  1. Wow, great pics, including a number of models I hadn't seen before! Gil, thanks for posting the pic of my collection. I've been looking but I don't see any pics I took of my own collection from there. Still, here are some of mine. A great collection of dinosaurs: Something I want to try with my P.1000 Ratte in 1/72 scale: Nice collection of rockets; I believe they are all in 1/144 scale: I believe this was a Miscellaneous Category winner: Not my Dora, but well done indeed. I commend this modeler for the fortitude in finishing this massive 1/72 scale model: 1/72 scale with a scratch-built turret from PVC pipe: A beautifully rendered 1/72 scale engine from the acommpanying pic: A great what-if battleship and escort: And of course, the theme of the whole show: More rockets, all in 1/144 scale. I'm trying to do a display like this in 1/72 scale: Two beautiful masted ships: Brilliant display of Egg Planes, Ships and Tanks: That's what I have for now. I got more to post later if anyone wants to see more.

  2. This is from the old Airfix Refueling set. Between this model, with has the twin axel in the rear and the earlier Airfix Matador with the 5.5" gun, which has a single axel, you have all sorts of possibilities for conversions. This one, however, is pretty much OOTB. I did replace the rear doors out of sheet plastic as the kit ones would have looked out of armor plate. I also "busied up" the pumping equipment as that supplied with the kit is a little sparse. Only other additions are headlights, which the kit omits, and glazing for the windows.

  3. I'll play... My models on display. The Hasegawa Beaufighter illustrates part of my "Model Building 101" seminar, as does the Revell Voodoo. The other two were long-term projects that finally got off the bench and on to display bases--the Hasegawa F-111F was built as "KARMA-52", the aircraft lost during Operation EL DORADO CANYON, and the ER-2 is Special Hobby's kit. They're all in 1/72 scale: The helicopters--four Hasegawa UH-1H Iriquois, and an Italeri OH-6A Cayuse and CH-47 Chinook (backdated from CH-47D to a CH-47C "Super C") for the Fire Support Base RIPCORD project, then still in progress. If you want to see the completed project, we have a Facebook page dedicated to the project, and it is also going to be the centerpiece for the Vietnam display at the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum in Columbia, SC. The helicopters are a tiny part of the 1/72 scale diorama, and were built by various members of the clubs involved. I built one Huey and the 'Hook, and painted all of them. Decals, like most everything else on the project, were bespoke--Jodie Peeler did the artwork, and Michael Portaro of IndyCals printed them. (You IPMS/AMPS dual citizens are reading about it in the latest issues of the Boresight.) I can't knock anybody who puts together a display featuring the High Hatters. Insanity in brass.
