WWII Scale model’s

[palmettomoon]

I was just in an "antique" shop and saw several 1/48 & 1/72 scale models for sale. Had to resist the temptation because I know myself. Buy one $15 kit and I'll wind up with $7,829.34 worth of paints, brushes, knives, saws, glues, etc., etc, etc. and take up an entire extra room in house.

It was fun reminiscing about the early teens and building/painting these WWII models. Loved the Tamiya kits.

Cheaper than being a gun enthusiast in today's world.

A little vignette of a German artilleriewagen I recently completed. Built this for my brother who donated the kit with tracks.

Absolutely amazing craftmanmanship and tremendous attention to detail.

Truth, I have one room dedicated to model building and $$$ tied up in paint, airbrush etc. Having built ak’s for awhile it’s definitely cheaper though, lol. I can’t hardly build guns anymore so this occupies my time now. I always gotta be building something, keeps my mind fresh...

I build model planes. And they fly, as the one in my avatar. Currently building a 1/3 scale Piper Cub. I'm 3 years into a 5 year project.
I'll post photos tomorrow

Scratchbuilt bridge from basswood. Gonna look nice on a base all painted and weathered up.
