Getting there fast

This build is coming close to the end, my captured Sd Kfz 11 late half track is nearing completion at this point, although every time I really look at it I can see just how much more I need to do. There's quite a bit actually, and this is just sub assemblies posed for the photo.

I've been sidetracked with other stuff lately (my 1/72 Finemolds Millennium Falcon) but managed to put in a few nights on this to get where I am now, at any rate it's begining to look the part.

Enjoy/Comment/Critique.

Scale Modeling

The childhood hobby that followed me into adulthood. The dream I once had about being published in those dog eared magazines I spent my rainy days thumbing through long realized, I find myself seeking the simplicity of the hobby I once had as a child.

This is my place to do that, my quiet little corner of the web where I can just unwind with my imagination and find oneself as while simultaneously losing oneself. My bench is my escape, from reality and weight of the world with it's drama and deadlines. Adding that aspect into ones hobby can make it that much less enjoyable. Imagine sitting down at your bench and having your boss demand things from you and your annoying coworker chewing his banana with with his mouth open in your ear.

It's a hobby. It's not life. Enjoy it how ever you like, be it out of the box or rivet counting. Don't let anyone tell you any different, and allow them the same leeway in their endeavor. Build how you like, like how you build.
