CraigDaModeler Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Greetings guys and gals, I am making this post in an effort to try and revive my model building interest. This is the last model I completed……that was in early 2005! I have actually been a registered member on this forum for over a year, joined about the time I sunk deep into my “slumpâ€, a major motivation issue I have yet to hurdle. I have one project on the bench and in two years it is not even half done. I recently started lurking again and even posted my sob story on in the General forum under the ‘Reintroduction Thread (I will not repost that here, go there if interested, page 6) Anywhoot, I thought maybe I could get myself back on track by actively participating on the board. So I will start it off with my last completed build. I don’t think I posted this model any were before, not just due to the slump but because I never even took the time to take decent photos, something I loved to do as much as building. This is all I have so excuse the poor images. No more words, just the photos. Edited April 2, 2008 by CraigDaModeler

Bernard Kron Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Beautiful, and beautifully photographed. Such sensitivity to the subject and so much realism, right down to the in-scale paint textures – the stormy skies didn’t hurt either! Your modeling muse must be revived so that all that talent doesn’t go to waste. “Much respect†indeed...
