Ofcourse i have some pictures from a part of my models:

Thanks alot guys!! :)

Mickey, i will ask my dad. He made it. We have building diorama's together, he's doing the buildings and i'm doing the fig's, vehicles etc.

Mai Strac, thanks alot!! :)
Right, the Skyhawk is Airfix new tooling. Really great model and fien to build! And the price is faboulus, only around 8 euro's! :o This one is my first fighter that i painted by airbrush (and second fighter i have build). Not perfect but i'm happy with the result.

The F14D i'm building is the Revell version. Nice model, only a few issues with fitting. I will post some pictures from it when its allready ;)

Your welcome ;)
I can really recommend this Airfix Skyhawk! No problems at all during the building.

Hahaha no, at this Revell kit aren't pilots. But maybe i'm putting the F14 on a base and putting on this base some figures. I have 2 kits from Revell and Italeri with pilots and groundtroops for this purpose ;) We will see... :mrgreen:

First of all, welcome at Benno's, I do remember you and your dad visiting FIGZ!
You could place a introduction in the members section, and as a member you can vote on the running duel ;-)
A small remark as a moderator, only place 1/72 and smaller, so no 1/35 here :nono:

Love your work (and your dad) and hope to see more of it here on Benno's
And bring it to FIGZ 2013 (02 june arnhem)
Well done!

Hello to you all! ;)

Sorry for my late reaction. A little bit busy last time :mrgreen:

Dads Army, thanks alot! Great you still know it! I remember a small talk between us.
Oh i'm sorry, i didn't see the introduction threat... :oops: Yes i know, 1/72 and smaller but the 1/35 Sherman was just a example from my works.
Thank you very much for your big compliment! And ofcourse thans from my dad.. ;) Yeah i will bring it to FIGZ 2013!

Peter, thanks alot! Haha no, my father is the one from the scratchbuild houses but we belongs together. One team ;)

Dutchboyinohio, thanks alot! You are a Dutch guy in Ohio? Cool!! 8) Grettings to the USA!
Well, the Sherman BARV is a Resin model from Arsenal M scale 1/87. Arsenal M is a small company how makes very nice 1/87 model in plastic and resin. They can send also to the USA.

KGV, thank you! Yeah, ofcourse i wanted some tips from you guys ;) I think i can learn new things to painted figures etc.

Much regards to you all!

Robert.
