I did not really see a place to put this and since I am in a lull hannants just gave me a tracking # today and I needed to get room made for the "MMR" in the big cabinet which needed some serious dusting.I have to dust it about once a tear which took me two hours so all the planes have to come out.I thought some of you guys might be interested in seeing some of my early work's like the 1/32 Fiesler Storch,Ki-43 Oscar a 1/72 Heinkel,Ki-61 these are all probably 30years old anyways .............

I am imagining your house filled with display cases.  First you see one filled with military aircraft (superbly done, by the way).  The next you see is all dolls.  Then another with aircraft.  Then more dolls.  And so on.  Not aircraft in one room and dolls in another.  All in one room.

Yes it is a little one sided here. I would be embarrassed to take pictures. In fact there is another doll out there somewhere in the mail as we speak.:o 

 

You have a fantastic collection that would be the envy of anyone. Nice work.

It's all airbrush I have been airbrushing since about 13 yrs old when Badger had Propel in a can as for paints I am an enamel guy whether Testors, Model Masters or Humbrol.I do have some acrylics but if one is not quick on the clean of the airbrush it will start to harden when I have forgotten enamels in the cup and came back the next day it cleaned with no problem.

 

Nice Day today four families cook out about 80', 2 innings of softball and five or six games of bingo then peach cobbler and homemade ice-cream life is good ;) Kevin

Bleedin' 'ell!  that collection is amazing.   The big Mitchell turned into a stunner!!

 

I have one of these as well, and it's a well and truly stalled build.   Mine is the cannon nosed H model, and I'm bound and determined to do a late Pacific war Marine Raider PBJ-1H troublemaker.

Every possible piece of PE known to man, a Profimodeler 75mm cannon, and AMS and Brassin resin everywhere. 

I burned out on the internal ribbing, because the South Pacific Marine birds had the waist windows removed, every single internal rib needs to be installed... aaaaaargh!  plus a full PE bomb bay to showcase the parafrage the Corps used, and I'm going to be there awhile.

 

Yours gives me what may be some needed inspiration to haul it out and restart it all.

On the bench:  Vanguard Models 1/64 HMS Speedy

 

On Deck:

Vanguard Models 1/64 Fifie,
