I've just started with paint brushing my models, I hope to make 'em as good as yours there!

No firecrackers for this puppy! Too much time and effort involved.

Can't think of all the models I've blown up and peppered with BB guns. A lot of fun then, but seems like a sacralige now.

Wish I still had some of them as they are unavialable now.

If you're serious about modeling, invest in a good airbrush. It will pay dividends later.

Thanks for the kudos guys, I enjoy building them, showing them makes the process complete.

One of the things I look for is subtle "weathering", modellers tend to over do it and it takes away from the overall effect. When it comes to weathering, less is more. Awesome job AKWeav, that is one of the best weathering jobs I have ever seen. ~~and thanks for doing it to my fave aircraft!!~~

Sorry bud, it's spoken for, but thank you very much for asking. I like to award them to my squaddies for special performance in scenarios, or the MA.

Watch this section of the bbs though, as I finish each new plane, I'll post a pic, and not all of them are for awards.

Ummmm, is your squad recruiting?????

Hey DiabloTX, I work just up the road from you, in Friendswood. How 'bout that.
