  1. Charles....they did a thing on figure painting here once and in the mag...its helped me some but I have a long way to go yet too on them..and other stuff like weathering. I really want to start over on my 2 large dioramas I had done once the storm here took out...just have to find what I need to yet. One was a 60s Gas station using the MRC gas station kit...the other a 1970 car dealership using the same kit. I had them wired for LED lighting ran on a small battery and made to be placed together as one very large diorama.
  2. Awesome work...! I like to add scale figures to many of my builds..too bad most kits do not come with them they add a realistic touch to them.

  20. Same here....I love them too much in the first place and building helps keep my active and busy....everyone I get a hold of will be built.
  21. You got that right Marty...! Too many of us have to try to get by on next to nothing for funds makes keeping busy or realizing any of our dreams very tough and sometimes impossible. I always try to help when I can knowing how things are...just makes everything easier for everyone in the end.
