They're all brilliant and the fact that you've achieved such a high level of finish without an airbrush makes it even more impressive

I share some of your "issues"............I'm 65 & have asbestosis of the lungs from service in the Navy. I shouldn't airbrush, but I do. Way to shaky to use a "hairy stick"

My situation is a bit different, as I figure the need for positive "time wasting" on my hobby for me out-weighs the health issues, as I'm careful as can be, and I figure the "other" is going to get me first anyway........might as well enjoy what I have left. A bit fatalistic, I realize, but for me, realistic.

I think you should be proud of your accomplishments here...........you have done exceptional work with less exotic tools than most of us use, and have done a great job of it.
Thanks for giving me something to strive for!! Keep up the good work, you can stand proudly with the rest!!
Jim J.

Hi Jim sorry to here about your "issues" I know what you mean when you say realistic. Thanks for the nice comments I do my best it might not right but I still enjoy it very frustrating at time though. How long were you in the services? I bet you have some tales to tell.Pete

They are all top-notch. The dioramas are especially impressive and all done with a brush? You should be very proud of your work.

Thank you very much, I use Plasticard and the size I use 0.5 for most building but 0.25 for round or odd shape's, 0.75/1.0 for strength/reinforcement to a structure.
