Ok so these aren't my pics but very cool shots taken by a gentleman named Kevin Kuperberg that I met at the show that was kind enough to forward me these pics. I plan on taking more pictures for myself when the chance arrives. But for now on to the pics........ "Debriefing at Debben" 
"Mission Scrubbed" 
"Birds of a Feather" 
"Merciful Opponent" 
"Maintenance in the Bats Belfry" 
More hopefully later if anyone is still interested.. WK out... |

Cool! Rather small ones! Could set a penny or a quarter next to them to help give a sense of scale. I'm guessing about 4" across? |

Neat, how did you make the canopy for "Debriefing at Debben" ? Thermaform? And the nose art on the B-25, is that paint? |

And the nose art on the B-25, is that paint? The forward and rear section of the canopy is the original just cut up. I used clear sheet styrene for the opened section of the canopy to add a little detail. The bat nose was an old Aero Master decal that had seen better days. But I was able to get it on the plane in fairly one piece. |

Holy crap! I can't even imagine trying to work that small, even in my younger hard core model building days.

Those are all excellent! I like to throw together these little kits now and then but my results are far from this. |

Thanks so much for the input guys! But wait a second Spooky! I've seen some of your 1/144ths and I must say, you do some nice work! Im quite envious of your Platz builds as well as your Shangri-La!

Heres a shot I took myself tonight of "The Bat". Definitely not as good as Kevin's camera but heck, it works.

Very nice indeed. You must have a steady hand and great eyesight. Whatever happened to your Ole 927/Diamond Lil build?

Ah yes, my 927. Might have to pick up that project again. Haven't really done much else on it, but I now know what I'd like to do with it, and feel a little motivated. (Aside from all the other crap I probably should be doing before I touch another model!:wink:) I believe Trae came up with the best scenario for displaying it so stay tuned.

Those are awesome! Where did you come up with those birds sitting on the Corsair? |

They were testing a new protective measure theory when they originally put the Corsair on the pole back in 1971. They felt that over time, the bird droppings would form a protective "cocoon" around the airframe, hence full protecting it from any further rain, deterioration or damage. 
I guess that idea was proved to be not so good for aluminum aircraft displayed out doors in a salt air environment!
