Great work and great photos. Wow!

Nice fall day to take pics of a newly finished Raptor in the driveway. Kept the weapons bay doors shut. All those little parts would eventually get broke off and lost.

Great work steven!! This kit is in my stash and I've been wanting to get to it. Hopefully it turns out half as awesome as yours

I lose interest whenever the weather is nice. I'm pretty active and I hate being stuck inside. Finished my last model in June and have yet to start the next one. I'm also not much of a TV watcher, so when I'm stuck inside all winter I'm either playing PC/PS3 games or working on a modelling project.

Future. Be sure and let it cure for at least a whole day first.

This makes me not want to go near the Hellcat in my stash. It won't look nearly that good. Amazing finishing work. Cheers!

I agree. I've had people (who know nothing about models, btw) call my models works of art. I don't know about that as there is much better work than mine on this site that I would call works of art. I don't feel guilty about calling it a craft, though. My saltwater reef aquarium is a hobby. Collecting and shooting guns is a hobby. For me modelling has become something bigger and more special than a hobby.

It wasn't a kit that got me back in to modelling, but an airbrush. I'd always loved planes, but stopped making models when I was 11 or 12 because I was then 'too old' for them. To me back then they were just toys. Build them, paint them, play with them, blow them up in the back yard. Those days were over. My grandma is a professional artist, and at some point she had a Badger dual-action airbrush and compressor given to her by some vendor to try out. She had no interest in it, so I said I'd take it and try to make a model look like they do on the box photos. I was about 17 at the time.
