That's pretty cool Born. Do you have a collection or just getting into them?

Well, I have a B17g and B29 in my office at work... But B-36 is 38 inches from wing tip to wing tip so there is not a lot of room for a collection. How about you, do you make models?

Wow 38" that's huge, I guess space would be problem, lol
I did a lot of muscle cars when I was a kid but nothing in the last 30ish years, lol.

I don't know if you guys have ever heard or seen them, but my dad collects the medal cars and Star Trek models. He gave me two of his cars, I'll have to take a picture of them and post when I get off of work.

Cool stuff, Born! I built planes and muscle cars back in junior high (early '70s), but I was a terrible painter. Do you use an airbrush? BTW, James May of Top Gear fame fabricated and then had kids build a full-size version of an Airfix Spitfire model on his "Toy Stories" show. Here are some photos of the finished model. spitfiresite.com/photos/galleries/2009-james-may-airfix-spitfire/index.htmSomething tells me it wouldn't fit in your office. Parts 1-4 (no ads):

Yup, I use the "Badger Air-Brush Co 360-7 Universal Airbrush"... A am a big fan of Top Gear and I saw the "Toy Stories" episode. BTW, I started my model building "carrier" in the 70s about junior high time!

Sweet!!! If those photos aren't motivation to clear out part of my overstuffed garage for a decent workbench, I don't know what is.

My dad use to do this but with cars you gotta have patience and a steady hand. I tried it once and was getting so frustrated parts not wanted to stay once I tried gluing them in and all.

Gorgeous!
BTW, which base is that? The hills in the background look familiar. I want to say Travis, but you're not in California.
