…are a few blurry photos… [V]
Been in the same situation my friend, I have just recently (2 years) begun to rebuild my collection.
What was once my pride, a collection of 100+ models was reduced to a pile of worthless plastic in just a couple of hours, when the movers were to careless with the boxes [:(]
Hard to look back, but life must go on and in no time you’ll have a new collection of great models, Dice.
These were very good builds. Can’t cry over spilt milk, just start building them again.
Regards, Rick
Maybe some day I will get the time, after I get my two books on the A-10 done.
What? No A-10’s Dice?
You are supposed to Go Ugly Early, not late. [:D][;)]
Those are nice builds there Dice.

sorry life played out that way it happens but as everyone else said live to build another day.[8D]
Mike, that’s when I was teaching courses on the F-16 and A-10 and all my A-10 models were either hanging in my modeling room or displayed at work!!
Hey Dice;
Long time no Hear, great job on the kits, I feel for you on the moves just waiting for mine to get here in MD and to get started again
i can honestly say that i was happy when my “colection” from so long ago was destroyed. it saved me the pain of looking at those globs of glue with some plastic thrown in. the current collection however is well documented.

With a wife and TWO daughters count your blessings if you have anything left. My wife and one(and only) daughter decided that I did not need approximately 30 years of Wings, Airpower, Air Classics, Air Combat, and a few other sundry magazines including Fine Scale Modeler beginning with issue No. 1. I came home from a fishing trip to find it all gone. They were proud that they cleaned up my “MESS”.
All of my unbuilt kits were boxed up and put in storage. None of the boxes are labeled and the kits are not stored according to “scale”.
Solution: I divided the basement in 1/2. 1/2 is mine and they get the other 1/2. I put up a wall down the middle of the basement with a door that has a lock and only I have the key. I started a new collection and she does not have to see the “mess” because she cannot get in there!
A word of advice. If you have two daughters you do not have enough bathrooms, nor enough closet space! Best wishes.

It looks as though you have the foundation to build an even nicer collection Dice. It’s always tough when you loose something you’ve put so much of yourself into, but ya gotta move on. semper fi, mike
…may try my hand at the 1/48 scale F-4G (half built) I have in the basement…
Hey Dice;
what brand of F-4 is it?, I’ve built the Hasegawa & the AMT/Ertl/Esci’s both are not to bad but the AMT’s needs a little more work with the Filler, and aftermarket parts for the Double Main Offices,
Cuda, it’s a Hasegawa kit I started a long time ago (over 3 years) that never got finnished.
