Stunning work, especially for an old and inaccurate kit! I love it!
-
Thank you Carlos! it is indeed a sight to see. I so rarely see it too; so this was a major thrill having all of them set out to show!
-
Thank you Carlos! Yeah, I'm so thrilled to have all my models!
-
Wow Gil! This is why I stay out of 1/48 scale aircraft! And resin too! I shudder to think how many times I would have stabbed myself trying to build this plane. You are a true Master! I bow in the presence of Greatness!

What they said! I have no other words!

As you know, I completed my 900th model back in February. After some time, I was able to arrange to have all 900 of them placed on display at our local Knights of Columbus/St. Crispin's Irregulars hall. These were set up on 8x3 foot tables and numerous pictures were taken; and I kept them up for three days so people could come and see them all. I also edited these pics to be a bit bigger than usual so a little mode detail can be seen. Without further ado, here are the pictures of the: The first thing I did was to set up all the German railroad equipment I have. I apologize for the poor quality of this pic, it's the best of all of them: The the German Army was all set up in front of that. I was experimenting to see if I could get better pics, sometimes it worked out: Next came the Russians as they were the next largest army in the collection: In front of them came my US Army and US Marines. The Marines are on the far right: I then placed my European and Commonwealth armies on the next table: Finally, I added my Japanese and Middle Eastern armies to the last table: And now, the entire collection for you to inspect. I apologize for the poor quality of these pics; I did everything I could to get sharper pics using notes everyone gave me the last time I posted my collection: During this time I also took advantage of the opportunity to update individual armies. You've seen the biggest ones: German, Russian and American armies since they all have their own tables, so here's some specific shots of all my smaller armies for your closer inspection. We'll start with my British Army: Here is my Australian Army: my Canadian Army, everything in front of the flag: my French Army: My Italian Army: My Swedish Army: and my Polish forces: Next is my Japanese Army: Then my Iraqi Army: My Syrian forces. The tank off to the left is a T-90 from India, I just haven't made a flag for it yet: And my Egyptian Army: Finally, here's my Israeli Army: Just for fun after that I decided to take pics of some of my select groups of models. For instance, these two Sherman tanks with two different rocket launchers on top of their turrets: Then there's these M109 Paladins: Here's all my Stryker vehicles all completed: This is every ambulance and fire truck I have: And all my civilian vehicles from all countries: And there it is, my entire collection of 900 small scale vehicles all on one set of tables. Now it's time to get started on the next 100 so I can reach my next milestone. Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome and I appreciate all your support and compliments.

Brilliant work Ron! That is sensational and I think you did very well on the figures. Way to go!
-
I'm with Gil; this looks sensational already. Well done on the panels.
-
Thank you Jean-Marc! Yes, I also love that little bus!

Maddog Manufacturing Open for 2024

Yes, and you always will my friend! I am still plugging along as best I can and will hopefully have more to post soon. Thanks for looking in again! -
What a magnificent show! Fantastic! I would have loved to have seen a close up of the winning diorama of the Panzer IV in 1/72 scale. Such talent there truly places you in the top ten best shows in the USA.
-
Both of those 'fixes' by the other two modelers do not look right. I would follow Gil's advice and do what you need to do to bend the pad back into position and glue it flush against the steel seat backing.

That's right, these are my first finished models for 2024, and also the accomplishment of another milestone. First up is Number 896, this is the Dragon 1/72 scale US Marine M103A2 Heavy Tank: Nothing special done to it, just some light weathering. The next one is Number 897; which is a three-year-old shelf queen that I started when trying to complete the entire available SCUD line of models. This is the 1/72 scale Modelcollect Russian SCUD 😄 Next is a more recent model; the Trumpeter 1/72 scale US Army M1132 Stryker Engineer Squad Vehicle coming in at Number 898: Number 899 is the 1/72 scale Foreart US Army M109A7 Paladin, which also completes the entire line of available Paladins in my scale: And finally, Number 900 in my Braille Scale Armor and Vehicle Collection is this 1/72 scale Roden British Type B Omnibus Mobile Pigeon Loft: Once again, this did come with pigeons which you can see here if you look close: And that is my list of my first models completed in 2024. Now that this milestone has been achieved I will start focusing on my aircraft, ships and other miscellaneous models that I'd been setting aside to reach this milestone. Besides, the boys in the Motor Pool need a bit of a break for awhile! Stay tuned for another tour soon and also be watching here in the third week of March; that is when I'm arranging to have my entire collection set out on tables to be photographed. Thank you all for looking in, comments are always welcome!
