Here's a few pictures of my stuff from the last time I put it all on display. The top 2 pictures are about two years old. I currently have about 90+ planes, but only have about 50 or so of them out of the box. <a href="http://img61.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xdcollection129ox9.jpg" target="_blank"><...

The Lego thing really bums me out as this was one of my favorite toys when I was growing up. I spent hours and hours playing with these toys and I am still here despite inhaling and ingesting a few :wink: I was really looking forward to my future children playing with Legos. It's a good thing I save...

I found 6 or 7 FW-190Ds at Wal-Mart for $2 each. I bought them all and then sold or traded them. There were also a couple of WMs around me that would periodically purge their XD and I bought more than a few planes for $5 each. The trick was just checking the price everytime I went to the store. They...

My first was the D-Day P-38, then I didn't buy anything again until about a year later when I found the P-47 Peg O My Heart at Wal-Mart. That was the purchase that opened the flood gates. My most recent purchase was the Admiral ME-262 white 7 and that one brings the total to 92 planes.

What is the difference on the boxes for the cloth top vs. the plastic top? I want to make sure I don't pass one up in the store thinking it is the old plastic top truck.

Wow, that's a great looking Mustang! I've never seen that paint scheme before in any of my books. What's the info on this particular plane (squadron, pilot, theater of operation, etc?). Very nice work.

Here's my latest P-47D custom. I got tired of waiting for 21st Cenutry toys to do it, so I did my own 'Gabby' custom.

Just curious, but what exactly is a vinyl plotter? It sounds like a tool I need since I prefer to paint on most of the markings on my customs, as opposed to doing decals. I do make decals, but I like paint better since it doesn't degrade over time like decals. I've been enlarging 1/48 decals and the...

Jason, Glad to here that you'll be at Wings Over Houston this year. I missed it last year and thus haven't gotten a chance to chat with you in a while. Also, thanks for the updated info on your 1/18 projects, I still eagerly await the Dauntless and the Skyraider. I'll see you at WOH this year. Jason

It's always fun to drag out all of your planes and put them on display for a day or two. I usually do it once or twice a year, but I put mine out in the backyard on the patio. Nice collection.
