Hi all,
I know it been a long time. But I'm back and like how the site looks now.

Here are some pic's of my latest project.





It's named "Not 777" Sorry if you don't get it, it's an inside joke for any that's watched AFN Europe the past couple years.

Looks great. I like the display base. Good job. I'm guessing it is a farewell/retirement gift?

Thanks.
Christmas gift for a friends wife. "Made to Order" the only thing I really got to choose was the name.

Look's dandy, was trying to put 'two-and-two' together based on your cryptic " Not 777".....but couldn't make out any tail numbers or any other designators, sooooo..........nice work.

She looks like a 1/48th scale monster from the size of the chair she's sitting on.......unless the chair is for the wee dude on 'Fantasy Island'....

Yeah, it's the Italeri 1/48

As for the 777 on AFN Europe the USAFE ( US Air Force Europe) Commander used to have all kins of ads that come on the TV, and he'd always refer to his F-16, tail number 777. You'd see about 3 or 4 of his ads during a 30 minute show. It was worse than the store ads at Christmas.

Nice work on the Hercules. What work did you do in the interior’s cargo bay. I started one like three years ago, and it’s been boxed ever since. Sitt’in here looking at yours kind of sparks an interest again. The Air Force symbol, did you make it yourself ! Once again great job.

Just painted it. I wanted to do more, but run out of time. mid-November is a bad time to start a Christmas present model. Talk about time crunch.
