I did own one years ago, but found the maintenance, mixing, and cleaning to be too tedious (even between colors!!!). Plus, companies like Testors and Tamiya came out with accurate colors in spray cans, which are much easier to use.
Your models look gorgeous. Well laid out displays too, nicely spaced so they’re not competing for attention and each piece is easy to view comfortably. I like your clean approach to the paint detailing too. A lot of modellers go overboard with the weathering especially. Beautiful models.
@@dennisspost4328 You did just fine. Very nice collection. I keep mine in a glass cases to avoid the evil dust. I live one block from the edge of town and endless fields of lettuce and strawberry so we get a lot of dust on windy days.
Nice work, Dennis. I only do the Guillow balsa/tissue WWII models and also use spray cans to replicate camo. Works pretty good for me. I've got about 20 WWII fighters, including a couple WWI biplanes and an A-1 Skyraider with a full ordnance loadout hanging from the ceiling in my model room. We've got a great hobby, friend.
Thanks. I must admit that I did try to build a Guillow balsa model many years ago (I believe it was an Fw-190A), but it came out horribly. I've been an injection molded plastic modeler ever since....
@@dennisspost4328 I built a Guillow's FW-190 and have it up hanging from the ceiling! A really beautifully designed machine. The plastic models are more difficult for me because they're more detailed and require more precise techniques in the building. The balsa/tissue Guillow models allow a lot more free form as you build and it seems all my sins and errors can usually be covered up or repaired with scrap balsa, a re-paper job over the blemish or even some sheet rock joint mud.
Thankfully, I do not. However, my B-47 and B-52 both fell from the ceiling at different times, but I managed to repair and rehang both of them. I also lost a 1/32 scale Bell X-1 to my cat many years ago, but unlike the bombers mentioned above, my damaged Bell X-1 was only suited for the garbage can.
You have some very beautiful models there. I have a 1/72 Valkyrie which I had made for me by a company in the U.K. It’s also a beautiful model, but doesn’t have the very fine details that your models do.
They all look VERY good! How do you decide which models you make? Two models that I HAD to make were the F14 and B58. Simply because they are beautiful (my humble opinion). Nice to see the F84 Thunderjet in your collection. That was one of the jets my father flew, as well as the Meteor and T33.
How do I decide which models to build? Sometimes I will get inspired by an aircraft documentary on TV or read an article online or in a magazine. My interests have always been primarily in WW II, Korea (and the 1950's), and Vietnam era aircraft.
Ohh man!! I need to organize my kits like yours! Excellent work!! How long have you been building? I’m in my 50th year. I’ve got a few of your kits in my stash and I’ve built a lot of your kits over the decades.... I’m a huge WWII guy with tons of Luftwaffe birds. The giant 1/32 kits coming out of Germany are awesome and I super detail the heck out of them.
I've been at it almost as long as you. Larger kits (1/32, 1/24, etc.) are great for detail, but where are you going to put them once they're built??!!! I settled on 1/48 scale for my shelf-displayed kits because they have good detail and you can put quite a few on each shelf.
Dennis Spost I have made custom display cabinets for them. The size is not a matter for me, making accurate representations of these machines is my main concern.
I've been hanging my model aircraft for years, using clear fishing line. Although I have dropped a few in the past, it was never due to the fishing line breaking. The fishing line should state the amount of weight it will support (in lbs.) right on the spool. I usually use two lines cut to the desired length and tie the ends to a washer or small key ring. I then screw a plant hook into the ceiling, slip the two fishing lines over the fuselage (making sure it's balanced properly), and hang the plane. For really huge models such as the B-52 and B-36, I had to use heavier fishing line and larger plant hooks.
@@dennisspost4328 Hi. I'm just wondering, is that heavy diecast planes you hang from your ceiling? Do you just screw hooks directly into the ceiling? Or do you use plugs first? I'm thinking of hanging 1/72 diecast bombers. Thanks. Great vid. 😎
No!!! These are plastic model kits that you build and paint. They are much lighter than metal diecast models. However, my larger 1/72 scale bombers (B-52, B-36, etc.) are still quite heavy and I used heavy duty plant hooks (see OOK 50332 Jumbo Swag Hook with Hardware in amazon.com).
I have actually owned three cats since I bought this house. Only one destroyed one plane many years ago (Revell's Bell X-1 in 1/32 scale). Maybe the cat was attracted to its bright orange paint scheme!!!
For not owning an airbrush, your models came out great!

I think it's really cool to see another modeler who uses spray cans too

Beautiful models.
Thank you. I couldn't agree more with your weathering comment.
Nice. I wish I could see them in person. 'No airbrush looks pretty good.'
good collection and great work,thanks.
Nice collection.
Very nice models.
Well done too
Nice work they look great.
Amazing room brother 👍👍
Fantastic ...can see a winter camoflague JU52 next door too
That is correct. Check out my WW II Model Aircraft Room (1/48 & 1/72 scale) video for a closer look.
Outstanding video and presentation.
Thank you. I've always hated speaking in public (or on camera)....

I very impressive model room with great model kit and job well done. Let us hope that you do not live in an area where there are earthquakes.

dude thats so cool
awesome collection! subscribed!
indeed
Seus kits estão muito bem feitos! Parabéns!!
I only speak English, but thanks for the comment (I think).
Hello, i commented on your airplane kits, they are very well made! Congratulations!!
@@thiago78knight Thank you.

Do you get anxiety when you look at the B-52? How do you support it?
I've been hanging my model aircraft for years, using clear fishing line. Although I have dropped a few in the past, it was never due to the fishing line breaking. The fishing line should state the amount of weight it will support (in lbs.) right on the spool. I usually use two lines cut to the desired length and tie the ends to a washer or small key ring.

you need a cat ~
