[Bob Beary]

Thanks.

 

[Mr.Happy]

Outstanding as always.

 

 

Very nice collection you’ve amassed for 2024.

 

 

And concerning Phantoms your probably very close to reproducing every livery made. Which is awesome!

 

 

It’s always great to see your work,

Might need to change your name to Hornet!  They seem to have taken over the phantom production. 😁

[Robert Garelli]

You possibly can't be married...and have to be chained to your work bench! Thats alot of completed builds in a year, wish I could punch that many out. Nice work on all of them!

[Cubs2jets]

A prodigious output.

 

Them Otters look like Beavers.  Must be the blue background throwing off the contrast.  LOL!

Thanks guys, you are right they are Beavers.

30 years! She has her hobby and I have mine.

[Drake64]

Really a lot of beautiful models 🙂

This year I have finished only one model

Nice builds!

 

how did you end up getting customers (plural)?

 

I think I had only 1 person ever ask me to build something, this person was in the UK and I didn’t want to ship a model at the time.

I posted completed models on ARC and they sought me out. 99% of the builds are picked up by the buyer at my home. Only had to mail one this year. Postage was almost as much as I charged to build the model.

I think that might be the biggest factor, keep the cost down to the supplies I have to buy and then just a little for the time. Don't get rich doing it.

No, I am the only one that ever goes downstairs. If anything we need to downsize.

DUDE!!!  Awesome adds to the collection for sure.  I think you'll have to run a yard sale soon to try and thin out the herd a bit 😉

Oh I do. Thinking of unloading a BUNCH of 1/48. Problem is shipping. I am doing a 1/32 Tomcat right now in markings of a 1/48 I all ready built. If someone wanted to pick it up (and a few others) they would get a heck of a deal. Like less then I paid for the model. Just hate the idea tossing them. I all ready gave a away a couple dozen models, but the ones I have left are kind of good.

[lgl007]

Makes sense.  If i had to room I'd pick some up from you to add to my collection.  But as it is I'm constantly struggling to fit everything in and I still want to continue building... 😉  Well, you know how that is better then anyone... LOL.
