Hey, Brent. Yeah, it is on the shelf. Thanks!

I knew you would get the best of it In the end! Honestly it looks very good and you went out and tried new things on this build. That's a win to me.

You got her done! And you learned some new things in the process! I'd consider that a win!

Good job on both the model and hanging in there to the finish line. Sometimes just completing the beast and getting it off the bench and onto a display shelf is victory enough.
Take a breather then move on to the next one.

Thanks, Floki! It is always good to try new things.

John, thanks. Your urging on to try the painted insignia was spot on. Not as crispy as I'd like, but a good first try! Thanks again.

Thanks, Carlos. There was enough to like about this one to someday do another....with lessons learned. Up next? Going to finish off the Victor.

Ha, I'm proud of you, Lyle. You've been tenacious through the whole build and that paid off big time.

I agree with all the boys, Lyle, good job, I'm still chipping away at mine, but have gone a slightly different route.... I personally think yours turned out really well, you should be proud of that and using new techniques too... right on !

That didn't turn out bad at all Lyle. I've been meanin' to comment on this one for a while but at work I can't view the pics. I have to look at them on my phone which I can't always get the best results on since it's got a small screen. In any case you did get this one done and nicely at that. You've got no kick comin' as my dad likes to say. :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:
