Hi Guys

Its been a long time since visited this site ...I dont collect die-cast as not much of interest ,but i do still build models .I am not a pro modeller i just build for fun and my personal favourite is 1/32 scale .. i do build 1/48th ,but only commissioned for a friend .. all kits are build out of box without resin or p.e parts unless included with kit .Also these are hand painted not airbrushed .Many of you guys may remember me, some not .
Here is a link to my models i have built .. i sold/gave away all my 1/72 builds as were posted on diecast forum u.k .. so here goes ...

Thanks for looking and welcome any comments . personally have over 60 kits to still build in 1/32 and unlimited in 1/48th as to what commissions i do .In the 1/48th section there are many builds , the other folders speak for themselves .

Welcome back Chris. I've missed seeing your models. I kept an eye on a lot of your stuff at the UK forum.

Thanks Louie and aeroeng

.I wont be posting in the diecast arena here .I will just limit to builds and any advice that i can offer to builders .. just posted on my photo bucket site a A/B-26C conversion into a A-26K veit nam era .. used resin props, nose , scratch built pylons and used spare armament from tamiya skyraider .. the original kit was a monogram 5508 with aftermarket decals .. heres a taster

Welcome back, Chris!

Any reason you hand paint rather than air brush?

[Chris]

Hi Bill

Yep there is .. i do own an airbrush .. not got the confidence yet to use it ... i may do on future 1/32 builds .. have a long list to do ..approx 60+ planes ..20+ 1/35 armour .. and a real nice 1/35 elco boat .. not doing a list as its too long .. lol

BEAUTIFUL MODELS!!!!! Century Wings and Hobby Master should take notice of your Cutlass, A-7,Viking,F-4,F-100,F-102,Skyraider and F-106. I can hardly wait until my Century A-6's come this month.after seeing your 1/48th model in the same markings as century's LM

Thanks for the comments

I am currently building a 1/48th Vigilante from Trumpeter , i will post 1 pic here but the remainder will be on my photobucket link under 1/48th , Hopefully will be in next 2-3 days ... If its of interest i charge £35 approx $70 to build a 1/48th kit out of the box and takes approx 1 week to complete .. I am sure if i sprayed it would take less time .My commission work i do for a friend prefers a clean look as i prefer a weathered look

Hello to Chris!

It has been quite some time. I look forward to seeing your pictures--and you always had some good comments about the craft.

Thanks for posting. Don't forget us for so long. ATTABOY, Louie. We do miss him.
