You, sir, are one of the “scratch-build” kings of the modeling community IMO.

A true craftsman, your wood works never ease to amaze me, can’t tell which one is the best, but all could fool me thinking it’s some plastic/resin kit

Thanks for the comment Pedro.Yes,when I put them on display people think they are kits until they pick them up and feel the weight and on some of them the wood grain shows.Thanks again.
