Managed to get the green on...I think I've been sold a doozy by Vallejo - their Dark Green 71.011 is incredibly close (almost indistinguishable) to their Light Green 71.022

Anyway - next steps are protective coat, decals then wash and finally the guns and nose "pointy thing" and she's done

I need to turn away from this hobby before it is too late. I simply would not have the room to store all of them.

I'll go out on this limb and say that you won't ever have the time to build that many models.  if you finish that carrier in a year I'll honestly be surprised.

Yeah. You're probably right.

I've begun donating books to the library. There will be a Gus mini-wing there soon.

I sold them all.

The only one I have left is my wee 1/72 Me-262 Airfix kit from the 1970s and my original series Enterprise 1701 which I didn't sell because my daughter got me them for my birthday.

I need to turn away from this hobby before it is too late. I simply would not have the room to store all of them. Between books, guns and ammo, I take up most of the house, shelves and closets. With a model collection, my wife's sanity would definitely be pushed over the edge.

Unfortunately, I can't find the images. I know I sold it on eBay, but they don't have my previous listings on there so I can't find the images.

I did find this image - but it's only really of the top of the model. I was taking a photo of my collection before I went on a selling binge.



I did also find my Jagdpanther, Chieftain and Leopard 1 - thought I'd post them before I lost the images forever.




This was my aircraft colelction.
