I couldn't look at these kits trapped in the box any longer. They are certainly not the quality builds that most of you are used to on these boards, but my grandkids think I'm Michelangelo. The trick to being a great modeler: Keep your audience under 10 years old.

Hey, those look great to me!
I always struggle with bright vibrant colors and you nailed them on both kits.

Besides, the goal is to have fun, and finish some kits. Finished is always better than perfect.

I don't see anything "off" about them at all - they look excellent!

Show some self-respect, Bucko! Take a bow!

Thanks, Dale & Tim. I felt that the major accomplishment was finding a can of chrome spray paint in the basement for the Chrysler building. "Crap, I think that works" to my surprise.

They look great to me - I'd be proud to have them sitting on my shelf!
