Pictures!!
My older stuff and more:


Needed almost no paint.



Rare. Try finding THIS for sale. I found ONE in the U.S.



My kitbashed Mig-31. Not bad for the time I invested.



The Viper after Sonisall fashioned a wing replacement for me.


An all-toothpick Dodge Charger by Sonisall.



Wow, I almost forgot I even HAD this!

By 'kitbashed' do you mean made of bits from other models? I ask coz the area behind the Firefox cockpit doesn't look quite right.

Love the others though, especially the Batmobile and Galactica. Can't place the last one but I think I should know it. What's it from?

As for the toothpick Charger then that just screams 'too much time'. Is the galleon in the photo behind the charger a toothpick one as well or is it plastic.

Yeah, and the intakes are too close together too. It was this kit:

That I re-worked to get the Mig-31. Not perfect, but pretty close.

It's a wood 'puzzle'. Sonisall's work as well.

Looks like the plane Clint Eastwood flew in I think the movie was called Firefox?

I'm jealous of your Galactica.

Here's a couple of pics of some of the ships I've collected. I'm going to have to go via models to get some of the missing ships and fighters. I've got a scale hang-up. In that ultimately I want to collect them is the same scale when I can.

That an affirmative (you must think, in Russian).

There's one on Ebay for like, 35 bucks I believe, (Or WAS, last time I looked...).
It was a super easy one to make, too. If memory serves, it was 8 pieces!!!

I see a possible future in the prop/set departments of some movie studio. Get him to Hollywoodyland now. We need a new Stan Winston - it could be him.

He greatly appreciates your comment, LW. And he says that CGI is highly over-rated as a tool.

I say that it's a tool in the toolbox, not to be ignored nor over-used.
