Hello, Here is a commission build for Jay Ward the head of Pixar animation. This is my interpretation of what the real Doc Hudson car would have looked like. This model has real metal trim and bumpers. I also created custom decals for this build. Rick

Here is my 1/48 Scale CH-46E "Lady Ace" another commission build for my friend that flew her in Afghanistan. Scratch built seats and wiring. Custom designed decals to match his exact copter.

Yeah, another completed aircraft build. I've said this before but I'll say it again so that everyone knows my abilities. I'm primarily a car builder. Been around cars/race cars my entire life so I know where everything goes. So, when it comes to building and detailing it pretty much comes natural. Aircraft, however, a whole different scenario. I have to do research for every build and hope that I get it right, or relatively close to right. The technical aspects of building aircraft are totally different than car/truck subjects. I am in total awe of so many aircraft builders and their abilities to get the finishes/weathering just right. So, with the disclaimer out of the way here is my latest build. F-18 VFA-146 Blue Diamonds using a Revell kit along with Twobobs decals. I'm trying to add the appropriate paint details and still trying to get the whole weathering techniques down. Still a ways off on that. All that aside I am happy with the results and think it looks good on the shelf.
