Amazing! If you don't mind me asking what did you use for the aluminium finish? Jeff

Sorry for the late reply, been busy with work and our 10 month old. Thanks for all the compliments. I took it to a nearby IPMS show and got a 2nd in a cut throat category that had two entries , however I took some solace that the judge said it was a difficult decision. I've never done the club thing before but it was a fairly enjoyable experience. I'm really enjoying this forum as opposed to some of the other I've been on. I'm planning on building my 1st plane in about 2 decades next and am pretty tempted to try doing a build log so I can get some constructive feedback as I go along. Cheers Jeff

Hi, 1st post on the forum. Joined because of all the press it was getting over at doogsmodels.com/ , which has been an incredibly helpful site for brushing up on the basics after a 20 year hiatus. Been modelling again for a little under two years, focusing exclusively on armour but I plan on trying a plane in the coming month or so. Some other forums I've tried out have been pretty petty about things, so I hope this is like the old Sparforum in that it's laid back. Any ways the good stuff, it's a Tasca Sherman III with ultracast dry transfers The building is a miniart vacuform with roof, rafters and shingles made out of coffee stir sticks and wood veneer. The two figures are miniart with hornet heads. Although I hate how my figures usually turn out I'll give these guys a generous B-. I'm at least willing to prove they exist. I didn't paint the frame since I'm hoping to take it to a show on Saturday and have run out of time. There is things I would change about it if I had to do it all over again but for a 1st dio attempt and where my skill level is at I'm happy with it. Thanks for looking Cheers Jeff
