Haven't done anything since I completed the diorama. Between massive projects at work and my wife's failing health, I haven't found the mood to do anything. There's 3 figures on my bench that have a bit of paint, but have been sitting awhile.I am hoping, life permitting, that I'll start again so...
First Diorama Complete
Other than going back and doing a little clean up. I really was putting off buying things needed to make this.

Various muscle cars then into a whole collection of NASCAR kits in the late 80's, early 90's with my brother. Never thought I would build military kits or figures.Last year, a friend talked me into going to the local model show.
