 Alittle touch up work and some smoothing of the brass will make this a great choice to have gone with. |

I don't know if I want to because of the sheer volume of work but.....it is Mario after all. |

I am glad the word "awe" has been used to describe your work. I am glad my pitiful efforts have not been shown here given what you do. This is astonishing to say the least. Waiting for the next installment.

Waiting for the next installment. Jim I would certainly hope that seeing my stuff would not deter you from posting your projects. We are all on here for the same reasons. To make great models and learn from those who know how. If you have projects to post ....please do so. I think the other members would also agree. |
