Congratulations on your builds.  You did a fantastic job on your kits,

Toshi

Looking good! You've been busy although I had to get out my bifocals and microscope to see the first couple. 

Toshi: Thank you! You don't want to look at them too closely! They are nice 4-footers.

Greatmaker, oh man, you have no idea. It does save on paint, though.

Geezer, wow! That many built and it's the begining of May! Outstaning job! Both Skyrockets are very interesting!

Thanks, Bruce. They were pretty decent kits, by my standards (low as they are!). I think these are the two on which the canopies both cracked and I could not get spares. They are just cracked.

That's a lot.

Say, those 1/144ths look pretty darned good.

Thank you, Greg. They are as tiny as the 29 is big! Still have one more to do.

Nice little Air Force you got there.

Thank you, Templar1099.

My AMT/Ertl 1/48 F-7 Tigercat.

A couple of you may notice thay the canopies are a bit fogged. In my full doofus mode, I over sprayed them after installing. I'd do a face/palm plant, but I'd likely have CA on my hand.

It is a tail sitter in spite of:

Another "funny" moment. The exhaust stack were pretty decently molded into the cowling/nacelle pieces. I thought, "well, why don't I drill those out a bit more to add some stunning realism?" Self replied, "Have at it, Scooter, have at it!" I did and you can't see squat. I love my modeling.

My eyes go into a panic and retract into their sockets when they see tiny scale models, they can only cope with 1/48 and 1/32, preferably the latter!

But, for such a tiny scale, you have a lovely collection that you've put together there. 

Cheers,

Martin

I have one good eye, Martin. I've seen it cross doing these 1/144 babies. My son got me those. Seems he lacked a basic understanding of scale or was trying to kill me. Not sure.

I'm really good at dull coating the model after installing the canopies and forgetting to mask them.  I call it "Early Morning Before the Mission" status, where the frost is still on the canopy.  IPMS needs to add that as a catagory in their contest guide.

Lol 4 footers love that term....I have a few of those and 1 or two 12 footers!

Nice work, I really like the Skyrockets and the Tigercat. 

Thank you, Gamera.

I just about spit my coffee out when I read this!  This would be the most awesome idea ever and we could actually tell ourselves that we're "adding realism" as opposed to having yet another face-palming "DO'H! moment.
