Mark Deliduka Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 My apologies people. All this time I've been saying that I've finished over 670 small scale armor models. Well, this past Friday, I and a fellow AMPS club member got together to get pictures for an article we're working on for the AMPS Boresight magazine. The article takes a second look at modeling small scale armor. Since I have so many models as well as kits, we did the photography at my place. After having taken the pics we needed, we proceeded (with the help of another friend) to bring my entire collection of finished small scale armor down to my carport and set it all up on a group of tables. There we proceeded to take several huge group pictures of my entire collection all together in one place for the first time ever. While all my tanks and vehicles were laid out, we counted them too. Therein lies the reason for my apology. The final count for all my small scale armor is only 545 models finished; including the latest four I posted recently, not the 670+ I'd been claiming before. Yes, I've been slacking and making myself sound more productive than I have been. I do hope you all can still accept me here despite my slacking off.... Oh, and one more thing: I can't post any of the pics yet until after the Boresight issue is published. Once that's happened, I'll flood these boards with links to some HUGE photos showing everything! Time to get back to the bench..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
802chrisg Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 SOOOOOOOO Your a 125+ short. Well in that case as punishment for your crime of fibbing. You must have 200 models built by the time the Article comes out. Good luck, you better get movin. SLACKER!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjundude1 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I think we can forgive you Duke. I don't even think that I can count that high. Chris Fontenot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Pruitt Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) Once you pass 500, I'm sure the "fudge factor" kicks in...I don't think I even know anyone else that's built THAT many models... :D :D :D Edited September 12, 2010 by Keith Pruitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hmmmm....let's see.......you have more small scale armor built (alone) than my entire stash (@250) and built (@130) combined! Never apologize Mister! It's a sign of modeling weakness! And you call yourself the "Duke"..... GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewahl Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hi, Mark, You have ... choke ... coff ... gasp ... only 545 small scale armor models built? I have zero (unless the old Revell Nike Hercules counts, and that's not in 1/72 scale). Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Keith, thanks. I'll try not to fudge anything more though. Gil,. thanks. Okay, no more apologies. And, yes, I am the Duke. If I had over 1000 small scale armor models, I think I'd be the King! Ed, you probably pass me in aircraft. Thanks for the great comment!

LesWalden Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I will never have owned, let alone built that many models in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonL Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Ahhh...the "ground truth" at last. Maybe the lost vehicles were hidden from overhead imagery by the trees, and they had to estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campingramps Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 545? I've been in hobby shops that didn't have that many. And I thought my 50 kits was a lot. Good going, Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
