thank you for the kindness.
please dont think i am running myself down, not the case really. i just see and know the flaws. when i look at the builds of those that i have come to respect i dont see the same flaws. none of my work is sound when it comes to the basics of modeling. i struggle with some of the basic stuff. i am still learning. you might say i started running before i could crawl. i scratch built an atat several years ago yet struggle to fill seams. i tend to put a moderate amount of scratchbuilding into many of my a/c builds yet i struggle with getting two kit pieces to mate up the way the instructions tell me to.

i definitely am my own worst critic. i was the traditional loner when it came to model building. it wasnt until the very late 80's and early 90's that i found others that were builders. it wasnt until the late 90's that i learned any of what some would consider the most basic of techniques. i believe my first "painted" model was in the late 90's. just never had the ambition nor the motivation to try to make my builds better. then in the early 2000's well i got into trying everything and anything and like i said some of it worked and well some of it didnt.

as in the civil forum here is some of what i have done. and like i said if quality were a requisite then i would have been turned away at the door.
They are looking good,Joe!
And trust me when I say your models will even improve by looking at what others do here on Modelers alliance
modelers around here are not afraid to share their 'model secrets'.
Talking about 'model secrets',...how the heck did you do that cracked patchy snow on your Panzer IV base?
I for one like that very much.
Greetings,Ron.
