Me too, I still have the leaflet that came with the halftrack. The way he weathered the vehicles with dry- brushing. It was the start of my hobby

Fantastic progress Matt! Shep would have loved this. I was fortunate to be visiting Shep at his house with a couple of friends when he was working on some of the Monogram models. We were sworn to secrecy 
but it was truly inspiring.
Cheers,
Ken

Wow! Bucket list activity. You must have been a baby, that was awhile back!

I wish! Actually, I was in my mid to late 20s, more or less.
It was a great time to be in the hobby.

Nice job on the OD, Matt! It's nicely modulated and subtly varied, not overblown. Great progress!
Prost!

His house was like a museum. Fascinating place.

Crikey, the wingspan on the B-24 model must be well over a yard, maybe 3'6"... even if setting that diagonally across, that will be a large base board. Lovely neat work on the plane, it's coming along well.

Matt,
Have you considered the 8th Air Force Museum in Ga. as a home for your dio? They have a great museum and a lot of info on the 448th. My Dad was in the 417th Squadron.

Impressive beast of a dio, I love it! That's an excellent scenario, looking really good. The interior, plus the foil tape damage, figures, rigs and all. Can't rush perfection no matter how long it takes, lol. I love the punch list too, btw.

I have to do that as an aging guy- gives me direction when I say, "Now what was I doing?"
