And it's an impressive collection, too!

[Swampfox]

Texman, I envy your ability to build the same a/c over and over. I've tried many times and have only been able to build 3 of the same before I run out of steam.

You can probably build a MIG-21 faster than anyone else on the planet;-)

Excellent collection and great image.......

I have had difficulties understanding why someone would repeatedly build/or do the same thing all over again but accordingly every time I see a collection like this I feel the sense and meaning of doing so. It is the sole practise I know so far that produces masters. Congratulations.

I do and that's why I've never performed there. :D

Amazing all around - design, build quality, detailing, and photography not to mention the single-minded focus, discipline, and attention it must take to do them all without "dropping" at least one!

Good on 'yer, Ray!

Excellent choice, well deserved, now get your magnifying glasses out, Ray did it again :cool:

[Texman]

Thank you all very much! It was quite a surprise coming home from church and having this greet me on my entry to the forum. And the boys went crazy when they saw it was this picture on the front page!

[DrLaser]

This certainly qualifies you for a PhD in MiGology. Impressive collection Ray, or should I say Dr MiG!

[Paperbeam]

1/144 scale and such clean lines - plus the enduring patience to build a virtual fleet of them...

Well deserved, Ray!

[peter taft]

Excellent choice and very well deserved P.O.T.W - Here's to you Ray ;)

[USA Supersonic]

Most impressive. You really got to like MIG-21s to do that. OCD helps too.

[3dpaperminiatures]

Very Nice¡¡¡¡

[Werner Smuts]

WOW... what an awesome collection..... can I have them?? ;-D

[chiawatkom]

Yahoo! Awesome!!

[Jan Kytop]

Great choice , an impressive collection!

[mbauer]

Optical Illiusion of the week!

Is it just my laptop or do they "jump" out as you scroll down the screen when first loading the site?

A couple of times as I scroll down they seem to move and drawn attention to them as they get bigger!

Very interesting effect! To verify I scrolled back and forth and they do seem to jump if you don't look right at them, but kind of out of the corner of your eye!

Big collection of a great builder.
Congratulations Ray.
