Bruce HuxtableThat's a great way to always have space for just one more in your evolving collection 👍 Your friends and their children most be pleased as punch to have such lovely momentos of their visits. I bet your generosity is kick-starting new modellers' hobies 🙂👍

Alec KGreat idea to have built models on hand as giveaways, to infect a new generation 😄 👍

Peter GI just started modeling in January 2021 and am enjoying how the more models you complete the less precious each becomes which permits more experimentation and play.

Robert PodkońskiThank you all, Mates, for your kind words.
@Bruce: In fact, one of these boys now assembles Zvezda 1/100 snap-fit tanks himself, and is eager to try more complex kits 🙂

Łukasz GlińskiVery cool. Love these kits too. Let me guess why my Komet is the same set and 'camo'? 😉

Mike SiemersAlso good job getting the kids interested, we need more modelers. Can anyone remember those days of innocence when this was mainly a kids hobby, and you would get a new kit with your allowance, and build the kit in a weekend, and not a bunch of middle aged men spending hundreds of dollars, and weeks and months just building one kit

Bruce HuxtableI can certainly remember trying to clean enamel paint off a cheap brush, on newspaper, and having no idea that thinners or brush cleaner even existed! So many memories of every single kit built 🙂👍

Robert Podkoński@Mike and Bruce - that's why from time to time I just need to assemble some kit not taking care about (too much) detailing and weathering, etc. 😉

Bernd GrünNice build, Robert. A good replica of that yellow wing flyer. Cheers!

RuiYour 'easy ones' build collection is kind like what I am doing with low-cost 1:72 kits to try out different techniques. Most of your builds are on my agenda. 👍

Alex K... and kudos for the latest addition, that lovely (and a personal favorite of mine) SG-38/Eton... 👍 👍 😉

Bartłomiej RusieckiThis glider is especially important to me because it reminds me of my childhood when my father made a flying version of it. You've done a very good job with it.

Andy BallI heartily endorse this approach!...what a good way to have a diversion and some experimentation...we scientists do it all the time, and it should be applicable to model making!
Excellent standards too!- despite the fact they're 'shake and bakes'...

Simon NagorsnikREally nice Leo!! Good work Robert!
How was the assembly and quality of the kit?
I plan to do the same, only in the version of the Austrian Armed Forces;)

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Simon, I feel honoured by your praise 🙂 The kit is simplicity itself, can be assembled in no time. Fit is just perfect - it is almost a snap-fit kit.

Kyriakos VafiadisA really beautiful collection! You reminded me my childhood, when me and my uncle visited his good friend, he always had a nice little gift to give me. He was mainly worked with matchbox 1:76 kits. Thanks for sharing!

Isaac KiteStunning presentation on the A5M. You've done the old workhorse proud.

Jan PetersNice collection of tryouts Robert, I had somehow missed this album before?
28 October 2023, 12:16
Robert PodkońskiThanks, Jan 🙂 I just upload here photos of the newly finished kit from time to time...

Robert PodkońskiThanks, Łukasz, much appreciated 😉 Generally, printing is quite good - no visible layers and the level of detail is awesome (due to this I lost the tiny rear-view mirror to my carpet monster at the stage of removing the technological supports - I just did not notice it... On the other hand, a few technological supports touch the sides of the cabin - you can easily spot their remains - practically impossible to remove for me. Also the tarpaulin supports and benches are printed together in situ, what makes cleaning the whole compartment a bit difficult. (Of course, one could substitute these supports with pieces of wire... 😉 ). Tracks, wheels and their supports are printed as whole units as well. No transparencies, no decals, of course... Recommended! 😉

Markohey Robert, very nice compilation and there are also a few really rarely seen models.
I also saw the trouble with the decals on the beautiful Buffalo.
I'm excited to see what else ends up on your table👍

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Kyriakos! You've inspired me to finish the MiG-15 in USAF markings 😉

BohrmannVery nice inspirational collection. I enjoy browsing through the album. 👍👍
The model in photo 21 and 22, is this a Peugeot Char 1918 37mm tank in 1/72 scale ?

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Bohrmann, much appreciated. Yes, it is Peugeot Char (3d printed kit from Polish company: Peugeot Char 1918 37mm (Play..hnology) IDA-PMI0139B, 1:72))

Album info
I like these since they serve me as simple and relatively cheap "canvases" to try new modelling, painting and weathering skills... And I always have something on my shelf that I can give to my friend's sons, when they visit me 😉
