What are your other hobbies?

The B-25 was a Flying Styro Kit B-25J that I modded to be a B model Doolittle raider static model. I took it to the Doolittle Raiders Reunion a few years ago and had the survivors sign the wing for me. It was a true honor to get to meet those incredible men there. For the full scale end, I got very lucky. My dad owns the chopper, and has his instructor's rating. He taught both my brother and I to fly and we both got our private pilot licenses.

Thankyou sir! I have a few of the prepaint stuff myself. love em too. who made that B25? would love to be a full scale pilot. never could afford the training though. Love the work you did on those btw .

[F106DeltaDart]

Beautiful work on the models TShobbies! Those kits look fantastic. Here are a few shots of my work between scale modeling and painting. All of these are 1/18 scale models, with the Bell 47 being a scratchbuild and the others being repaints and mods to existing models. Also threw in a photo of my favorite other hobby at the end, full scale flying.

Did you do the atrium? I have seen some epic builds of this model. I have the NX enterprise in my stash. Still looking for a decent bird of prey though

Is that Randy Coppers runner? I was gonna nab that but I was worried I would mess up all the engine alignments.

yes, little river, trees ..people waling around. Yes, I would love a 1/350 BoP ..my favorite...or a 1/350 D or E ! The BR was from Chris Kelly..which is much bigger than the RC model. yes, the engines were a PITA

TSI love your choice in women and boats. pontoons are great for duel purpose. Camping and fishing all in one. Been known to even drag along my 17ft bass boat on a large lake here in nc using the pontoon as base camp.

lol, yeah makes for alot of fun..got rid of the ski boat ..this ones slower ,but more room.

I love that show!!! Ha, ha, I have the video. Sounds like we share the same passion with trucks, cars & turning wrench. I've always been good at building, figuring out things. Just part of what I enjoyed doing in those days. Very cool, I couldn't believe you mention dazed & confused; that is a Classic! Your doing some cool work there, keep up the great job. Cool to see those projects, good guy stuff! Have a good one. Matt

Check my other thread for updates. I do not want to clog up this one. I just did a whole bunch of red bits and have started final assembly. I do commission work as well.

[AkumaZeto]

Thanks man! Yeah thats the one.. full lighting kit, shuttle bay ,the works. These ships look great when theyre all lite. which Xwing kit is that? Looks like the MPC kit.
Heres a few more shots of the E , plus a couple more I had fun with ..the Blockade Runner was a really big kit, 42" all resin.

Nice Stug! Is that the 1/350 polar lights refit Enterprise? Here is some more shots of the Xwing I just posted. First shade coat done. Maybe you can see the effect I am going for. Helps make panels pop. Threw in some of the hanger as well.

Keep me posted on that X-wing. That is really cool. Matt

I love the wide mouth GMC era. I call them wide mouth but it was a solid bar HUGE grill in the mid 70s. Step side. The truck from Dazed and confused is epic.

I'm finding it taking more and more precedence over RC lately but I'm also into full scale cars and racing.
I have a '93 Mustang coupe that I drag race at the local track; and a '96 Cobra that I will be building as a bonkers street car that can hold it's own in a car show as well as the local road course. Then there is the '64 Fairlane that I hope to get started on sometime as well.

I'm also in art as I enjoy drawing and airbrushing.

Also quite often we like to go hiking/backpacking and camping. Usually with our 2 dogs.

So with all this and working 2 jobs I barely find the time to fly my planes much more. I've hardly touched my rc on road car and rc drag cars.

Mainly woodworking and renovations, since I was in the trades for a number of years. Now I get to spoil my kids with repairs and renovations on their own houses.

[AkumaZeto]

I also build water cooled pc rigs. Custom acrylic formed and fit instead of floppy tygon lines. No off the shelf parts here either. 480mm radiator up top. Avid over clocker and knob dicker

My wallet says I have too many hobbies.. along with RC planes, I also build plastic models of all kinds, then theres the pontoon boat..restored it over the summer, and its more of a family fun than just me... and of course I collect Star Wars as well...

Doing some preshading on this Incom T-65. Will post again after I Apply the final base coat.

[AkumaZeto]

All you can do is apply. Tom's a great guy to work for. Both he & Mark have always been really good to Us. I dig the hobby and, the people I work with. Cheers! Yeah, I was a motor head for many years. I got into superchargers for a bit, then trucks. The older Chevy K15 style, I dig the older 76 thru 86 4X4 trucks.

I was going to apply for a CS spot at motion but I doubt Tom would hire me.
