Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Here's an aircraft diorama I worked on for about three months (250+ hours). The overall size makes it difficult to photograph, so apart from a few overviews at middle distance I've included several shots of local areas in the scene. [...]
I apologise the quality of the photos; the planes are in a museum and I can't re-photograph them easily. One of my shortcomings as a modeler is my rush to build a model and the failure to take photos as I progress. And when complete, a [...]

Hello everybody!
This is the F-5F, in my opinion, one of the most graceful aircrafts. This particular model was finished some time ago and went on without problems. It is outside of the box except for the scratch made harnesses and [...]
A few more older builds I was e-mailing this morning that I thought I'd share. The Pfalz and Albatros are Eduard kits. They were painted with Humbrol enamels, except for the mauve on the Albatros' wings. I used ModelMaster Napoleanic [...]
