My Collection
Greetings:
Here is my collection. I put a little description with each piece for the unknown pieces or unfamilar ones to the 1/18 guys. These pieces are all displayed in a spare bedroom which I use as a storage spot for my teaching materials not currently in my classroom or that are not needed. Anyway on to the collection. My apologies things are a little congested right now and it's too cold here to move many of these outside for photos.
The pride of my collection is certainly the 1/18 Blue Angels Hornet. I never decaled it and don't think I will, I kind of like it as is. I can't wait for Airstrike's BA Hellcat to go with this as well as the BBI Thunderbirds F-16
This is an airshow shelf. On this shelf is the 9 plane Red Arrows 40th Anniversary Set offered by Corgi in 2004. These planes are in the 1/100-1/150 range. Also on this shelf is a new Corgi Red Arrows Hawk featuring the 2008 color scheme, a Blue Angels Hornet, Thunderbirds F-16 and in the back is an Aermacchi MB-339 from the Frecce Tricolori (this got smashed in the mail but I got it back together somehow.) The larger plane is Corgi's Mig-29 in Russian Swifts Aerobatic Team colors.
This is my other airshow set. This is a 1/100 scale 8 plane formation set of the Patrouille de France Aerobatic Team. They fly Alpha Jets. This set was made by Atlas.
This is another special piece in my collection. This is a Cox .049 Gas Powered 1911 Pusher from the 1960's. This was given to me by my grandfather. I cleaned it up, replaced some parts and it looks great. The cardboard display was used in hobby shops to display the "store model" and to get people to buy it. I found that stand on ebay and had to have it. Hard to believe such a neat model was only $10 new. You can see the nose of my 1/18 Hellcat in the background
This is one of my Authentic Models Jennys. They are beautiful models and well detailed but very large and very delicate. The tail of the Hellcat is visible. These are postwar barnstorming colors.
Another Authentic Models Jenny, this one in British training colors.
This is the Authentic Models Sopwith Camel, this one's got a 29 inch wingspan. The problem with these models is they do not come apart, like the XD and BBI stuff. I love these models but they might be finding a new home because they are so hard to store and move around. On the small handmade shelf behind the Camel is a Curtiss Pusher I made from a crashed Cox version I had found at a local antique store. I made that plane the early version with the front control piece. Between the Jenny and the Camel is a metal handmade Wright Flyer piece which is rather interesting.
The Hellcat is tucked in the middle. Thank goodness for folding wings!
These are a lot of my 1/32 aircraft. Some of the 21st 1/144 birds fill in the front
The Pearl Harbor P-40 and Zero with the Seeman 109 and P-51 Donald Duck version.
The Atlantic Avenger needs its own shelf
Some more 1/32 stuff, Spit, P-47 & P-51B
More 1/32, my custom B-25 and BBI's F-4J
This is the one top shelf featuring the very large Authentic Models Spad and some 1/32 birds.
The other top shelf, Authentic Models huge Fokker Triplane, behind the Triplane is the Daisy June Corsair
The Jolly Roger Sabre occupies the top of the storage boxes in the one corner.
The Tiger Meet F-104, somehow I have four F-104 schemes, too many on clearence I guess
The Spitfire shares the next shelf with the BBI 1/32 warbirds
BBI's big boys get the top two shelves, the F-16 and F-18. I've substituted the F-104 pitot tube on the F-16 because I have no idea where the F-16's is
A very small shelf in the corner has the FOV P-39 and a small bank of the Goodyear blimp which is one of my favorite pieces ironically. The small F-18's in front were on a cake my students had at the end of the year last year for our school part and have found their way into my collection
The final piece in the collection is a Raptor, this is a repainted PTE bird. It got scuffed moving and needs some touch up, but isn't bad
Currently in storage includes 3 F-104's, a P-47 and a couple of 1/32 birds.
There is also a PTE A-10 currently under customization
I have to catch up on helios as I have none

