More coolness from the Duke. Man I think you finished 10 times more than me.....oh wait, I still havent finished on. Will try harder this year.

Wow Duke. That is amazing. Are you planning an Invasion....lol?
Your builds remind me of my childhood when I build a kit at least every week.

[Duke Maddog]

Thanks guys! I'm pretty proud of that respectable production.

Joe, I think I never really grew up in that respect. I still try to finish one a week or so. I hate having projects on my bench for too long.

Dusan, that YF-12 was fun to do!

 

[MrT]

Lots of work done there.

[Duke Maddog]

Thanks Mr. T. I think I could have gotten more done if I hadn't been so involved in that train. We'll see what happens this year.
