I used to build models as a youth. With little time, detailing and photographing these small diecast cars and trucks is relaxing and takes me back a bit. I'm just going to throw pictures in this thread of some of the ones I like.

Superb photography, Dave! The backdrops and the models complement each other perfectly.

nicely done .... nicely done indeed

Great work, Dave. Thanks for sharing them with us.

You do good work Dave.

nice!

Cool. Makes me want to take them out and play...

Very nice Dave. I love military models.

I built models up until I moved out of the barracks in the Corps. Went to a large hobby shop here several years ago looking for a special paint to match a ding we were touching up. Found the paint, and also found a model of the CH46 helo I spent most of my career working on, and flying in.

The boxed model is still in the top of my closet, waiting for the time when I will have the patience to give it the attention it needs. I don't want to just build the box model, I want to add authenticity. Patches on the airframe, real markings from my squadron, a true bureau (serial) number. I have plenty of pics. It will be a challenge.
