C-141B Starlifter

This is my 'Grail Kit.' This was the model that I wanted most, the C-141 in 1/72 scale. Because it is resin, it's a lot of work. I think it will be worth it though. I've got most of the work done on the engines, and all I need to do to is clean them up a little. I've got the body together, the tail complete, and the wings on. My biggest worry is the wings dropping with age, so I built in a metal support structure that should prevent them from dropping over time. Next up will be attaching the engines and putting a primer coat on the whole body. This will show me any areas that need to be filled in. Then I'll get the landing gear all done while I paint and weather the rest of the plane. So far it's turning out pretty well.

Enterprise-A

Ok, I started working on this one for a bit a while ago and now I've stopped. There's too much detailing for me to want to deal with it. But I'm going to eventually finish this one, I promise!

I'll be using some free decals for the details, so it should speed up the process. Once I finally get back to it, that is.

Still not interested in finishing this one. Too much work for me right now. I will sooner or later though. Count on later.

Model stash

Here's the stash. Small by some standards. I had some more, but I sold them on eBay. I've tried to tailor my collection for now. I don't want to get so many models that I'll never finish them. I just want to have enough to keep me interested for a while.
