Some Fiddler's Green models
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'll post some photos when they are done. Regards, Don |

Great stuff in small scales! The bomb rack (and the bomb) look really nice. Looking forward to looking at more of your stuff!

I love the set ups. Where did you get the bases from? Great job. I too like FG models for the same reasons that you mentioned.

The bases really make the models stand out.
The V1 display is a poignant reminder of the true purpose of some of the aircraft modelled. Tim |

If a picture was worth a thousand posts, then you have made up for your absence!:D

These are VERY nicely-built models with great presentation.
I especially like what you have done with the Vindicator and Piper L-4, having tried those two myself (with far less satisfactory results). Don Boose |
