When i start this old dog, i decide to make so many part, without resin, even i already have Verlinden and CMK. I realy wanna modify them. Second reason is of course, i wanna scratch somethin serious, first time in my life.
When i see quality of some scratch masters, i realy glad be cause im not provoked ridicule.
My skill realy dont follow my will, but practice is necessary, is it?
Thank you for positive comments, this give me strenght for more.

Cheers

We're in the same boat brother...

I have enough practice I may open office at some point.

Ridicule? HA! That's a thing of the past here, we have anything like that here now we'll deal with it in short order, trust me.

It's all about sharing the hobby. Looking at what you have demonstrated so far I'm thrilled you've shared it with us. :drinks

I think you are doing better than good... VERY GOOD! I love seeing old fashioned modeling (we call it Old School). Remember that much won't be seen after the build is completed to take as many photos as you can!

It is smart to limit yourself as to what to fix. Trust me, I abandon way too many projects because they take too much time to fix all I want.

I think it's awesome, I love watching scratch building projects.

Can you do us a favor and take some pics on a darker background? Better to see your great work!

Thanx for comments, guys.
@sharkmouth Oh, man, im already OLD, hahhaha. I have 40 and in fact i belong to "old scool". Of course, i realy love all this new tech, but sometime i wanna go in a past.
@ TomN Yes, you right, quality of photos is disaster! But i was realy short with time, you know, child red alert and similar :idonno . Equipment is not problem, and next sesion will be much better, i promise :drinks
