my F104 has a bent tail a little and my Harrier has one of its rear elevator thingys bent up a little. all decals in place though, i need to order the P51 as the store didnt have the thing in that week(they only get one in for me as it didnt sell well) i will also just order a new harrier edition with it. have a whole squadron of them:)
i was confused why they didnt include the Lynx, world helecopter speed record holder, back bone of the british army for years. when you look at upcoming models a few could have been left out instead.
looking forward to the Hind model, the F16 and the Cobra

The P-51 is a B/C model and is quite nice.

Everyone has done such a fantastic job of building, painting, and photography.  But loomex has out done you all.  check out  his 5th pic down, who else would have thought to model "The Game of Life" and done such a fine job of it. ;D ;D  Any armour out there?  Sad to say mine is long gone, but would love to see the work of others.

I agree, if you can build em, lets fly em and see them active in their environment........ ;D.....we have a few R/C pilots on here, and have had a few suggestions of an R/C forum, but so far, I think the interest isn't high enough to warrant one. After all, there are many specific ones for that and this is really a virtual flying site forum. Thats not a knock, but an observation.

Pardon the wires hanging out. I just took this picture a couple of minutes ago while it was still charging.

While I am normally an aircraft modeler, I decided to do some motorcycle kits while recovering from a full sized motorcycle wreck Here is on of a Tamiya 1/6 scale Harley FXE1200 that I did.

Yes, it is a model, it's just the way I took the picture. Honestly guys. Here's a picture of it under construction.

well ill have to do some diging.  i have somewhere around 50 cds of pictures that ive taken over the last 6 years.  most are of trips that ive taken and some from a photography class i took last year.  i know that one of them contains some of the pics ive taken of the models ive put together.   i dont know if i can find the one of a F15 that i put together a few years ago.  it looked great but about a month ago while moving furnicher around the brakes must of failed because it went off the end of my display case and shattered 6 feet below. >:(   right now im working on a model of an Air France Concorde.  ill take some shots of it when i get it done.  i cant beleve how hard it is to find a Concorde model that isnt some cheep snap together. ???

 Hammerfly, I think you need to downscale your picture a little.
 
 Anyway, I found the only picture I know of that I had of most of the armour I built, it has all since been destroyed, it's not a great picture but you get the idea:

That Nebula looks very much like a Gentle Lady and must fly about the same....is yours a two meter sailplane and how do you launch it?.....winch or high start (bungy) ?

ps: Love your avavtar....just to let you know, I touched the real Goblin........ .....it's so small !

Hey Rifleman, i've never seen a Gentle Lady, though i have heard a lot about them. Its actually an electric glider, so a good chuck of the top of a hill or flat field and shes away. Beautiful flying to be had, hands of, very sedate. Go here http://www.ripmax.com/ProductFrames/a-rtf2000.html for more info.

Hi Paz   Thanks for the armor pics.  :D  Bring back memories, although my stuff was all WWII, except for a British Royal Chiefton.(hope I spelled that right)  Again thanks.

The models I collect are sports cars and race cars, all are 1:18 diecast or larger (NO NASCRAP err NASCAR), but rallye cars, TOCA, German Touring cars, sports cars, etc. What started out about 7 years ago with buying a diecast model of one of my fav sports cars, turned into a hobby of over 250 models now  ::) Many are rare models that I buy overseas. Then there are a few cheaper models that I buy so I can disassemble them and paint them accordingly.

Sadly all are in boxes in storage as my car room became my art studio (which is more important)
My life is like the movie Office Space
