Hey Goerge 53 as you are right the craftsmanship on that model is very,very good as i too watch for his progress to come.I only wish i had the tools to make some of my parts, Oh if it were only possible but the funds are just not there.So not being out done i try as best i can to make it appear as real as i can with what i have............My hat goes off to this great builder as his work has definitely inspired me to try harder for the best results possible Edited June 12, 2009 by getrdun
george 53 Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Hey Kiddo, don't sell yourself cheep! YOU are doing a heckava job there ! It looks GOOD! Plus at your scale it maybe easier to mod or make something you need, which may or may not be outside of your skills, but at least your learnin,and I hope enjoyin it as you do learn! It looks good Jeff, and It'll look even better when your finished!
