  1. What a beautiful build and finish! Just outstanding - would have loved to see a WIP on this build.
  2. Beautiful, just beautiful! Wonderful finish. Cheers, Rockie
  3. Beautiful! What a terrific collection of markings!
  4. Lovely work, Brad! Congratulations on a very productive modeling year!
  5. Love sailing ships! The Revell Cutty Sark kit is hiding under my bed (yeah, I'm a 62 yr old kid). I built many of the Revell and Heller ship kits as a youngster. I really enjoyed the Revell Golden Hinde and and HMS Beagle, and the Heller Viking ship and Columbus's three ships. In wood, I've done a couple of model shipways solid hull kits. I also have a closet-full of ship plans and modeling books by Harold Underhill and other draftsmen. (Hope I live long enough to tackle a scratch-build some day!) I have an original release of the Revell Beagle in my stash - just for sentimentality. I built the kit when I was about 13, It was the first time I fully rigged a model ship. I was pretty proud of the result, and wanted to show it off to one of my mother's friends (to me she was Aunt Edna). After, I left the model on the arm of our couch. As Aunt Edna got up to leave she put her sweater on, swinging it over her shoulders, and it snagged the model sending it sailing into the kitchen where it smashed against the refrigerator! I think she was more horrified than I was! Cheers, Rockie
  6. AMEN. Fingers crossed for a better 2021!
  7. Really glad you are feeling better! That pilot looks brilliant, and nice to see the Ju 88 camera fairings. Will be placing an order shortly.
  8. Don't know what happened with the multiple posts, but I like your work very much! Thanks and best wishes for a wonderful new year!
  9. Nice update Kev, and great work by Marc and Nick! Cheers, Rockie
  10. Great job again this year Kevin, and congratulations to all the winners! Cheers, happy holidays, and best wishes for the new year to all, Rockie
  11. Lovely work on the Blackhawk, and glad you are on the mend. That x-ray makes me cringe! Cheers, Rockie
  12. Great progress, Peter! Love the wonky number too. I'll have to look for the Washi tape. It's amazing all the great modeling tools and supplies you can find in craft stores and beauty supply stores at a fraction of the cost you would pay for the hobby-branded stuff. Cheers, Rockie
  13. Well, My dad was a bombardier on B-17's (96th BG, shot down 31July1943 - POW), so the Meng B-17 is probably the one, although with the late war group markings...
  14. This build is too cool. So many of us seem to be enjoying it, I wonder if this could inspire a future group build? Maybe "Pimped-Up (Egg) Planes"? Seriously, I'd be in. Cheers, Rockie
  15. Any update on D400 availability? I want one too! Cheers, Rockie
  16. Beautiful work, and great use of the Silhouette for the instrument panel refinishing!
  17. My own mix on Pandora. Really like folk and acoustic rock, especially "unplugged" versions of mainstream albums. Probably a result of growing up listening to the likes of Roger McGuinn, Gordon Lightfoot, PP&M, CSNY, Jim Croce etal; and bleeding all over my Takamine FS-360 in a pitiful attempt to emulate that sound...
