Ya gotta do what ya gotta do in this hobby!
LOL! Thanks Carlos! I really should get some more updated pics in there.

What a full packed collection you have!
And so many ships as well!

Thanks Kari! Yes, they are very packed. As I mentioned above, I should get some more updated pics of that room. Yes, a lot of ships: my current count of finished ships is 297. I should finish some more ships and bring that count over 300...

Chad Lebo aka Zod
Cliff aka New Mex
Rich Durham
and Carl aka Shellback,
And one other friend that some former LEMurs may recognize: Ken Tinsley whom I've heard has not been doing very well. This tank is done as one from his old unit.
And now here it is after all this time: my 1/35th scale Dragon M-48A3 Patton tank; the second only 1/35th scale tank I ever built. (My first was a Pz-38t done when I was eight)
Yes, the gun does look misaligned in this last pic; it is an optical illusion as I've already checked it for true.
And there it is; thank you for looking in, comments are welcome.
Very nice build Bruce!!

LOL! No worries. I have those days too.
Our Patton display was one amazing display that had 90 Pattons of all variants in it. What a massive collection and we took First Place in the Group Build category.
I know: this thread is worthless without pics, so give me some time. I have a ton to get re-sized, saved and posted.

Thanks Carlos. I didn't get the chance to get that photo of the whole collection. I did do a video on my phone but can't get it off there to post here. Hopefully someone has one somewhere I can get. If you are in the area sometime Carlos, stop by Brookhurst. Henry said something about making room for the whole display in his store.
