Nice Ian....looks like the Dan Blocker z/16....?

A 50 year survivor...?

Outstanding, Thomas.....reminds me of mine oh so many years ago!...

...bored on a Friday.......lol

Thanks, Brad.....the figures are McFarlane from about 15-20 years ago. I found the Slash one with Marshall stack at a yard sale for a buck, and when I saw on eBay what they went for I was hooked. There are more pictures and special guests on the Diorama section put there last year....it's been a fun diversion from other modeling and like everything I have, it will always be a work in progress!....some equipment is stuff I have found at work, guitars are miniature keychains, etc.,....big fan of your work also.....what's up with you guys in the desert, anyways?!......rock on

Looks like a great new book released soon by two Swiss modelers recreating iconic photographs from the past......a must for my library.

Totally agree, Bob....it all fascinated me as a kid. I think I still build models to keep me in my youth now....after 50 some years, I finally completed my Civil War News card collection. Back in the day, we did not collect for investments like now....most of my cards are graded K for kid use!....(still wish I had my 69 z/28 I bought new, though...lol)...often thought the cards would make ideal subjects for resin models....maybe I can start a movement!.....

Outstanding, Bob!....this is great...loved Frazetta. I still have my 4 original Blazing Combat magazines my parents let me buy 53 years ago with Frazetta covers....

Chris.....what can I say that hasn't already been said?.....a truly gorgeous model that I have followed you building through the years. I believe you have given me the impetus to complete my version of this great kit. It was involved in a nasty wreck with a house cat years ago, and now it will be converted to run the Nostalgia Circuit campaigning as the Blood Assurance "Vein Vega" .....if it comes out looking a tenth as good as yours, I will be ecstatic!.....thanks again for your outstanding tutorials and am eagerly awaiting to see your next projects.........Chris

...anyone else watching ",The Terror", on AMC?......I think this is really cool.......

1/26, Ray......

Thought this limited edition (5000!) diorama of Seinfelds' apartment is really cool, though at $499.99, I won't be getting one!.....

No, David, I didn't build this...saw it on a Facebook modeling site and thought I would share it....

...really like this.....

Another classic, John.....saw the Chattanooga Choo Choo race here before the fire....really cool and really sad. I haven't done my General model yet, but want to do it like the ravaged picture shown.....members of the Andrews Raiders are buried here surrounding a monument of the train at the National Cemetary....fascinating slice of history....great work as always on your bench.

Shep Paine's work was truly outstanding.....witness "Inside the Monitor turret", "Defense at Rorke's Drift", and "HMS Victory gundeck".....

Wondering if anyone has more information on this photo.......has always fascinated me and would really like to have more details....thanks and a Merry Christmas to all!.....

...okay....can't compete with everyone else, but........I'm game...

Hey Michael....outstanding work and pics....really enjoy following along. This is my Virginia Privateer from Marine Models I built in the 70's.....after surviving numerous bloody and vicious encounters with the British and French foes, she sadly met her demise being knocked off the mantle by a cat!.....loooong restoration process will begin soon.....lol.....BEAT TO QUARTERS!....

...holy smokes, that's a beautiful engine!.......

...always thought this was really cool........and inspiring.

...thanks for the kind words, Dan....and EVERYONE else!....wished my hot rods were as well received....lol. Details following after work......and a few beers.

WIP......."SCURVY"!.........

...garden show......
