Welcome to the forum, I agree with Urumomo, great looking build.

Is it possible to use a dark forum theme for my tired eyes? :)

What are you guys doing this weekend? I'm gonna get some work done on my 75% completed 1/20 Nissan Hardbody pickup and maybe go for a cold weather hike in the mountains with my doggo.

Thanks, it means a lot!

Well this project is complete finally. I love the design of this thing, which was why I bought it. However the engineering of it wasn't thought out all that well IMO. Some parts go together great, while others I have to question....Definitely not Tamiya or Bandai level goodness, but I'm happy...

Thank you! I'm not sure what Bandai currently has available for SW stuff. Now I know they have their "perfect grade" 1/72 Millennium Falcon too, so if you are feeling spendy, most of their fighters I think are also 1/72 scale.

Thanks Lance, you are too kind.

Thanks Urumomo, I'm hard pressed to think of a kit that was actually this much fun. Some kits can be real uphill battles, but Bandai stuff is excellent.

This one is a couple of years old, but I brought to work and never got around to taking any photos of it. It has some lighting, and is posed on a base flying low over ocean waves. It was a fantastic kit and a real pleasure to build.

Stunning, beauty!

I found a Fine Molds 1/144 Slave 1 on ebay for 1/2 the price of the Bandai variety, score!!!

She's looking fantastic!

I'm hoping to make some progress on my Fist of War SdKfz 553/A this weekend despite having to work tomorrow. Looks like this: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/modelcollect-ua35004-german-wwii-sdkfz-553--1177594 I give the design/shape of the vehicle 10/10. I'd give the engineering quality of...

I'm glad the pupper left the tank alone! Great job!

Nice!!!

Forgot my Tamiya 1/48 P-47D!!!

An easier question to answer would be, "what isn't in my stash?" the most current things I'm working on are: ModelCollect 1/72 walking tank, ModelCollect 1/35 walking tank Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha XV1600 1/20 Nissan Hardbody 1/35 Dragon Abrams 1/35 Trumpeter Abrams 1/35 Stryker Revell Voyager...

Thanks Lance. I actually used Dave Youngquist's technique. I painted all of the wood a light sand color, and then went over it them with Vallejo smoke, which is transparent. https://www.youtube.com/c/Lastcavalry/videos

Okay, this one is finished. Had to gingerly attach the remainder of his potato mashers and fix a couple of minor things.
