Edit: This is what it was supposed to look like, but that was just design 1.0. Didn't work out this way. Once I have a place to work (i live in an apartment now) I intend on finishing this project, which is already about 3 years old. People build planes in less time!

does it count if it was a team effort?

Well, I made it, and I did it, but do you really want me to post it here? I always document the best of my creations :D
 
I made this Ericson 35 half hull because I couldn't find one to buy.

Different category of "art," I guess, but it's now into its third printing(in distribution on a regional basis, thus far, a sellout for me).

The Knox County edition is a work-in-progress. These images are PrtScns of my actual work pages. Numerous resellers are aligned in Knox County, based on the prototype, when the sucker is finished. Good thing I don't have kids to take to 4-H, sports practices and games, etc., or I'd not have time to do this stuff.

The Seguin Island book is about due for the 2nd printing.

I went through a model building kick in the early 2000s, using posterboard. The blue sedan was first, followed by a Porsche Speedster clone. I spent most of the summer of 2002 on the next, and last, one:



The quasi-C310 cargo hauler was my magnum opus.

It's just what we do. Here's one of the order I'm working on now. These are tiny, I'd call them a "scale model" more in the spirit of this thread.

Fictional concept aircraft I painted on PSP. The last one is a turbo prop C185 based airplane, the others are completely fictional. The quality of the paintings were ruined when I converted them to JPEG and resized for upload.

I was in Ohio with a couple of friends over the weekend and we made these:

Longaberger?

You were not far from the fly-in at all!!!

Yes, I know and I thought of you all at lunchtime when my 2 friends and I were eating at the Longaberger restaurant, but we had a full schedule of events on Saturday that ended up being so worth it! One of my friends' tickets got drawn for a huge prize and she ended up with about 30 free baskets, some retired and in mint-y condition. :happydance: The weather was beautiful on Saturday and I'm happy for you there was a great turnout! :D

I did get a very nice text from Ed saying that baskets were more important, so I know he understood why I missed the get-together. :rolleyes: LOL. Looks like the next lunch is at KBMI though, which is less than 50 miles from my home base, so it would appear that I don't have an excuse. I promise I will try harder to make the next lunch. :yes: At least I can drive to this one even if the weather sucks or the plane is broken.
 
Just picked up model building again after about 15 years.

Glad you had a good time. Believe it or not I have never seen that building other than photos.
 
I made something earlier, but I flushed before I thought to take a photo.

LOL...sorry.

Seriously though, I have the "fix-it" gene, not the "make it" gene, I swear. Broken crap just finds its way to me. I don't even look for it anymore.

I have a list in my phone of reminders, and it's categorized by various things... the "Repair" list is by far the longest one... I might fix half that stuff on that list before I'm dead... maybe.

That is some great detail in those models. The weathering on the pickup is amazing. Show us more.

Here is the only other model I still have from long ago. It was built using a v35 bonanza kit and a t34 mentor kit. I tried to make an a36. I cut the door open and cut the cowling to show the engine. Not quite as good as the cars but this was made several years ago.

Probably not too many railfans reading this forum, but there's at least one.:yes::D
 
The rails are cool, more people like them then you would think. I have a friend whom walks the rails to this day shooting video of every train he can. I told him, you get arrested today walking the rails.
I then told him about the day I thumbed a ride on a freight train when I was about 12. They stopped right outside my home and let us off. I will never forget it. Me and two friends. The man whom told us to get on the caboose was the president of the railroad. The man in the Caboose told us this after he yelled at us for coming in his caboose.
