Love the scout.

I enjoy the subjects as much as the builds 

 
Thanks. I've wanted to own a Scout for as long as I can remember. I live in an old IH town, and you still see Scouts here. If I ever hit the lottery...

This particular one caused me quite a bit of headaches, as the color I wanted was from Humbrol, but I discovered the hard way it didn't play well with my thinner. I am happy with the final result though. Since that picture was taken, the antenna managed to get broken and has been replaced with a piece of guitar string, something I will do as a matter of course in the future. Just a better scale look in my opinion.

The picture is better on that one, because I was using my old Canon digital camera, which unfortunately seems to have died very recently. It served me well, making multiple long distance trips and surviving through deployment to Kuwait, among other fun things. The other two were taken with my phone's camera. I may be able to get some better pics from it with better lighting, but I do want to upgrade to a DSLR.
 
As to subject matter, I agree with you, and I look for things that catch my eye. That explains why my stash has so much variety!

Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I'm self-conscious about posting, given the level of talent here. I need to work on my photo skills, but let me see if I can make this work:

International Scout II


Pontiac Firebird


P-39 Ariacobra

Here are my last three builds:

1/24 Pegasus Spinosaurus

1/48 Bronco MQ-1 Predator

1/48 Fine Molds TIE Fighter

 

Yeah, I like planes too, but, as you can see, I'll build anything!

 

Also, I have to say, many impressive builds have been displayed in this thread.

Bravo, Gentlemen!

Keavdog  and everyone else .

 you are correct .The " Batmobile " was once one of the most loved in the "FORD" " Cars Of Tomorrow Exhibit "  ! It was also in a Movie with Glen Ford . A long time ago . It fell on hard times , was sold to Barris , sat in front of his shop for a few years then became the Base for that totally distasteful remake to the Batmobile .

 I always thought , like the FORD LEVA Car , that it belonged in MOMA for what it foretold in auto design . All I can say is after I got mine at Kresge's ( I bought two )For 98 cents  each . I got three more as gifts from relatives .It really must've hit a chord with the grown-ups cause my LHS couldn't keep them in and all the buyers were adults ! That along with the Pontiac Club De Mer were some of his top movers . Along with  the FORD Country Squire in 1/25 scale  . All these by REVELL .

 Now the originals command ridiculous prices on the collecters market ! If you can find them .

    Now , I have to say . After all these gorgeous models ( The 57 and Tweety ) and all else . I am overwhelmed and Ashamed . I lost all postable stuff and am starting over , be patient please ?

 Crownr7 - Whose Pfiel kit is that ?

This is fun! I see the gang is diverse. I had to throw in a 1/1 that took about a year between the Tweet and the Shuttle that really was just a big model.

Some great work shown and cool subjects.

Thanks to this site, I have been joining group builds which I have actually completed more models in six months than what normally would take me two years.  

Roden 1/32 SE5 kit, this kit tried my patience, but I learned a lot.

Three of my builds. Not necessarily the last three though. I'm not real prolific. A build can take me a while.

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

Wolf - love the big ass bird!
TempestJohnny - I built the Rufe ages ago.  In my opinion one of the best looking float planes.

Thanks,
