Some of the stuff you see in "Fine Scale Modeler" is almost beyound belief.

Im more impressed with the attention to detailing than the model itself, all those figures :88)

It's ridiculous how detailed that is. :o Are those all handmade figures/aircraft? (I'm guessing not... But if they are that's just insanity)

I get the impression are ... at least the aircraft, each one is a full-blown 1/72nd built model.

Great job ending with a great model!:rock:

I've been fascinated by this one since Finescale Modeler showcased it back in 1997. I still have that issue.

Ive seen that model on 2 different forums now- great build. Rene spent more than 5 years building it. Great commitment. Most of us by first week would just give up. :timeout:

Wow! Talking about commitment...
BTW Siara I didn't know that you were Polish or Polish-descendant?

Yes- i was born in Cracov- south of Poland, but lived here in old blighty for last 16 years now.:shucks:

[conus00]

I see. The reason why I asked is that I would have never guessed (based on your English) that you were, actually, not British. I was born in Czechoslovakia but just started my 9th year living in the United States...

That model is just amazing! Building an aircraft carrier to fit his planes is a cool way to go about it. I wish I had the skills to build something like that!
