Had a good one watching your creativity! :)
I like the nameless one, and the He 162W! All are cool, but those are my favourites!

Wow, awesome work! Well done Borg!

I've noticed a lot of people posting threads showing their work past and present. Is this a trend here? Should I do one?

I think that is what the member gallery is for. One of the fun things is that you can see some bodice modelling portfolio, all in one place. More importantly, if you have a kit in the stash that I have build you can find it over here and we can start a conversation about that. That would not happen if I only posted my newest work.

Okay cool. Thanks. I guess I can start a couple threads there. I can put all my aircraft in one, all my armor in another one, some ships in another, and maybe a fourth one: miscellaneous for everything else.

Thanks Borg!

Parallel to the restoration effort also an update.

More Komets!

Academy Me-163 S, with cmk resin and Rocketeer decals for a captured soviet version. Also scratch build a soviet radio set with antenna in the rear cockpit and an extra Venturi tube.

Hobbyboss Me-163 B-1 with Rocketeer decals for a captured civil French aircraft. I vacformed a new canopy on a home made master because this aircraft was fitted with a one off bubble canopy.

KP Avia B.35.1 converted to the first (I think) prototype. Adjust canopy, heavy lines on the fuselage filled, exhaust where drilled open. Scratch interior.

Nice additions to your hive! The variety of Komets is eye catching! And I love that Avia. Such a good looking aircraft.

So, the gallery seems to be broken. So I thought I would just fill it a bit with some new shots of some older models. I took theses because of the member interview. So this is a bit of a sneak preview.

That certainly is a varied collection! Nice work.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
