Truly remarkable...My self-esteem just took another shot. I guess it's like golf or bowling, or any other past time, watch those who are good at it and "dream".

See? It's clearly a piece of cake when you know how

What an awesome model - some people just have a frightening amount of talent

OK, correct me if I am wrong...It appears he builds the frame out of sprue or styrene strips, paints it, and then puts something clear over it afterwards.
I liked all the little people on the ship. I wonder if they came with the kit or are aftermarket. I've got a bunch of the eduard 2d folks for 350 scale, but heard there is some company that does 3d. I'ld like to get a box of those to populate some carrier decks and maybe a few for my Yamato that one of these days I'll finish. Just can't seem to coorinate with Keith to get those parts he made for me. Well with kidee football over now he may show up at next meeting and remember to bring the parts to his store.
