Actually looks very much in control. Most of us have things boxed up, squirreled away in closets and attics and lose track of what we have.

What makes the P-51 Mustang so special?

Thank you! The Patriot Missile is close to 1:18 see the German Figures standing next to it for scaling.... and Scud launcher is definitely smaller than it should be but I built it around a cheap fire truck I picked up at Savers for $4. The missile is made from scratch. I'll see if I can load a few more pics this weekend.

Thanks I appreciate it!
I have experimented with a lot of different materials. The bombed out buildings are cardboard and thin packing foam. Others are insulation board like the lighted building. Wood for the Control Tower. The WWII buildings are that crusty foam you would by at Michaels or hobby lobby covered with plaster (it looks good but it is the hardest way to do it).

I think you have a larger military representation than some third world countries
I take it you have neither cats nor dogs? Or are they just not allowed in the basement?
I've been studying the pictures for a while now just to absorb what's in them. Thanks for letting us see this amazing set-up.

Amazing collection. Any explanation regarding your HEMTT Patriot Missle truck.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity
Re: hay all. can I see pics of all of your collections
Sure! The base vehicle was a GI Joe branded but more toyish and less detailed than your normal toys. I had to cut out the windows, add antennas and side mirrors, consoles, interior, and ladders and tried to super detail it based off of reference photos.slogan wrote:Amazing collection.

That is some fantastic mod work. I have to hide my favorite planes on higher shelves away from the kitten >.>
