Beautiful base... Nice decals on the shells!

It looks great.  Good job on all of it.  I especially like the markings on the shells. 

WOW...now I know why I build aircraft mostly...you Dark Side folks have way too much talent for me to even attempt to be as good as ya'll

Nice job!  Nothing more I can say.

 Looks great! Wish i could do figures that well If you want a short story on how NOT to fire US 81mm VT fuses, let me know.

Sweet work on this one Kevin, have to echo the others on the shell markings, very nice!

Anything special planned for #50?

Kevin - Totally stunning. Besides the outstanding ammunition, the base and the figure are beyond reproach. I am speechless.

Congrats on the website milestone. As an example I tried to emulate in creating my site, I am thrilled to hear the master is going to hit a million. A toast to Mortars in Miniature.

Rounds Complete!!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the comments as I struggle with the hobby. Good kit and this one felt pretty good. I was happy with the new camera setup too and that helped a lot with the final product. Do tell all of your wimmin friends. :-)

Nothing special planned for #50. Couple in progess but whatever 'turns me on' will be next. RL is in the way.

Mike, you're a good friend. Thanks buddy! I don't know about the 'master' bit but, I hope that your website is and will continue to be as fun as mine has been over the years. You were instrumental in getting me to improve on my photography. Someday we'll meet.

Thanks again guys!

Looks great as usual Kevin. How are things up in Mass?

Have you thought about doing an insurgent or Taliban mortar team? Wonder how that would look with their mix and match gear and such.

Thanks for checkin' in Rob. Doing ok up here, just trying to scratch out a living with multiple jobs and not much time for anything else. Hope that all is well with you in your retirement.

I would do an insurgent team if I could find Soviet/Russian/Chinese 60-81mm mortars but until some are available in scale, this is about as far as I can go. :-) (Under the Fantasy Mounts section.)

Kevin:

Great job there, I have to agree on loving the detail and the labels on the shells. And the figure is a nice touch too, love seeing a figure to indicate just how big/small the vehicle/weapon is.

I appreciate the comments Cliff... thanks. I try to add a figure where and when I can for the total perspective, strongly believing that it helps with the entire presentation. I had this Hornet Staff Sergeant in white metal and figured that he'd fit the bill perfectly. The manual that he is holding is actually a scaled down Drill Manual (front and back covers glued to paper 'pages') for this weapon, dated 1943 that I also have in my collection.

Thanks again!
