Rule of thumb for a keen modeller - for every model you finish, you'll have at least 2 more in store "for a rainy day" . I sold approx 150 kitsets before I moved over here - some dating back 25-30 yrs. Now, I just collect diecast and resin assembled models - 1:43rd race cars and 1:24 scale bikes. Easier on the aging eyesight and leaves more time for riding.......

I love making models - but I'm not very good at it and I so rarely have the time - I have an F14 tomcat that so far only had the landing gear painted and the Cockpit assembled!

Thanks for the offer but your better putting it on trademe.
I would actually like the 1/48 or 1/32 scale A-10 with the extra engine detail kit etc one day....
Making a foray into diecasts myself like someone else mentioned, some cools tuff there that's not available in plastic.

My dad flew Brewster Buffalos out of Singapore in the early days of the Pacific part of WWII. A few years ago I thought it would be cool to see if I could find a model of the plane. Not only did I find the model, but it turned out the model was based on planes flown by my dad's RNZAF 448 squadron. Not only that, but according to my dad's flight log, the individual plane (W4138) depicted in the model was flown by my dad on one sortie. I took more trouble with that model than any other I have made.

Nicely done and well photographed too. You could play with forced perspective and make it look 100% real http://petapixel.com/2013/10/14/life...s/#more-124262
Not mine but stopped in at Marsden point refinery visitor centre last week, some awesome architectural models of entire site and cranes that built it.

Would like to have the moolahs to buy some of the Weta vintage aircraft kits. Apparently there's a discount on some of them at present that brings the price down to semi-affordable

those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

Nice work on the Katana Steve!
Very unlikely. If you find a kit at a good price, grab it immediately. Prices are skyrocketing and evilbay prices are astronomical.
Weta refuse to re-release the kits as they currently appear, BUT intend to release a "collectors grade" range with a few extra bits in the future. Naturally these will be at stupid prices that only the wealthy could possibly afford, rather than a member of the general public who has an interest in the subject material.

As a keen modeler these are insane examples.
