I was out of town for a few days (Death Valley NP) and knew that you'd have progressed considerably when I returned and viewed what was going on at Finescale. I didn't think you'd have finished it though - good work as usual - and with the speed of Hermes!

How was your visit to Death Valley?  I hope a well one.  Thank you for the compliments as well as the support you've given me!

Looking really nice Toshi, and good choice of markings as well. I always enjoy seing Norfolk based aircraft.

 

 

 

Thank you sir, I figured you'd enjoy this Norfolk based Liberator build.

Nicely done, Toshi! I bet that looks good hanging next to your tank lol.

Your hand painting of those canopy frames is improving as well I see. Well done, my friend.  :)

You're not quite the ameture anymore. You are going places.  ;)

 

LOL!  Yes, it looks like it belongs hanging from the ceiling next to the tank!  LOL.  In all seriousness, the Liberator was placed on the ceiling today to hang with the rest of my collection.  

There are several Vietnam and Iraqi war veterans at the local VFW.  I'm donating both my tanks (Bulldog and the M1-A1 Abrams) for display at the VFW In honor of them and those that gave up their lives for us.  

Thank you very much for your support, read, and replies, it means so much to me.

Great job Toshi!!!  I like that you painted the underside grey. Your model is a nice conrast to my NMF version.  The weathering is really nice. Job well done and keep up the good work.

JohnnyK

 

Thank you JohnnyK.  I am inspired by your NMF build, that's fantastic work sir.  Also, thank you for visiting my build!

Hi, Toshi

Well, what's to be said, beyond what a remarkable job you made of the B-24. Everywhere I look I see attention to details and good craftsmanship.

You have made great advancements with skills and abilities. A modeler to improve this fast I have never seen, and you should be in the Guiness Record Book for speed building.

Thanks for all of the posts and photos, congratulations for your FSM anniversary.

Patrick 

 

Thank you sir for the kind words!  I will continue to post my builds and read all replies, this is the only way I can learn from such great FSM forum members such as yourself!  Thank you for the visit!

It's been a year already? Time flies when we're having fun. Indeed modeling is the ultimate stress release (unless your building the SH Blackburn Roc....lol). Thanks for sharing your work with us. .

I just got to see the photos tonight, Toshi, and that's a great finish!  I like your weathering and the fading.  Well done!

Toshi, I just cannot keep up with your builds. I have to wonder if you ever stop building in order to eat and sleep! You are on a very fast learning curve and you turned out another good one with your B-24. Here is a thought for you. Earlier in the thread there are some photos of a B-24 in the field. Compare them to your finished model and your model looks like it is setting on a show-room floor. It probably did not look that good when it came off of the production line. It is fine if a show-room finish is what you want; but if you wish to add a little realism to your models you may want to get a little weathering under your belt.

Thank you for the tip sir.  I will definitely look into that.
