I have seen a number of the one's you have shown, and in my non expert opinion, they look incredible. I keep forgetting about your scale modeling blog, but I have now rectified that by adding it to my watch list. If you do decide to sell any of your kits, I would be very interested in seeing what's available.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-60652505157861828472016-05-23T06:47:10.252-07:002016-05-23T06:47:10.252-07:00Yikes!

In fact I'm thinking about selling about 90% of my collection of unbuilt kits, mostly because I need the storage space for other stuff. It used to be enjoyable to me, but I have not really enjoyed the hobby sine 2010 or so. I would still stay in it somewhat, but I really don't need over 1000 model kits, which is the number I was at when I stopped counting in 2007. I also run a modeling blog. http://scalemodelinghistory.blogspot.com/Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-69659035606769403172016-05-18T18:56:22.633-07:002016-05-18T18:56:22.633-07:00Mark, I think you're one of three, who do actu...Mark, I think you're one of three, who do actually like them.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-85992353997500697872016-05-18T17:25:55.252-07:002016-05-18T17:25:55.252-07:00For the record .

With a reminder of it's existence in your comments, I finally checked out a few of the more recent posts (I didn't go to far back, yet) and I think you are being much too humble in regards to your painting skills. That Grey Knight figure you have featured looks like something that has been professionally done, one could easily imagine finding it in a package with some exorbitant price tag attached to it. In other words, it looks amazing!<br /><br />Thanks for the words of encouragement! I think I will have a little more patience this time around, especially since I certainly don't have the kind of distractions around me that were happening twenty years or so ago. I don't think I will be posting too many model related things on this blog, as I would imagine they would go over about as well as the basketball related posts (which isn't very well). I am thinking about starting another one though, for all my non card related interests.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-40018979443284237602016-05-16T17:12:55.756-07:002016-05-16T17:12:55.756-07:00It's been a while since I painted anything new...It's been a while since I painted anything new, but I have an interest in miniature wargaming models. I've done a fair amount of building and painting, but I can't say I ever got really good at it. It's a steep learning curve, but sitting and working on models for a few hours can be quite relaxing. If you want to see some of my stuff, my old blog is still up and (infrequently) updated at http://chonk34.blogspot.com/<br /><br />I guess I would just say to keep at it and not get too discouraged when things don't come out looking exactly like the models in Fine Scale Modeler. Those models are the result of many, many years of experience and learning. If you post pictures of your work on your blog, over time you will be able to see the improvement in your own work by comparing early photos to newer ones. There will be plenty of frustrating moments, but in the end it will be pretty satisfying to have something tangible in your hands that you created.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.com