WoW,
After seeing some of you guys collections I’m almost embarrassed to show anything of mine, 90% of my stuff is stilled boxed, but I will take you on a quick tour of my shop where I work
My Shop
Just inside front door
Computer work station
Detail and finishing station
Molding, casting, and scratch building table
Small work station where i build small items to cast, and take models apart
assembly line (1)
figure rack
Another View
Bone yard corner
Misc items on small shelf
4 foot shelves, for every boxed aircraft you see, there is 3 more behind it
Boxed 1/6 scale items
favorite work station---My Custom harley i'm building a little at a time---
View out of shop from finishing work table, X markes the spot, Christmas morning i dropped a 4 point (Small Buck) on that far ridge from my front door proped on a stool using a 1916 8mm German mauser "open sights" a little over 200 yards, He dropped like a sack of feed, It's not that i'm a great shot, I was using a great shooting Weapon, But when i fired i was about 3 feet inside my shop, The boom was so loud it knocked some things off my shelves, and it felt like i busted both ear drums,They rang all day, I guess i got caught up in the moment, LoL, My wife was pissed all day and raised Hell at me but it did not matter, because i could not hear her anyway, by the time my hearing came back she had cooled off, But anyway put this on your list of things to never do, so anyway this is my shop where i build all my customs.

I wish I had pic.s of my collection that are nice enough to post, but the crafting room is a mess THis holiday season, i had to move a ton of stuff in there and models are piled on the dio table. Looks like a W-80 had gone off in there But, dispair not, I will have something posted soon. I could do a shot of the Allied tanks on the shelves in the BDroom and if I straighten up the craftroom shelves, a good share of the Hun forces could be neatly displayed Perhaps if I get time, I could start straightening the dio table up. That is, once I make it to the table after moving the Christmas totes out of the way

Very few of us will ever have the kind of shop that TheHun has, and even fewer has the talent for customizing existing work.
Very nice shop.
Sooooooooo, I wonder what plans the TheHun has for those 21C 1/6 CC's?
My WC-52 was converted from a 21C CC and, if on the market today would command a nice price for an ambitious customizer.
TTT

WoW TTT
I do like that custom, Did you do it? I worked in 1/6 scale before i dropped down to 1/18, It seemed everytime i would list a 1/6 custom on e-bay someone would complain about a iron cross, ss collor patch on a figure or german sign on my vehicle, It was always something, Later on i found out it was a couple of competitor's, so instead of lowering myself down to their level i just moved on, That was several years ago, but i am starting to work more in 1/6 now, i got a custom scout car that i'll be listing in a week or so, also working on a 1/6 German Half-track, as far as the Command cars--- they are just sitting with all the other 1/6 stuff, boxed up and put up---waiting---.
If you ever run across a good 1/6 tiger for sell let me know, I would love to have one.
Here are some photos of a CC i done a few years ago

I think I remember seeing your "captured" CC. Awesome work. Terrific weathering.
The WC-52 was made by John Ivory (decal guy). He built only a couple, and as I believe, he had trouble with the resin rear body. Many castings gave him so much trouble, he just gave up and he has stuck to decals. Mine is perfect. He must have gotten the resin right and gave up. A great guy to deal with. I'm far from a customizer, I've bought several custom 1/6 and 1/18 pieces and even bid on a few of yours.
Can I assume you are interested in one of the plastic 1/6 Tiger kit but not one of the Amortek metal $5-6000 kits.

TTT,
you assume right, My wife would Kill me if i spent 5-6000 on a toy, besides i can' hide that much money from her
Plastic will do fine, if the price is right, It could be damaged or broke, i don't care about RC, static is ok, i have a ton of trading power, military items, jeep parts, toy's, ect.......just keep a eye out for me if anything comes your way.
Thanks,
Everett,

Okay. I'll play.
Here are some teasers. As I've changed my display some, I'll take a couple of update photos of my current arrangement to post tomorrow.
To see the rest, click on my website button. Password's in my siganture.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
