cobraman Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Your models always make me want to build better. Problems is at 65 I think I am getting worse. I know what I want to do I just don't seem to be able to pull it off. : ) Oh well, building keeps me off the streets at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codi Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 John, of all the fantastic skills you exhibit in your builds, I must admit my bias towards your painting skills. I always look forward to the end of your builds when you get to the paint. This one is no different. Love it man. cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
