Mr.Happy Posted December 26, 2024 Share Posted December 26, 2024 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, Mr.Happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted December 26, 2024 Share Posted December 26, 2024 Might need to change your name to Hornet! They seem to have taken over the phantom production. 😁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Garelli Posted December 27, 2024 Share Posted December 27, 2024 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cubs2jets Posted December 27, 2024 Share Posted December 27, 2024 A prodigious output. Them Otters look like Beavers. Must be the blue background throwing off the contrast. LOL! C2j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted December 27, 2024 Author Share Posted December 27, 2024 Thanks guys, you are right they are Beavers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drake64 Posted December 29, 2024 Share Posted December 29, 2024 Really a lot of beautiful models 🙂 This year I have finished only one model Roberto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Edited December 31, 2024 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lgl007 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 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 😉 -Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lgl007 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 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. -Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
