scale modelling

[lisatiffany]

are there any fans/builders of scale modelling out there? i was recently introduced to the hobby & though it takes time & a lot of patiene i'm getting hooked on it. so far i have only made 2 kits, a tank & some men but i also attended a military model convention last weekend. it was so much fun i went both days & took a bunch of pics. the models were really impressive & the amount of work gone into some of them was mind blowing = )













i'll add more as i get through kits - my next one is a Merkava III

(p.s. WarHammer & table-top gaming models count too)

The finished products have always looked nice and all, but I have to admit. Building models was never really my thing.

I'll post some pictures whenever I can get my hands on an SD card larger than 16MB...

I used to have a few model planes (SR-71 Blackbird and a P-51) but I have no idea where they are these days. More recently though I've been messing with Warhammer 40k models. I've got a small army of Space Marines at the moment, many of which I need to take or retake pictures of.

i look forward to seeing the marines, i took a pics of some warhammer guys in a games workshop store just a few days ago but haven't gotten around to processing them yet. thanks for reminding me = )

Very nice. I love the paint job.

Thats an awful lot of Nazi tanks ... are you trying to tell us something?

Actually, those are modern vehicles of the Bundeswehr; the Federal Defence Force of Germany. The German military still uses the Iron Cross.
