torqueofthedevil Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Here's what I have been up to in recent months. Pretty crummy compared to what everyone else manages to achieve, but they have kept me busy! 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny akes Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Crummy by whose standards? Some real crackers there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, but most people manage a higher standard in the smaller scales than I do in the bigger ones! I just don't have the knack of proper detailing, nor the patience to try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve27752 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 If they are crummy? Send them my way. I think they are very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 especially like the Swiss Mosquito - ok, I might be a bit biased 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Nothing the least bit crummy about any of those. I think they're great. As a reminder, each of us builds to a standard we're comfortable with and that brings us satisfaction and that's perfectly acceptable. Your modeling skills actually surpass mine, but like you I have neither the "knack" or desire (or in my case the patience) to go for further detailing and I'm happy with the results of my work ... most of the time. What's funny is that my family members who don't build models think my finished pieces are incredible. When you get down to it, it's all a matter of perception. Keep on building. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say that I'm pleased with the result, even though that's solely due to the eye-catching colour scheme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel slightly in awe of the people who go to town on the detailing and weathering, and end up with absolutely remarkable models as a result. Maybe one day...!

I have absolutely no connection to Switzerland, never even been there (though I'd love to) ... and that Mossy is definitely a fine looking stand-out piece! 😀What a great scheme! I like the P51 too, always loved the half and half aluminium schemes rather than the full metal finish birds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) these look great! Especially the mossie, more pictures perhaps? Edited September 27, 2020 by Adam Poultney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luftmodels Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I think you did a lot and did it very nice. Quality stuff, mister! 👏🏻 Don't be so hard on you, many modellers would love to have your level of skill. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Very nicely done! And I have to say quite a respectable rate of production with 7 aircraft completed. Thanks for posting these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I don't think they are crummy at all. Yes, some people do some pretty amazing models and I impressed by their skills. I model to suit me and I am generally happy with what I produce. Building kits is my hobby and I do it to a standard that gets stuff built and does not stress me. Don't sell yourself short, lots of others will do that if you let them (a lesson I wish I had learnt earlier in life) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I think they all look very nice! I don't think I could pick a favorite from among them, but the Swiss Mosquito is interesting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
