dreammh Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 A$500 for this baby????? HERESY!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Wenman Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) Matt hi Picked up this thread a bit late, but thats an excellent build :wacko: I can understand why you're sad to see it go, and as others have said A$500 is underpriced. However the general public does not seem to be able to consider models as art Pete Edited October 14, 2005 by Pete Wenman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rodney Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) That is awesome! And here I was thinking about putting one of my Hasegawa 1/48 F-16D Israeli kits on eBay... now I think I'll have to build both. Maybe try one as a F-16I. Thanks for posting.

Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Matt! That is beautiful! Do you have to ship this beauty? If so, how do you do that without damaging it? Hats Off! Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Walker Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 G'day all, Pete, the guy that commisioned this is a member of my IPMS club, so it "should" be a relatively painless, damage free hand-over. Can't vouch for what happens then though..... Thanks for all the comments, too. Much appreciated. Matthew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dehowie Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Nice finish Matt. So are you coming down to Expo next year with gary to bring some nice 48th Jets for the comp??? Well done. Darren Howie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Walker Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hey Darren! Would love to go the Melb, but my work schedule isn't very flexible. Thought you may recognise this, too.... More hereMy Webpage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aim9guy Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Congrats on the awesome build. I build for others as well, and although you never get what you've put into it, there's something to be said for sharing your talents with other people...esp. the guys that flew them. A collector advised me of a great way to ship models that's worked extremely well. Send an email my way, and I'll fill you in on the details. Thanks again for the inspirational work!
