Description

Decided that at the rate I was posting them, I would be here until the year ended if done in bits and pieces. Over the years, have built a lot of replicas but have less time now. A lot of the pictures are small sizes, 600x400 or so. This seems like the perfect opportunity to start up Photoshop and put them into big rectangular photo collages organized by nations. I included only pictures of craft that I built by scratchbuilding or making from raw materials, plastic, wood, paper or parts from existing available kits- into designs that have not been available at hobby stores in 1/144th scale. Tried to avoid duplicating ones I have posted here individually, but likely to have dropped some of them in as well. Building is for me, almost a form of that affliction that some have where their hands have to keep occupied. Often, when talking on the phone, listening to a radio show or tv talk show or such thing, its like doodling or knitting, as long as busy. I'm doing other things these days (school related) so don't worry about my fingers. While doing a lot of building, was not really as much into collecting. At peak, well over 500 were on shelves , display cases, boxed- the worlds' 9th largest Air Force or 7th airline. Would give them in ones and two's to young folk visiting, usually those craft selected for their ruggedness. Others went to collectors around the globe, really rare subjects getting astronomical bid-wars on evilBay and some just requested to buy from enthusiasts , I guess that could make them commissions- right? Down now to a single shelf of 30 or so, and now and then a special request fires up the Skunk Works for a few days, plus the new occasional dragon replica or two. Might have missed a few, and will post these as they are found or new creations or photomanipulations are made.

I really want to try some more 1/144th scale planes myself. :)
