Impressive work Tim! Very masterful!
I'd have to say now that my newest 'Best Build' is this ACE 1/72 scale Israeli Nagmashon APC. built some two years ago:
That is photo-etch cage armor all around it:
I am very pleased at the impact effect I added to cover up a black stain that nothing would remove and paint wouldn't cover::
Here is one of the main reasons this is my current 'Best Build': The first time I ever got a First Place at Southern California's premier model contest:
I don't know that I'll ever be able to top that, but I certainly won't stop trying!

Thanks Duke. That photo etch is insane! Very nice. I'm not sure I could muster up the confidence to take it on!
Congrats Mark!

Thank you Tim and Bob! It was a challenge adding all the P/E, but I had a surprising amount of fun working on it!

I don't know about my "Best" build. Like other guys, I hope it is my next one. The model that was the most fun to build and got the biggest laughs and consistent awards was the "Samurai Bathtub". The old pictures don't show the Banzai Rubber Duckie. He was posed by the herbal soap cake. TLAR Models Egg Doffin Family complimented Fujimi's Chibi-Maru Akagi. Fujimi's wood deck and PEE set were used as well.
I enjoyed the shit out of building the Samurai Baso Tubo! My dilemma lay in choosing the Stopping place. Aircraft piled on the fantail corner? A chain of sailors extracting one of their mates from the angry sea? Crewmen posed barfing over the leeward side of the EGG-Kagi? So much more could have been done. I stopped here.
Thanks again for looking in!

Thank you Paddy! So far I've been lucky and have not needed to go up in scale, I'm actually hoping and praying that I never will feel the need. I must admit; I've gotten considerable practice over the past few years.
