"TRICERATOPS"
I don't recall if all 3 models came in the same box, nor do I remember who made these 3 kits, plus the little fish. 1998 is a long time for me to remember@ 88.6 yrs old!
The base was made by using some more "Plaster-of-Paris." [...]
1/72 Tamiya Spitfire Mk Ia
Tamiya 1/72 Spitfire Mk Ia. I have had this kit in the stash for quite a while. It was time to build it especially since I did not have a Mk Ia in the collection. This plane was flown by Sqn Ldr Rupert "Lucky" Leigh of No. 66 Sqn [...]
1/35th. STEGOSAURUS “DINO.”
This kit was made by Tamiya and was a good kit to build o.o.b; but the builder sure messed up building it.
The kit is made out of "VINLY" and not the tradition plastic that we modeler's are use to working with.
The builder which [...]

TRICERATOPS-EURYCEPHALUS ?
Tamiya produced this 1/35th scale dinosaur kit around 2011-2012 so I bought it.
If you look close at the box top you will note that the model has some nice feet with toes, however upon opening up the kit, you may be [...]
“T-REX”
I think Tamiya made this "Vinyl" kit. It went together just fine in the o.o.b. mode. I found it somewhat difficult to sand the vinyl where the body and legs joined together, so I did the best I could.
None of the expert's knew [...]
My Other Ocean Water Model.
This is my first water base diorama model which is a 1/144th scale "Martin PBM-5 Mariner" made by Revell about 15 years ago. I should have posted this model first, then post the "Kingfisher."
The model was built o.o.b. [...]
A “water-base” diorama
The "box-art" shows Revell's 1/48 scale "OS2U Kingfisher" scout type seaplane setting in the ocean. Since I had built a diorama water-base before I though that I would do it again.
I used some wood and 3/8" [...]
