Amazing simply amazing.Surely something to work to.

The guy who builds these aircraft lives in my area also.
He is associated with the Fremont, CA chapter of the IPMS I believe, and they have meetings about 20 minutes away from me.
He is indeed a master modeler and has the weathering down pat as it is amazingly realistic.
I don’t understand how he only got 2nd place at the Nationals in AZ though for that F-14 diorama. [%-)]
The first place entry must have been incredible. [:0]

This guy is not just a master but a super master… the weathering looks just like what the true F-14 does look likeafter 6 months at sea.
Super build.

All I can say is, WOW!!! The weathering on that thing is awesome. The F-15 looks awesome too.

12

WOW, Right down to the proper texture on the bombs.

13

WOW![bow]

14

Incredible…absolutely incredible. I think it would be safe to say that he is the caliber of modeler we all wish to aspire too.I agree with MikeV,I wonder what the first place entry was that had what it took to beat the Tomcat.

15

to heck with the F-14… look at the rest of his kits!!!

I saw it, that particular model/diorama, at the 2004 TamiyaCon, I believe that he took one of the top four honors that got him a trip to Japan. There is a really nice how to/walkthrough on building your favorite the F-15E on that website.
