Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat thinking you were being watched?

WoW! No Shi$!

Dude I thought I was young for being into modeling, at 28

That gives me hope for the future, Very impressive skill level for any age is demonstrated on that 109 and custom armor but wow! 17, congrats 8)
Stay with it brother, it keeps you young!

Like the others said, I wish this was my room when young 8)

The dedication, knowledge, imagination, ingenuity and skills are the most impressive I've ever come across for a 17yr old for any hobby

How did you keep your lil brother and sister from tearing apart your stuff? My kid brother destroyed my first Joe/SW collection in the 80s :lol:

Love the BF-109E Werra you've got in 1/18, fantastic job you've done. I bought the 1/48 diecast version of this scheme by Carousel on sale on a whim and its been one of my best buys and favourite in my collection, just absolutely beautiful

Do you have more pics of the B-17 behind the RAF Corsair? Is that a model kit?

I need to get some pics of that B17. My father made it in the 80s I think... He painted it exactly after my grandfathers B17 he flew in WW2.

My sister never goes in my room and my little brother shares the room but he knows I would behead him if he messed with anything. :o Kidding of course. :lol:

His stuff is basically from the waist down and in the closet. He will get his own room this year so that just means I have more space to put crap. LOL :lol:

I'm like you in that I just can't see limiting myself to one scale or genre of military items. I like planes, armor, ships, figures, all of it in any scale.

I agree, however, I usually stick to scales I can see. LOL 1/32 is about the smallest.

I agree but Ill get into smaller scales if needed for the project, In one room I have my large aircraft in 1/48, like the fw-200, b-24, b-29 and so on. I wish they had a BV 222 in 1/48 or a me323 but none so far, they are big in 1/72...

I collect 1/350 battle ships but I would like to get the 1/200 Yamato or the 1/72 U-boat

Nice. I had the same ceiling fan as a kid. F4U fan for the win! I still have everything but the applique that makes the body. I plan on mounting it in my garage as a vent fan for when I am working on my Mustang.
