very impressive work throughout. 

almost embarrassed to present my work.  not of the same quality as the work seen earlier in this thread.

 

not in any order...

40th anniversary mustang oob




the dragon ferdinand (yet to be put on a base btw)




the ten foot 262...




the bashed p-40 from revell/monogram..





the b-17g from revell/monogram..the great paint adventure...




the revell/monogram p-51d..




my very first p-47 i believe it was a tamiya ..




an amt p=40k..




another first for me a hasegawa hurricane..




and yet another first.  a figure...




something modern...  tamiya bradley. 




and two that took a lot out of me.

the uss arizona





and my big one of the year.  a conversion of a revell/monogram b-17g to a b-17c from hawaii.






there they be.  not the most.  not the best.  some improvement in painting.  some things very much out of my league.  but there they are.

Ta, your highness. The 'T' something was a T35. I loved it cos it was quirky lookin. And i think its the only Target to have 5 turrets. Cool huh.

Easy there buddy, you want embarrassing go back a couple pages and look at my pile of poorly painted styrene. You have got some great stuff there, I especially dig on the revell P-51 and B-17. I am taking a vacation from revell as I dont think my skills are quite there. 

It is only the intellect that keeps me sane; perhaps this makes me overvalue intellect against feeling

Joe,

You should be very proud of that collection!  I know I would be.  Like they say, we are our own worst critics. 

Guy- Excellent work!  It's great to see those models and targets again! Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

Hey Joe, I only see a lot of good stuff there. Remember the biggest critic of our own work is ourselves. Show em and be proud. I particularly like the B-17 Conversion and the Figure. I take my hat of to you that can paint figures.

Top work my freind.

i am my worst critic.  i do appreciate the kind words though.  the forts were labors of love for me.  i almost take hawks for granted.  forts i try to get all the detail.  i try to make each one better than the previous.
