Really cool pictures Bruce, thanks for walking us through your thought process.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Most interesting set of pics Bruce. Personally, I'd add the wood framing as it increases the visual appeal.

I do like that last pic. Amazing what these guys did to keep things moving.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Carlos, That is a really apt analogy, sir! I appreciate your ideas very much. Clint, likewise, I want to thank you and Mark and Carlos for making great suggestions about weathering with paint. I am certainly going to try out your ideas. A fella can only walk so far alone. It’s good to have friends. Prep detail pieces for primer. I added a drop of canopy glue to hold the parts down temporarily.

Putting little thingies on sticks and bars. That's what we modelers do, right? :giggles:

Bruce, that is pretty spiffy 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!"..
