Well that is pretty extreme it has been an involved project from the jump .To my knowledge,I have never seen anyone attempt to scratch build a big motorhome .Great challenge for sure!

Yeah, Lucius, I knew my mirror craftmanship hopes/desires suggestions, would be a bit pushing the micro-detail construction envelope extreme, but very impressively cool, if you could/did pull it off with on going posted pictures, descriptions of how you managed to do it and still remain sane !
 
Your RV is coming along nicely. Excellent job on building all the appliance's from scratch along with the rest of your build..

I`ve been following your modeling thread postings for sometime, Lucius, and figured that you might have some latent, and unexplored/realized watchmaker level skills, and wished to see you exploit them ! ;)

Hey ! I have faith in your detail oriented model creation/construction skills, my A/K friend ! :hug:
 
Latest Metal Earth model I assembled this weekend. This is one of the worst fitting kits by M.E. I have built .I had to do a lot of tweaking to get everything aligned the best I could. You can see in the head on shot the two fuselage halves are out of alignment and with the canopy being on both halves it is offset. I am guessing this may be a older kit, but I'm always up for a challenge and it came out pretty decent considering. The ME-109 was one of my all time favorite subjects to build when I did plastic models. IMG_20230205_204208867.jpg IMG_20230205_204228423.jpg IMG_20230205_204303206.jpg
 
I recently found some photos of way in the past models I did.

The date on the back of the van pic is 1978. I was 10.
IIRC it's the first one that I actually 100%completed. Didn't paint it, though. It was molded in black.
I think I went back and tried to put a white stripe on it and failed miserably.
I also was trying to use a decorative tray as a background.

The date on the Nova is 1982.
Again an experimental background technique.
Looks like it worked better this time.
I think I had just learned how to black out the grills.
