THE Worlds Greatest Modeler - Aircraft of World War II

Matt308 · 01-08-2008, 03:54 PM

In other threads there have been references to good modelers. Even great modelers. Asked about a past thread, I did some digging. And here he is. Mr. Park is a Modeler God amongst a world of wannabes.

There will be no poll. There will be no voting. Either you put up or shut up. This guy is THE worlds greatest modeler, hands down. End discussion.

Enjoy... [And Syscom if you have those original high resolution pics, please post 'em even if they are too large. We'll deal with Adler later.

As Matt said, there is no discusion. Those others are nice, but Mr. Parks handcrafted that model and everything works on it short of firing up the engine. Thats craftsmanship!

I think he was a dentist. And yes, there's no way to argue that.

If you look at Rojas site in detail you will see the same level of detail internally on some of his.

Check out the B-17 and Corsair.

Ya know what Matt? I got to give it to ya. That guy is the best. The other guy I posted, Pierre, he's got to be #2 on the list.

NJaco, there are craftsman and then there are artisans.

Mr. Parks is an artisan. Many of the parts on his model are actually functional.... move a lever and parts move.

Plus all his models are done with metal. Thats a tough "art" to master!

Please tell me Sys that you have those pics archived somewhere on your HDD. Oh please.
