Models have been along periodically since childhood.
Over the years, I built close to 1000 models.
I want to share my excitement from this great hobby with the images presented here.
Trumpeter's Vigilante was never on my list due to reports on shape and fit issues related to the kit. Nonetheless, I received this model from a friend and promptly built it.
In spite of the bad reputation, it builds to an impressive [...]

At some point I got curious about how it is like to build one of the 1/16th scale AFV monsters. Trumpeter's T-34 that comes with interior detailing satisfied my curiosity. It is a solid and easy AFB build thanks to the large size of parts. [...]
