Amazing! There is a fine line between fine modeling and obsession, and I gotta wonder. But the work is incredible and way more than I would have the time, or the patience for.

That is truely amazing, now to be realistic. 75% of all that work goes hidden inside the fuselage and whatnot, I understand his passion but not his drive. I would rather work 1200 hours labor then buy many kits and after market parts / supplies and have all of that fun instead of two "godly" models. Thats just me though

I'm with you guys. Truly amazing. I'm using it to answer some questions I have on my 1/32 BBDoll I'm currently doing but please don't compare! I can't begin to fathom the time required. Way more than my if I'm lucky couple of hours a week. inspiring all the same. And shooter I hear you with the fine line thing. I feel completely un obsessed now!

For me it is worth if there is no good model of that particulary plane on the market, but if there is, it is a weist of life. That my opinion. Remindig you that I am a modeler myself and love makeing models.

I think I'm like most here in saying that I'd spend that 1200 hours making 50 or 100 models to my own (much lower standard), and not obsessing over details. After all, I make models as a way of relaxing, not getting myself more wound up!!!!

Having said that, the skill and dedication on display there is incredible, just to have a fraction of either would make me a much better modeler...

lol Ian lanc, But you gotta admit some of those parts are so small and to have the time to do it. Work well done. Makes me think whats his wife say about this. Hey Ian i see your into rc tanks! i have 1/18 scale tiger mk1 with all the add ons and it fires paint balls! i used it for tank battles was fan.

Guys! Hallo! That is the models buiding not just puting kits together by glueing it together and paiting it. There are people out there who builds models from the plans and drawings not from the kids at all. So what you will say obout them? All parts are done like that. They allso relax doing what they are doing.

Airframes · 04-06-2009, 01:02 PM

There's nothing wrong with what the guy has done, I still think it's fantastic. It's just that, in some areas of the model, was it really worth going to the effort of building parts that can never be seen, and will not perform any useful function being there?
I do realise that some people like to include everything possible, or as much as possible, so each to their own.
PS. I've done it myself sometimes!!

I did not mean that you guys think that it is something wrong with what the guy is doing. And you are absolutely right Airframes that some parts can´t be seen. I just know guy like that and i sad to him once the same thing. He answer me: " Marek! But I know that they are there". So somebody just do thinks like that for fun. I do it too, sometimes, but I still think that it is no use wen I have a great looking kid in my hand. But if there is no kit of the partikulary aircraft, then it is nice to do some detales just to know that they are there.

Airframes · 04-07-2009, 02:55 PM

I see your point Marek, and I agree. We must be mad sometimes!
