N scale rivets? I can't imagine laying those decals.You must be working extreme lighting and maximum magnification. 😄 Excellent work! 👍

Yes, "Pips" Priller. He was one of the few Luftwaffe aces to attack the Normandy beaches. He was immortalized in the "Longest Day"" movie. This was his mount from the Battle of Britain. I did get to meet Adolf Galland at a dining-in we had a Bitburg. Galland was our after dinner speaker. He was some muckety muck in the West German Luftwaffe in the 1970s.

The "Emil" looks good, Craig. One of the Abbeville Boys?

I built a model of Gentile's Shangri La back in my "yoot". I am in, Phil! 😄

Mike, what's the name of this Czech PE source? That fret is chock full of parts. Thanks.

Nicely done, Andy. 👍 Beautiful paint job. What's not to like about a shark-mouth! 😁

I'm in for this one. Had a housemate back in Germany, mid 70s, with one. His Porsche was a darker blue metal flake. Factory paint. We all had those rubber baby buggy bumpers on our European cars, if built to US spec back then.

They're a common sight, but a well-detailed model would be a show stopper. 😉

Look forward to whatever you post on those a/c, Craig. That tow truck looks so cool, but it's way too neat for the typical trucks around here. And that Porsche Carrera will be a jewel.

I though you had found a Musketeer. 😁 Sounds like quite the pirate. Jacques Lafitte's great grandfather?

Could even use a brown paper bag as a polishing agent. I've polished watch crystals (the clear part over the face) with toothpaste. I scuffed up several getting bounced around the cockpit. The jet had a timepiece, but it's accuracy and availability were suspect. I'm in, OC.

RGL did a German battlecruiser a while back, in 1/350 scale. Another of his masterful jobs.

Steam engines are the neatest engines devised by man. All the appliances and appurtenances are out side the boiler, so you see most of the moving parts. I had several classes about steam in college. Most of my classmates went to work in industry and spent more time working with steam. I dig steam locomotives; the sounds of that engine as he built steam is sooo familiar. Thank for including it, Keith. Merry Christmas to all and a prosperous New Year.

Your derrick legs look great. Keep the photos coming. 😁

Well done, Chris.

Well done McLaren, Rob. Yes the red was fooling my eyes in the initial pics as an orange. I vaguely remember watching a Marlboro car zip around the track in Zaandvoort, Holland in the 75-76 time frame. A handful of us aviators decided to go to a few F1 races and the Dutch Grand Prix was easy for us to go from our base in Germany. I think we went to the Nurburgring and decided it wasn't fun, because we saw so little of that race.

Good looking P-40K Kittyhawk model. I've been delving into this whole series of aircraft. I think the Ks were one of of the largest classes.

Nicely done. The Campbell kits had some of the best instructions and added some techniques to the builder's bag of construction tricks.
