I love to build the vintage kit straight 'out-of-the-box' with all their imperfections, excessive flashing, poor fit, seam lines and lack of any (real) detail. This is largely because I have tonnes of them in the stash and little time or money for purchasing posh after-market goodies!
Of course I appreciate that my finished result is more akin to a toy and nowhere nearly as accurate and realistic as those more skilled than I, assembling the finer modern kit offerings, coupled with aforementioned after-market parts.
I genuinely marvel at the abundance of skill on show within this site, some of you people are true modelling masters, mechanical engineers and many seem professional photographers also.
Call the end result of my bash... Artistic license 'interpretations' of the real thing. I definitely do not strive for realism, for me modelling is just another creative output.
Remember... Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it!
