What breed is it, Denis? Face looks like my Corgi's face - see my avatar picture -
Hahahaha ! Knew you would take the bait, Lou ! Actually there are only 4 un-built aircraft kits in the stash, all 1:48 scale, and 2 of the 4 are huge. It's not the -C130 cargo, Lou, but rather the Lockheed AC-130A Hercules Gunship. But then I do have veto power . Patience my friend !

You guys are seriuosly tempting me to drag out the Testors 1:48 scale AC-130 Gunship kit from my stash. I got it decades ago shortly after I built the Testors 1:48 scale C-130 Cargo plane, measure 25 inches long with wingspan of about 37 inches, give or take. Was going to build both until I realized I had no place to display it. The Borg are calling

Glad you liked it, Lou.

Thanks Kevin

Thanks Craig and Denis

Thanks, Edward. Yea it was done over a span of years. I might add that all of the painting with the exception of the HumVee and USMC amphibian, were done with a Badger airbrush and Floquil's military color paints; the soft edge camo was done freehand without masking. The two exception were brush painted with Vallejo and Tamiya paints. Haven't done any airbrushing in decades, not sure how steady my hand would be now. Have to do some practicing and relearn the skill.

I second Denis' comment! Nice !

Ok, Lou, Edward, EGilman - part II of the Armor collection Modern US Abrams M1, Bradley M2 IFV (2 variants), HumVee, Sgt York Air Defense British Chiefton German WII and Modern German Mardar (I think) APC And that Gentleman concludes the collection - at least for now - probably order some more kits in future.

Me too

I found the Tamiya brand to have some really fine detail and they fit together without a lot of gaps or flash to remove. And they were not too expensive, at least here in the States. All the models I have shown are Tamiya.

Yea, one of our parks covers 2,000 acres with probably hundreds of miles of isolated trails but the citidiots decided to fill up the one or two common lawns with hoards of people and no physical distancing, ditto some of the trails. Luckily there are a few trails known only to locals that can be used.

We don't have any of those type restrictions up here. I can go out in my yard or even take a walk with admiral in neighborhood. Hell the streets in my neighborhood are deserted, only 1 or 2 people out walking.. Btw those last photos are from last year already loaded onto PC. I can still go out for groceries, doctors, post office, even parks, except the idiots descended on 2 state parks in throngs and now they are closed, spoiling it for the rest of us. I may be in NY STATE but not NY City Metro area. I'm over 100 miles from Manhattan island.

Oh cool ! Another one to add to collection!
-
Wait ! There is more ! Remember you requested this !

Yea, last November-December when we had our 1st snow, long before the plaque arrived.

This one was documented in a Build Log here a while back USMC LVTP7A1 in winter camo before I added the decals
-
Thanks. I will get the other armor photographed tomorrow if the weather is good and the sun is out. Best to take outside and photograph in shade of house under clear sky as I did above

A lot of them have already been posted in other forums but I will see what I can do. Yea, I am waiting for someone to bring me a cake with a hacksaw blade hidden inside so I can break out of prison !
-
Ok then, guess I have to unpack a whole bunch of plastic storage bins then and empty a few display shelves I'm assuming you mean the stash of completed models. Cuz the other stash of incomplete/unstarted models is not very impressive.
-
Egilman, thanks!

All of the WWII photos I have ever seen never showed the caricature peering over the wall, all I ever saw was the slogan. Besides I am not that good an artist - had all I go do just to keep hand steady enough to write the slogan without smearing it all over the wall. Thanks for the compliments, Lou. Reinforcements from rear aka stash. I probably should photograph the stash . . . Yikes !
