Hi all. I've been an infrequent contributor to this forum, :o and I see that there have been over 8,200 unread posts since my last thread, so you're either a VERY active group, or it's been even longer than I thought since I last visited; probably a combination of both. About a year ago the Fiddler's Green bug bit me. I like fun, short duration projects with minimal parts, and FG models fit that description to a T. I don't want to suggest that they're easy though, and if any of you have built any FG models, I'm sure you'll agree that they have their own frustrations and challenges. I have an ongoing thread on the Fiddler's Green forum titled "jusfiddlin's models" where I've been posting descriptions and admittedly poor photos of my builds. I reduce the models to a consistent 1/72 scale (with the exception of the Corsair which somehow wound up being 1/95 scale), and use 110 lb card stock (
way too heavy, but I've gotten used to it). I know every forum loves pictures so I thought I'd pay you guys (and gals), a long overdue visit and submit some photos for your viewing pleasure.

I'm currently building der Kampfflieger's Vultee Vengeance in 1/100 and his Martin Baker MB2 in 1/72. I'll post some photos when they are done.
