatch or acess panel of some kind.

hehehe I wasnt picking you out Madda  Some old friends were on me about it as well when I saw them in game <G> Thanks for the compliment I appreciate it. That was the last thing I built. I have a small hobby shop worth of kits in my basement. I really need to pick something out and get busy again. Sometimes these threads are just the ticket to some new motivation

LOL, whattya consider a small hobby shop? I'm sittin' on roughly 1200 kits. I started with more than 2300, but realized I was never going to live long enough to build even half of them (and I do this for a living!).

That seems to be the deal with this hobby. Everyone I know who builds models is sitting on a mountain of kits <G>

It takes a lot less time to buy one that looks good to you than it does to build one that looks good to you. 

I have exactly zero kits now.  Soon though, soon...

Luckily I do have a really really fantastic brick and mortar model shop not too far from me.

that's the old 'the journey of a thousand miles' and all.. baby steps and next thing you know you'll turn around and say 'I own (insert dollar amount here) in equipment for this'

You don't even want to KNOW how much I've got invested in AH.. and more to come.  I'll still stink but it will look good

Well like my friend says "theres worse things you could be spending your money on" If your having fun with your hobby and it makes ya happy so be it.

I have posted these before but figured I would throw them in here for anyone who may be interested in this stuff.







Heres a couple Corsairs SF3 had built.

A good friend of mine drinks a fair amount of Beer.  His wife suggested he take up a hobby because she thought he had to much time...thus the Beer drinking.

He thought awhile and said  yup....I need a hobby.  So he purchased a home brewing kit to brew his own Beer.

remember....ya might not like getting what you asked for!
