That is some gorgeous work! How long have you been doing this? Do you have more pics and close-ups? We'd love to see 'em.

What an entrance!

I been doing this more than 55 years when I was a child I grew up poor couldn,t efford to buy any kits there wer.nt to many out there only plastic kits that were available were monogram Revell. lindberg aurora they were pretty cheap but I always grabbed a peice of wood or paper and made my own models as i got older I could efford anything I wanted that had a keel or a wing. I enjoy building from card and paper. every day i find cardboard or paper clear lexan or acetate. I store it for future use.

Only limit to paper is when you run out of model plans LOLllllllllllll I have here another attached photo of a Fleet oiler I served on durring the vietnam War U.S.S. ASHTABULA AO-51

The UNITED STATES was very well done.
I'd like to build the AMERICA.
Any suggestions?
