Those are a great level of finish for a hairy stick and you're a model making factory.....lol. Nice work

Wow, and brush painted too.
That Vought F4U-1A made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I might need a moment alone.
I spent 20 minutes checking these out. I haven't build an aircraft in over 20 years but all these talented builders may change that in a hurry.
Amazing hand work.

Great work John, love the F104

Love your models!! very clean!

Wow!!!! and painted by hand. RESPECT.

its plane to see you love aircraft..and hand painted aw well superb work on all counts

Have to come clean here, my first post stated virtually all hand painted, the f104, YF22 and Foxbat are airbrushed, the yellow Gnat/Hawk and Ferrari were rattle canned, but the rest were indeed hairy sticked.

Thanks for the positive comments though.

John.

well no matter bud they are all superb models that's what counts

From now on I will be using this thread as evidence to all those people that say you can't get the same quality finish with a hairy stick as you can with an airbrush! Top quality work!

Nicely done there. Do you ever, sleep/eat/anything else except model?

that would represent about 10 years of modelling for me. Great work

fantastic stuff there

where do you keep all them models my wife would go nuts

wait 'till Rob (Basicmodelling) starts posting his builds.....

Cheers guys,

In answer to the question, at the moment my completed models are stored in these.



but as you can see from the top there are already some too large to fit in and I've got two 1:48 B58's and a 1:48 B1B on top of my wardrobe part finished so some shelving is going to be needed soon.

Anyways, to bring this up to date:

Oh my. John these are spectacular.
Top Drawer... haha. Sorry.. bad pun.
That's a clever storage idea... it's too bad that they don't come with a transparent front on those doors or they'd be perfect.

Fantastic stuff their and soo many.

I'm still fairly new to aircraft modelling and this is really inspiring. ]

Very impressed mate, would like to see some painting technique vids from you.

Super collection buddy . Brush-Painting is a challenge .

This portfolio deserves 6 pages of positive responses. It's an inspiring and impressive collection.

Great work there, you can't tell you brush painted them

Cheers

Phil

DAMN!

Fantastic Portfolio you have here , I like the Vickers Wellesley , that lenght of the wings , also like the storage solution

Your work is just superb ! Congratuations !

Must ask you something : Do you get to modelling during your sleep ?

Damn...and not the one the Lancaster is flying over?! That's a lot of airplane builds you have there! You've been a busy chap with the hairy brush and have done an excellent job of hiding that fact!

Thanks for sharing...was a joy to see them all, mate!

Cheers,

Martin

I love your work, you have great skills with a paint brush and the airbrush. The stand out model for me is your Heyford, Iv just read an article in SAM about it, if I come across the revell kit I might pick one up

lots of great work

Here's what I've been up to in 2015 kit wise. Quite a productive year and managed to get a number of stalled builds finished, a process I'll be trying to continue in 2016.

I haven't touched the Airbrush this year so all are brush painted with enamels but started to use Aquacolor particulaly for metalics.
