Thanks
Thanks for the compliments, I've been working on models since I was a kid. We are making room for a second child so storage may be the only option unless we can wiggle more furniture around. The blackhawk is 1/35th Academy if I remember correctly. It was my first large scale aircraft. I like tanks so if you screw up you can just put mud on it and all is good. The judges noticed a small fingerprint on the glass on the underside of the cockpit otherwise it would have won best in show.

RE: Thanks
That it is some seriously good looking work. I have tried building models at several points in my life with the same results, the only things I can glue together are my fingers.
Good job.

RE: Thanks
Very nice thanks for sharing them. Storage may be a wise option having four kids has taken a toll on many of my models.

Maybe you can sell a few at this guys prices, then you could build a extra room. Wayne

Wow.
Good grief !!!
If I could pull that kind of money for models I would, but my skills are no where near that of Verlinden. I can't imagine buying a model for the same price as an actual truck. Check his sold items someone paid $1000 bucks for a truck/tractor 
I get attached to my models but I may be able to part with some of them now that I think of it. His reputation probably sells them as much as his actual work.
Armyman, I can remember back when I was probably 9 or 10 my Dad was out and me and a friend were playing in the family room and I threw a pillow and wiped out his CCKW on the TV set. Boy did I ever dread him coming home to see that. I cried my eyes out thinking that he was gonna whip me but he didn't
